Commercial.

EXISTING LAND USE: Vacant.

the west of the property. Access to the 33-acre site will be from S.R. 50, Hooks
Street and Miss Florida Avenue.
The future land use on the adjacent 19.34-acre tract is Undeveloped District 6
(UD-6) Commercial. Upon annexation of the subject property, the owner would
be required to apply for a comprehensive plan amendment for a UD-6
Commercial Future Land Use Map designation. Currently, a comprehensive plan
amendment text change affecting UD-6 is pending with the Florida Department of
Community Affairs that would limit the intensity of this 33-acre site to a .26 Floor
Area Ratio, which equates to no more than 373,745 square feet. The proposed
text amendment is anticipated to be adopted by the City Council in July. Staff
recommends approval of the request.
Chairman Pape asked if the applicant was present.
Cecelia Bonifay, Akerman, Senterfitt, 420 S. Orange Ave., Orlando, FL asked
that the Commission approve the request for the rezoning of the property.
Chairman Pape asked if there was anyone in the public who wished to speak
about this request. There was no one.
Commissioner Holzman moved to approve the request: seconded by
Commissioner Berlinsky. The vote was unanimous for approval.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
