Ordinance 15-051 – Amending the Zoning Atlas - 601 Seaway Drive - Causeway Cove
Submitted For:
Rebecca Grohall

SUBJECT:

Ordinance 15-051 – Rezoning properties generally located at 601 Seaway Drive containing 18.02 acres +/- from R-3, Single-Family Moderate Density Residential to C-5, Tourist Commercial.  SECOND READING

SUMMARY:

  • The property owner, G. Flash G.P., Inc. c/o Ashton de Peyster, and applicant, Harold H. Smyth, are requesting approval of a Zoning Atlas Amendment (Rezoning) from R-3, Single-Family Moderate Density Residential to C-5, Tourist Commercial for 18.02 acres of property located 601 Seaway Drive, known as the Causeway Cove property, formerly the Causeway Mobile Home Park.
  • The applicant has expressed interest in pursuing the construction of a marina and support marine recreational and commercial uses in the near term as the local economy develops, and further exploration commences for strategies to relocate the wastewater treatment plant. The existing R-3, Single-Family Moderate Density Residential zoning designation restricts most commercial uses, including a commercial marina.
  • The subject property features a Hutchinson Island Mixed Use (HIMU) future land use designation. This district is intended for parcels that are best suited for medium to high density and intensity mixed use developments on Hutchinson Island. The maximum residential density allowed within this category is 8 dwelling units per acre.
  • The Planning Board, at their August 11th, 2015 meeting, voted unanimously to recommend approval of the requested Zoning Atlas Amendment.
  • A total of 126 notifications of the proposed Zoning Atlas Amendment were mailed to the owners of property located within 500 feet of the subject property.  As of August 27th, 2015, 0 responses have been received. An update will be provided to the City Commission at the public hearing.
