Board approves Barry Bay rezoning addition and CDD expansion with community benefits including potential fire station
Summary
The board approved a combined rezoning to add ~55 acres and 110 dwelling units to the Barry Bay planned development and a related Community Development District expansion; staff and the hearing master said the application meets Waimama Village standards and includes community benefits such as a potential two‑acre civic lot/fire station, more internal open space, and a crosswalk to Little Manatee River State Park.
Staff presented a major modification to an existing plan development to add approximately 55 acres and 110 dwelling units to the Barry Bay project, along with a petition to expand the Berry Bay Community Development District. Planning staff and the Zoning Hearing Master reviewed the proposal for consistency with the Waimama Village Community Plan and recommended approval subject to community benefits.
The applicant's representatives described community benefit items that include reserving land for a potential fire station, increasing internal open and recreational space and providing a crosswalk connection to the Little Manatee River State Park trail. The hearing master found the addition consistent with existing approvals and noted that the proposal will comply with Waimama Village residential regulations; both rezoning and CDD expansion were approved 7–0.
