Planning board backs three map/text ordinances, punts height rules for Sunset Drive
Summary
The board unanimously recommended approval of three ordinances that amend the comp plan, future land use map and zoning map to expand the TSDD; it voted to exclude Sunset Drive and several buffer areas from the height/text amendment pending staff massing studies and a review of transfer-of-development-rights options.
The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of three related ordinances—PB-24-025 (comprehensive-plan text), PB-24-026 (future land use map amendment) and PB-24-027 (zoning map amendment)—by recorded voice votes that the meeting record shows passed unanimously.
Board members recorded motions and seconds for each ordinance and the minutes show unanimous assent for items 25, 26 and 27. For the building-heights component (item PB-24-024) the board did not adopt the proposed height text as written for certain areas: members moved to exclude Sunset Drive, the Sunset buffer and residential buffer (cross-hatched) areas from the text change and instructed staff and the consultant to return with massing studies, recommended TDR language and reconsideration of minimum unit sizes and open-space bonuses.
The board clarified that parcels already mapped as part of the existing TSDD would be affected immediately by text changes once adopted, while blocks added by the map amendment would wait until the comprehensive-plan amendment transmits to the state and returns after review. Staff told the board the ordinances and map changes have a statutory timeline for state review and a typical March–April effective window if approvals proceed.
