Planning board recommends rezoning of golf-course 'donut hole' to recreation
Summary
The Planning and Architectural Review Board voted unanimously to recommend rezoning PRZ 26 001, a roughly 2.94-acre parcel adjoining the golf course, from medium-density residential to recreation; the recommendation goes to the city commission for final action.
The Planning and Architectural Review Board voted unanimously Tuesday to recommend that roughly 2.94 acres identified as PRZ 26 001 (parcel 29-12-32-000-01010-0010) be rezoned from medium-density residential to recreation.
Planning staff member Lupita told the board the rezoning aligns the small interior parcel with the surrounding golf-course uses and the city’s comprehensive plan. "It's approximately 2.94 acres of medium density residential that will be rezoned to recreation," Lupita said, adding that the site plan included in the staff report was provided for background and is not under consideration with this rezoning request.
The matter drew public comment from Mary Levine, who said her unit backs onto the golf course and asked whether the buyer under contract for the golf course was also planning to buy the interior 'donut hole' parcel. "My unit, backs on the golf course, so we have a vested interest in what's happening," Levine said. Drew, who addressed the board as the party familiar with the sale, responded that both the main golf-course parcel and the interior parcel were under contract and that the purchaser had consented to the proposed rezoning prior to closing.
A board member moved to recommend approval of the ordinance read on the record (transcribed as "ordinance 20 26 0 4"); the motion was seconded and the board recorded unanimous affirmative votes. The board’s recommendation will be forwarded to the city commission for final action. The vote on the recommendation was recorded as unanimous; the clerk confirmed all members present voted yes.
The board also discussed that any future changes to perimeter landscaping, barriers or redevelopment proposed by a purchaser would be subject to site-plan review and additional approvals before construction could proceed. The commission chair closed the public-comment period before the vote.
Next steps: the board’s recommendation will be included in the packet to the city commission; staff did not indicate a hearing date at the meeting.
