Planning board recommends rezoning of 2200 Jackson Street to higher‑intensity mixed use
Summary
The Planning and Development Board voted March 10 to recommend approval of a rezoning request for a 0.59‑acre portion of 2200 Jackson Street, moving the parcel from DH‑2 (medium‑intensity multifamily) to DH‑3 (high‑intensity mixed use); staff said the request meets Article 5 criteria and will be forwarded to the City Commission.
The Planning and Development Board on March 10 voted to recommend approval of file 25Z91, a rezoning request for roughly 0.59 acres at 2200 Jackson Street.
Laura Gomez, a planner with the city's Planning Division, told the board the applicant, Bridge Asset Management LLC, seeks to change the parcel’s zoning from Dixie Highway Medium Intensity Multifamily District (DH‑2) to Dixie Highway High Intensity Mixed Use District (DH‑3). Gomez said the rezoning was for 0.59 acres and corrected an earlier notice that had listed 0.79 acres in error, noting the smaller acreage ‘‘results in a less impact of a request.’’
Gomez said the site currently has a split zoning pattern caused by historic folio boundaries and that DH‑3 zoning on a portion of the contiguous site would allow cohesive redevelopment across parcels. She explained that under current regulations DH‑3 sites within 200 feet of a DH‑2 district are limited to five stories or 55 feet, a buffer intended to protect lower‑intensity adjacent properties. Staff evaluated the application against Article 5 rezoning criteria in the zoning and land development regulations and concluded it met the applicable standards; staff recommended the board forward a recommendation of approval to the City Commission.
Applicant Liz Summerstein, who waived quasi‑judicial formalities for the hearing, said the project concept is primarily residential and that no commercial space is proposed. When asked whether a traffic study would be required, staff said that determination is made during site plan review.
Committee member [name withheld in transcript] moved to approve the rezoning recommendation; the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor with no opposition announced on the record. The board’s action forwards the file to the City Commission for further review.
The City Commission will consider the rezoning at a future meeting; staff advised the board that by forwarding a recommendation the next procedural step is the commission hearing.
