Quasi-Judicial Hearing - Ordinance 24-004 providing for a Zoning Atlas Map Amendment by owner Ubilla-Duque Holdings, LLC., of one (1) parcel of land to change "Area 1" zoning classification from Commercial, General CG, to General Commercial, C-3, and "Area 2" zoning classification from Residential Multi-Familu (RM-11), to Residential High (R-5) generally located at 3307 S US Hwy 1 Fort Pierce, FL 34982. Parcel IDs: 2427-601-0050-000-7. FIRST READING

In accordance with Sections 125-37 and 125-133 of the City Code, the applicant is requesting the review and approval of "Area 1" rezoning from CG, Commercial, General to C-3, General Commercial, and "Area 2" rezoning from Residential Multi-Family (RM-11) to Residential High (R-5).

The property subject of this rezoning was presented to the City Commission on December 4, 2023, pursuant to Ordinance 23-053, and received approval for the annexation of +/- 3.72 Acres and for the Future Land Use of “AREA 1” to be designated General Commercial (GC) and “AREA 2” to be designated High Density Residential (RH). Due to a scrivener's error within the approved ordinance the property retained the existing County zoning districts when the property was annexed.  Therefore, this ordinance proposes corrective action to rezone “AREA 1” from existing County zoning of Commercial, General (CG) to City zoning of General Commercial (C-3) and rezone “AREA 2” from the existing County zoning of Residential Multi-Family (RM-11) to City zoning of Residential High (R-5).

The requested application for a Zoning Atlas Map Amendment meet the criteria specified in Section 125-136 of the City Code, the Comprehensive Plan and does not adversely affect the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare. Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL of the proposed "Area 1" rezoning from COM, Commercial, to C-3, General Commercial, and "Area 2" rezoning from RM-11, Residential Multi-Family to R-5, Residential High.
