Council Adopts PUD Amendment for Gatlin Plaza, Clears Space for Additional Development
Summary
Council adopted ordinance 25‑38 approving the Fourth Amendment to the Gatlin Plaza PUD to add approximately 353,000 sq ft of building area and to subdivide a tract for future development, potentially increasing overall permitted development to 750,000 sq ft and allowing a 120‑room hotel.
The City Council adopted Ordinance 25‑38 at second reading, approving the Fourth Amendment to the Gatlin Plaza Planned Unit Development (PUD). Planning staff said the amendment revises PUD language and the internal PUD map to add approximately 353,000 square feet of building area by dividing an existing tract into multiple tracts for future development; staff said the total entitlement could allow up to roughly 750,000 square feet, plus up to a 120‑room hotel.
Planning staff reported that the amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan because no future‑land‑use changes or rezoning are required. The staff memo noted Public Works and FDOT review of traffic mitigation and monitoring thresholds, and that the Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval with conditions. Council approved the ordinance after the applicant and staff addressed FDOT’s concerns and clarified timing and triggers for traffic mitigation.
Next steps and conditions The applicant will continue to coordinate with Public Works and FDOT on traffic monitoring and mitigation if development approaches the agreed‑upon thresholds; the PUD amendment’s updated language includes timing and monitoring requirements for mitigation to address future traffic impacts. Council’s action was the second reading adoption of the ordinance.
