PUBLIC HEARING: YES QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES
EXPLANATION: This application is a request to add the subject property to the Wellington Zoning Map, with a zoning designation of Community Facilities (CF), in recognition that the property has been annexed and given a Comprehensive Plan FLUM designation of Community Facilities (CF).
SUMMARY: This application is the final part of a 3-part request concerning the existing Panthers Run Elementary school. The first component of this trio is an application to annex the property from the unincorporated area of Palm Beach County into the Village of Wellington. The second component is an application to add the subject property to the Wellington Future Land Use Map (FLUM) as CF (Community Facilities) which is the appropriate designation for schools in the Comprehensive Plan, from the County LR-2 FLUM designation. This rezoning application is to change the County AR (Agricultural Residential) to CF (Community Facilities) on the Wellington zoning map. Therefore, this application is not a request to rezone a property already on the zoning map, but rather is to assign an appropriate zoning designation to an already existing use that is being brought into the community. This proposed rezoning complies with the review criteria of the LDR for rezoning applications.
