Council approves comp-plan amendment and rezoning to allow commercial use for TJL Associates parcel
Summary
On first reading the City Council approved ordinance 2025-2318 (future land use) and 2025-2319 (rezoning) to change parcel 014S1602703014 from residential medium/RMH-3 to commercial/commercial-intensive; the applicant plans a personal training/elite gymnastics facility.
The Lake City Council on June 2 approved on first reading a comprehensive-plan amendment (ordinance 2025-2318) and a companion rezoning (ordinance 2025-2319) to change the future land use and zoning of Columbia County parcel 014S1602703014 from residential medium (up to eight dwelling units per acre) and RMH-3 (residential mobile home 3) to commercial and commercial-intensive (CI).
City staff presented the application and recommended approval, noting the parcel is adjoined to commercial designations on two sides and that surrounding parcels to the east and south are in initial stages of similar petitions. Carol Chadwick, agent for TJL Associates LLC and the applicant, told the council a site plan exists and the intended use is “a personal training facility for elite gymnastics.”
The application was presented under quasi-judicial procedure; participants took the oath and the council limited testimony to sworn evidence. No interveners or members of the public offered comment. The council voted by roll call to adopt the ordinances on first reading; Miss Sykes recorded affirmative votes from Councilmember Carter, Councilmember Young, Councilmember Jernigan, Councilmember Harris and Mayor Walker.
Staff’s presentation described the parcel’s location relative to adjacent commercial and residential parcels and concluded the petition complies with the city’s comprehensive plan and land development regulations. The council entered the applicant’s materials into the record and did not receive cross-examination or further oral evidence.
The ordinances change both the future land-use designation and the zoning map for the parcel to allow the commercial use described by the applicant. Councilmembers did not propose conditions or amendments at the hearing. The measures will move forward per city code for ordinance adoption and codification.
