Council adopts first reading of Ordinance 2025-608 to rezone Sunrise Estates PUD
Summary
The Keystone Heights City Council on Aug. 4 approved the first reading of Ordinance 2025-608 to rezone 13.88 acres on Sunrise Blvd to allow 60 residential units. Council raised traffic and sinkhole concerns and scheduled a second reading for Sept. 18, 2025.
The Keystone Heights City Council voted Aug. 4 to adopt the first reading of Ordinance 2025-608, rezoning 13.88 acres on Sunrise Boulevard from one PUD to another to allow 60 residential units — 44 single-family detached homes and 16 townhomes.
City Planner Janis Fleet presented the staff report saying the proposal complies with the Comprehensive Plan and includes required tree mitigation and land-development standards. Applicant Joe Wiggins of Joe Wiggins Construction described the multifamily buildings and said he would accept additional conditions related to potential sinkhole risks. Fleet and staff committed to providing an updated site plan and all attachments ahead of the second reading.
Council members pressed on traffic and sinkhole concerns, and on ensuring the new PUD would carry forward conditions from a 2022 PUD. Councilman Dave Welch moved to adopt the ordinance on its first reading; Councilman Dan Lewandowski seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The council set a second reading and final consideration for Sept. 18, 2025.
Key details from the proposal include 13.88 acres for development, a total of 60 proposed units, and price ranges the developer cited for homes: townhomes estimated at $250,000 to $275,000 and single-family homes from $275,000 to $450,000. Staff said the final site plan and complete PUD attachments will be provided before the next hearing.
