Planning staff backs lot‑width amendment for two Tarpon Point lots
Summary
City planning staff recommended approval of a PDP amendment to remove a 100‑foot minimum lot‑width-at‑building-line requirement for Lots 5 and 8 in Village C of Tarpon Point, saying the change is consistent with prior amendments and will facilitate infill development without increasing density.
The hearing examiner heard testimony supporting a planned development plan (PDP) amendment to eliminate a 100‑foot minimum lot‑width requirement for two irregular lots in Village C of Tarpon Point.
Linda Miller of Avalon Engineering, representing property owners James Rizzo and Michael (Michael Lynn) and Whitney Kirby, explained that Lots 5 and 8 were irregularly shaped and narrower at the building line because of the cul‑de‑sac layout. "Our request this morning is to eliminate the minimum lot width at the building lot requirement for Lot Number 5 and Lot Number 8," Miller said, adding that similar relief had been granted to other lots under a prior PDP amendment.
Patrick White, principal planner with Development Services, said staff reviewed the request under the city’s land development code and found it met the criteria for a PDP amendment, would not increase density, and would help facilitate infill. "The relief sought by the owners is identical to be granted to several property owners in the village under a prior PDP amendment," White said. He recommended approval and asked that the applicant’s and staff’s PowerPoints and reports be incorporated into the record.
There was no in‑person opposition; one email from a nearby resident was received after materials were filed but did not state an objection. The examiner said she would recommend the rezoning move forward as requested and noted the case is expected to be introduced to council after the upcoming hiatus.
