Commission adopts small‑scale map change to allow townhouse residential on 64th Street parcels
Summary
The commission replaced a legacy mixed‑residential category with a townhouse residential designation for four parcels on 64th Street; the change aims to correct an anomaly and permit townhouse redevelopment options, with rezoning to follow if owners or the city propose changes.
The City Commission unanimously approved a small‑scale future land use amendment reclassifying four parcels on the north side of SW 64th Street from a mixed‑residential moderate density category to a townhouse residential designation.
Mark Alvarez (Corradino Group) told the commission the change is intended to correct an inconsistency that left those lots in a category used only on a handful of city parcels. He said the townhouse designation would allow townhouse forms and up to three stories in certain townhouse categories while keeping nearby single‑family compatibility in mind. "This will actually correct that because when we did the townhouse category we allowed for single family to exist as a right without being a legally non‑compliant use," Alvarez said.
Commissioners said the map change does not rezone the parcels today; any owner seeking different zoning would still pursue a rezoning application and public hearings. The commission approved the amendment 5‑0.
