...body
EXPLANATION: This application is the final part of a 3-part request concerning the existing Panther Run Elementary school. The first component of this trio was the application to annex the property from the unincorporated area of Palm Beach County into the Village of Wellington., which was completed on February 21, 2023. 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. Currently the property is designated the LR-2 on the County FLUM and is zoned AR (Agricultural Residential). This rezoning application is to change the County AR (Agricultural Residential) zoning to CF (Community Facilities) on the Wellington zoning map. 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 has been brought into the community. This proposed rezoning complies with the review criteria of the LDR for rezoning applications.
