The Crestview City Council adopted two ordinances on second reading Sept. 22 to change the future land use designation and rezoning for a roughly 7.56-acre property on Antioch Road.

Ordinance 2010 amended the comprehensive plan to change the parcel's future land use designation from commercial to residential. Ordinance 2011 rezoned the same property from commercial low-intensity (C1) to the single- and multi-family dwelling district (R3). Both measures passed on second reading by a 5-0 vote.

City planning staff told the council the property was submitted for a future land use amendment on July 31 and that the Planning and Development Board had recommended approval of the change on Sept. 2. Adjacent uses include city commercial low-intensity, county low-density residential and agricultural properties. Staff noted that no development application had been filed; engineers will review civil design, utilities, traffic and stormwater once a development application is submitted.

A councilmember raised concerns about flooding in the area and asked how stormwater and mitigation would be addressed when a development plan is submitted. Staff responded that engineered stormwater systems will be required at the development stage and that residential development would typically provide more green space than commercial uses.

The public hearing drew no speakers. Council approval on second reading was unanimous, 5-0.
