Board backs rezone to Urban Corridor T‑4.5 for Calypso parcel; staff calls it an infill opportunity
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of a comprehensive-plan amendment and rezoning to Urban Corridor Zone T‑4.5 for a roughly 1.5‑acre parcel near Piney Island Drive to allow mixed‑use infill; staff said infrastructure is available and the parcel suits the Timber to Tides vision.
Nassau County planning staff and the Planning and Zoning Board on Oct. 7 recommended approval of a future-land-use amendment and rezoning for a 1.5-acre Calypso Commercial Holdings property, moving the parcel into the Timber to Tides Urban Corridor Zone T‑4.5.
Will Reiter of the Planning Department told the board the parcel lies about 1.5 miles southwest of Shave Bridge and was vacant with some dilapidated structures. Reiter described the request as an infill opportunity in an existing commercial corridor that already has public water and sewer. "This is a mixed-use zoning district," Reiter said of T‑4.5, noting that it allows nonresidential and residential uses with a maximum density and that no minimum residential requirement applies to the parcel.
Staff found the request consistent with comprehensive-plan policies including FL.01.02J and FL.02.06 and recommended approval; the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of CPA 25‑019 (motion by Board member Flick; second by Board member Morris) and the companion rezoning R25‑009 later in the meeting. Both recommendations passed by voice vote 5-0.
What’s next: The recommendations go to the Nassau County Board of County Commissioners for final action; any future development will be subject to site-plan review and the Timber to Tides community-based design standards.
