SUMMARY
Sebastian General Partnership, owner/developer for Chesser's Gap PUD, has applied for a modification to the
conceptual plan for said PUD. As the applicant has detailed in the attached Concept Plan written information
package, industrial development was included within the original approval, but as of yet has not been developed
within the site. As surrounding demographics and development impacts have greatly changed since the original
approval, the applicant desires to modify the industrial land allocation to permit multi -family residential as
permitted within commercial PUD's. There is a demonstrated need for such development and providing multi-
family within the confines of the PUD will create a transition zone between the single-family housing within
Harbor Pointe and the existing commercial within the PUD. Additionally, the elimination of industrial from the
PUD will provide consistency with surrounding zoning categories, as the multi -family zoning is more appropriate
for transitional areas adjacent to residential and commercial developments.
Please see the attached plan for further information and evaluate accordingly.
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed said request during a public hearing held on March 4, 2004, in
which a unanimous decision (6-0) favoring approval was to be forwarded to City Council. As such, staff
recommends approval of the Chesser's Gap PUD modification for elimination of industrial development and the
addition of multi -family housing as detailed within the enclosed plan drawn by Schulke, Bittle & Stoddard, LLC.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Conduct quasi-judicial public hearing.
