Board skeptical of adding Neighborhood Commercial to Artisanal Mixed Use table; recommends denial of Ordinance 2025-15
Summary
Members questioned whether incorporating Neighborhood Commercial (NC) into the Artisanal Mixed Use (AMU) future land use is appropriate; staff said the change brings consistency for parcels already zoned NC but the Board recommended denial of the overall ordinance and suggested targeted rezoning instead.
Ordinance 2025-15 also proposed including Neighborhood Commercial (NC) in the Artisanal Mixed Use (AMU) future land-use designation to align the Future Land Use table with existing NC-zoned parcels. Staff and the Board Attorney explained AMU (and its Artisanal Industrial zoning district) allows mixed low-intensity commercial, retail, and residential uses; staff argued adding NC into AMU would bring the table into conformance with on-the-ground zoning.
Board members were cautious, noting Neighborhood Commercial is generally a less intense use than the Artisanal Industrial (AI) district and asking whether the change would allow less intensive uses where AMU was intended for more intensive artisanal or industrial-mixed uses. The Board suggested staff pursue rezoning where parcels are inconsistent rather than using a text amendment. The Board voted unanimously to recommend denial of Ordinance 2025-15 to the City Commission.
