Commission approves rezoning of Clyde Morris Boulevard parcels to community commercial
Summary
Two commercial parcels at the northeast corner of Clyde Morris Boulevard were rezoned from a 1999 PCD with specific architectural requirements to conventional community commercial zoning to ease future redevelopment.
The Planning Commission unanimously approved on March 27 an administrative rezoning that will change two commercial parcels at 4619 and 4629 Clyde Morris Boulevard from a Planned Commercial Development (PCD) approved in 1999 to the City of Port Orange community commercial zoning district.
Planner Penelope Cruz said the PCD’s master development agreement contains specific use restrictions and architectural requirements — including material, roof-color and outdoor furnishing specifications for one lot — that may limit future redevelopment. Cruz said those constraints were likely tied to the original restaurant and outdoor seating design and now hinder other types of commercial reuse.
“Rezoning the subject properties to community commercial is anticipated to help with redeveloping the properties,” Cruz said, noting the proposed zoning aligns the parcels with surrounding properties and the commercial future land use designation.
Commission discussion was brief and there was no public opposition. Commissioners praised staff’s efforts to modernize antiquated PCDs and the motion to approve the rezoning passed on a roll call: Stan Schmidt, Daniel Malagull, Maria Mills Bennett, Beau Bofimi and Thomas Jordan voted yes.
Next steps: records will be updated to reflect the community commercial zoning; any redevelopment proposals will be reviewed under the land development code and applicable permitting.
