Council introduces ordinances to rezone 1350 North Dixie Highway for 10-acre housing redevelopment
Summary
The Boca Raton City Council on April 24 introduced two ordinances to change land use and rezone a roughly 10.04-acre property at 1350 North Dixie Highway for the Residences at Martin Manor, a redevelopment by DM Redevelopment Limited (a partnership of the Boca Raton Housing Authority and Atlantic Pacific Communities LLC). The measures were introduced for future hearings; no final votes were held tonight.
The Boca Raton City Council introduced two ordinances on April 24 that, if approved in later hearings, would change the future land-use designation and zoning for a roughly 10.04-acre site at 1350 North Dixie Highway to allow higher-density residential development.
The clerk read Ordinance 56-93, a proposed amendment to the city’s future land-use map from Residential Medium (RM) to Residential High (RH) for the site, and Ordinance 56-94, a universal conditional rezoning from multi-family residential R-3 to multi-family residential R-5. Both measures name DM Redevelopment Limited, described in the ordinance titles as a partnership between the Boca Raton Housing Authority and Atlantic Pacific Communities LLC, and reference Chapter 23, Article 6 of the city code of ordinances.
The ordinances, described in the title reading as providing for the "Residences at Martin Manor" project, include standard language that they are "subject to conditions providing for the appropriate revision" of the comprehensive plan map and zoning district map and that effective dates and appeal language will be provided. Council members introduced the measures at first reading; no public hearing or final vote on either ordinance occurred at this meeting.
City staff informed the council that, while the ordinances were introduced tonight, they are not expected to be heard at the council's first meeting in May and that a specific May date for formal hearings is still being finalized.
What happens next: both ordinances will return to the council for formal public hearings and potential final action after staff completes review and public-notice requirements. The introduction places the proposed redevelopment on the calendar for future hearings and does not authorize construction or changes to land use until final approvals are adopted.
