Board approves final development plans for two Tributary PUD units, including 50 affordable townhomes

The Nassau County Board of Commissioners on July 14 approved two final development plans for phases of the Tributary planned unit development (PUD), finding both plans consistent with the amended preliminary development plan and the conditions of the development order.

Adam Olsen, Planner II with the county planning department, presented staff’s review. For FD24-003 (Unit 12) staff said the final development plan covers roughly 127 acres and proposes 220 residential units: 50 affordable townhouse units, 22 market-rate townhouse units and 150 single-family homes. Olsen said the 50 affordable townhomes will be for sale and priced for moderate‑income buyers as defined in the development order and that the location and timing satisfy DRI Special Condition 26. "These 50 affordable townhouse units should meet that special condition of the DRI," Olsen said.

For FD24-004 (Unit 17) staff described 123 residential units, comprised of 122 duplex units and one single-family lot; associated stormwater ponds, roadways and open-space areas are included. Staff reported both final development plans conform to the most recent preliminary development plan (Map Series H) and to conditions in the Tributary development order (last amended in Ordinance 20 25-006). The Planning & Zoning Board reviewed and recommended approval of both FDP applications.

Applicant counsel Mike Mullen waived the applicant’s presentation and confirmed the applicant would stand on staff’s analysis. Commissioners moved to approve each final development plan after finding competent and substantial evidence in the record; both motions passed 4–0.

The approvals allow the developers to proceed with infrastructure and lot-level permitting consistent with the FDPs and the PUD development order.
