SUBJECT:
Legislative Hearing - Ordinance 17-032, Amending City Code Section 22-22 - Allowed Uses, specifically within the Commercial Parkway Zone (CP-1) ; to classify Wholesale Trade as a permitted use within the subject district. SECOND READING
SUMMARY:
- The applicant, Fort Pierce Business Center LLC, and representative, Daniel Sorrow, AICP of Cotleur & Hearing, have filed a request for a Text Amendment to Chapter 22-Zoning,to allow Wholesale Trade as a permitted use in the Commercial Parkway Zone (CP-1).
- Wholesale trade establishments, as defined by City Code, are businesses which generally have substantial quantities of merchandise on the premises and which are primarily engaged in selling merchandise to other wholesalers, retailers, manufacturers, other businesses, governments or institutions.
- The Commercial Parkway Zone (CP-1) is established for the purpose of providing space for large lot development along principal vehicular approaches into the city. This is a mixed use district which should provide for certain types of office, commercial, and industrial operations which are typically characterized by a business park setting. This district may function as a transition zone between commercial/light industrial activities and uses which may be sensitive to nuisance such as residential land uses.
- The CP-1 district is currently established entirely south of State Road 70 (Okeechobee Road), in between the Florida Turnpike and Interstate 95.
- The Planning Board, at their August 8th, 2017 meeting, voted unanimously to recommend approval of the presented amendment.
