Commission recommends Lakes District future land use and ER zoning for Gapway Groves parcel
Summary
The commission recommended that City Commission amend the Future Land Use Map for a +/-0.42-acre annexed parcel at Gapway Road and SR559 from Polk County Residential Suburban to Lakes District Mixed Use and assign Estate Residential (ER) zoning to connect the parcel to adjacent holdings; staff said the amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Lakes District Overlay.
The Planning Commission recommended approval on June 3 of a Future Land Use and Zoning Map amendment for a +/-0.42-acre annexed parcel associated with Gapway Groves Corp. The applicant seeks to change the parcel from Polk County Residential Suburban (RS) to the City of Auburndale Lakes District Mixed Use (LOMU) designation and to establish Estate Residential (ER) zoning that recognizes a lower-density, larger-lot pattern appropriate for portions of the Lakes District. City Planner Jesse Pearson told the commission staff recommends approval and that all development must comply with the City's Land Development Regulations and applicable state and county requirements.
Commissioner Tom Dudash asked whether the intent of the amendment was to get closer to the lake; Pearson said the objective is to connect the parcel to the larger adjacent parcel rather than primarily to secure lakefront access. Commissioner Tom Dudash moved and Commissioner Steve Lawson seconded the recommendation to the City Commission; the motion passed unanimously.
