Public Notice Notice of public hearing was mailed to 63 property owners within 300 feet of the subject property, generally corresponding to referenced Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2017-S04 and Rezoning Application 20170704Z. Written comments in opposition have been received from 2 of 63 owners, or 3%, at the time of this report s distribution. Location The site is generally located along the north side of SE Hwy 42 across from the First Baptist Church at the Villages, and extending north ±1.5 miles between SE 73 rd Avenue and SE 80 th Avenue. Request/Background The Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved Comprehensive Plan Amendments 2005-L02 & L29 (Amendments) along with requiring a corresponding Developer s Agreement (Agreement) for a Medium Residential development site. The project, titled Utopia, was also granted a Planned Unit Development zoning classification 20061208Z). The Agreement establishes three key development 1 P a g e
limitations and/or requirements: 1) a maximum of 950 dwelling units, and 2) must be an age-restricted community, and 3) the development of a water treatment plant facility for conveyance to Marion County for ownership & operation. The development property was subsequently sold, and the new property owner has now submitted concurrent Comprehensive Plan Amendment (2017-S04) and Rezoning (20170704Z) Applications to amend the portions of the land use designations and amend the PUD zoning district for the site. As a PUD Rezoning Application, the Board may establish design and development conditions through the PUD. As such, the owner is seeking terminate the Agreement requirement and instead allow the site development to proceed solely under the PUD Zoning and/or the County s general Land Development Code s design and development standards wherein the Board may establish development conditions as part of the PUD consideration process. Analysis Marion County recently updated the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code (Plan 2011, Code - 2013) to functionally incorporate the Agreement s general design and development requirements, essentially negating the need to itemize those requirements in a separate Agreement. Further, the specialized requirements of the required Agreement may be included in an approval of the PUD Zoning Application as design and development conditions may be required as part of the PUD process. The table below summarizes the main provisions of the required Agreement and which provisions are addressed by current general LDC provisions and which provisions may be addressed by the concurrent PUD Rezoning Application (20161008Z). # AGREEMENT LDC 1 Recitals Parties agree n/a 2 Definitions n/a 3 Binding on property and subsequent owners 4 Density limitation 5 Usage restriction 6 Age-restricted community Specific development standards set by the PUD Rezoning Application (20170704Z) that would be binding for the project.
