Commission recommends annexation and residential zoning for Roan lots
Summary
The commission unanimously recommended approval of annexation and zoning for two Roan lots (±1.89 acres) to become Low Density Residential with RS‑1 zoning; staff said the change matches surrounding residential development.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of a Future Land Use Map amendment and Zoning Map amendment for two lots owned by Justin Roan on Old Berkley Road, totaling approximately 1.89 acres. City Planner Jesse Pearson said the request would shift the parcels from Polk County Residential Low‑1 to the City of Auburndale’s Low Density Residential future land use and establish Single Family Residential‑1 (RS‑1) zoning.
Commissioners questioned whether the lots are contiguous with property to the north; Pearson confirmed they are. Community Development Director Julie Womble explained that the site is bounded by Lakes District residential areas to the east and west and conservation and county land to the north, and she confirmed the proposed PD zoning would not convert the property into the Lakes District zoning. Commissioner Danny Chandler moved and Commissioner Steve Lawson seconded the recommendations for the Future Land Use and Zoning Map amendments; both motions passed unanimously.
The commission forwarded its recommendation to the City Commission for final action.
