Item 15

Public Hearing * LDC Amendments - West Augustine Overlay District. This is
the final adoption hearing in a three part series to consider changes to Article III
“Special Districts” of the Land Development Code by adding a new Part 3.11.00 West
Augustine Overlay District. This amendment series creates a limited commercial
overlay district within the boundaries of the West Augustine Community
Redevelopment Agency boundaries along W. King St., N. Volusia Avenue and North
and South Holmes Bvld. The West Augustine CRA was created in 2001 in an effort
to encourage economic development within the community. In 2004, a Citizens vision
plan was completed known as the “West Augustine Beyond Tomorrow” report. This
Land Development Code amendment implements the vision plan by supporting the
creation of a higher intensity mixed-use community to create jobs, and a range of
housing opportunities, retail, dining, and entertainment uses in a neighborhood
center that is compact and complementary to the surrounding neighborhoods. A
majority of properties along these corridors are zoned only for residential uses and do
not permit commercial or mixed uses except by rezoning to Planned Unit
Development. The proposed commercial overlay district allows commercial and mixed
use development by right along the West King St., N. Volusia Ave., CR 214 and
Holmes Boulevard corridors in an effort to promote economic vitality and
independence within the area. Additionally, new additional uses are proposed to be
implemented within the West Augustine Overlay District. The Planning and Zoning
Agency recommended approval of the new overlay by unanimous vote. The Agency
did recommend that the Ordinance be amended to increase the permitted height
limits from 35' to 45' to promote mixed use developments. The Agency also
recommended that language be clarified to ensure that gas stations can be built
along CR 214, especially at the future intersection of SR 313. Both changes have
been incorporated into the Ordinance for the Board's consideration.
