ARB approves Lennar residential elevations and color palettes for Lotus Wellington 2
Summary
The Wellington ARB approved elevations, exterior materials and a 10‑palette color scheme for Lennar’s Lotus Wellington 2 residential pod, covering 100 single‑family homes, 72 townhome units and a one‑story clubhouse; staff conditions and points‑compliance were part of the approval.
The Village of Wellington Architectural Review Board on May 28 approved architectural elevations, exterior colors and materials for the Lennar residential portion of the Lotus Wellington 2 project (petition 2025-0009-ARB), including 100 single‑family lots, 12 multifamily buildings of six townhome units each (72 townhome units total), and a one‑story clubhouse.
Planning staff summarized the proposal and the applicant submitted five single‑family model types (each with two elevation options), one multifamily townhouse model, and a clubhouse/general office building. Thomas Chmileski of Insight Studio presented the elevations and the ten color palettes, and said the applicant is amending a previously approved two‑story clubhouse to a one‑story design and is coordinating additional landscape detail for lots adjacent to open space and recreation areas.
Chmileski reviewed model heights and code compliance: single‑family one‑story models have a mean roof of about 13 feet 6 inches and peak near 16 feet 11 inches; two‑story models have mean roofs around 24 feet 6 inches and peaks near 28 feet, all below the 35‑foot maximum stated in the packet. Townhome units were shown with under‑roof totals of about 2,681 square feet for end units and 2,213 square feet for interior units. Single‑family unit sizes range from about 2,016 square feet (smallest one‑story model) to 3,346 square feet (largest two‑story model); lot dimensions noted were approximately 120 by 45 feet.
Staff told the board the plans meet the architectural points requirements in the land development regulations and provided ten conditions of approval that the applicant agreed to. Board members asked for and received clarification on unit sizes and the clubhouse change from two stories to one; the applicant said site‑plan amendments to reflect the clubhouse change are in process with staff.
A motion to approve the petition per staff recommendations passed by voice vote. The approval includes staff conditions reported in the packet and requires the applicant to finalize site‑plan amendments and provide the detailed landscape treatments for corner lots and recreation‑adjacent lots identified in condition C.
Board members and staff said construction activity is already underway on parts of the Lotus project, including a daycare and the parking garage; the applicant said phase‑one site development is complete for the areas discussed and that residential construction is moving forward.
