Auburndale approves land-use and zoning changes for annexed Haire Lane parcel for warehouse
Summary
The commission approved first readings of Ordinances No. 1833 and No. 1834 to reclassify +/-8.73 acres annexed in June 2025 to Commercial Corridor and to establish PD-C1 zoning for a proposed 34,375 sq. ft. warehouse; a masonry buffer and binding site plan will address wetlands and adjacent residential areas.
After annexation in June 2025 the City received a request to change the Future Land Use and zoning for a roughly 8.73-acre parcel at US Hwy. 92 and Haire Lane to allow a 34,375-square-foot tent-making and distribution warehouse.
Community Development Director Julie Womble described the binding site plan and said a solid masonry wall will be installed along Haire Lane to buffer the commercial use from adjoining residential areas. When Commissioner Keith Cowie asked whether outside display would be permitted, Womble replied that it would not, and that the Planned Development designation accommodates wetlands and the site configuration.
City Attorney Frederick J. Murphy Jr. read Ordinances No. 1833 and No. 1834 by title. Commissioner Keith Cowie moved and Commissioner Bill Sterling seconded approval of Ordinance No. 1833 on first reading; the motion carried unanimously. Commissioner Bill Sterling moved and Commissioner Keith Cowie seconded approval of Ordinance No. 1834 on first reading; the motion carried unanimously. Both proposed ordinances will return for second and final reading if no changes are required by subsequent review.
