Summary
The commission approved a rezoning for 1.42 acres at 3705 South Flagler Drive and a companion plan development amendment expanding the Rosemary Square Core boundary to include part of the Hibiscus Garage and reestablishing City Place nomenclature.
The City Commission on May 27 approved a rezoning that changes about 1.42 acres at 3705 South Flagler Drive from multifamily high-density residential to residential planned development and approved a companion resolution to amend the City Place Commercial Planned Development.
The companion approval included three related changes requested by Roger Ramdeen of Schutz and Bowen on behalf of City Place Retail LLC: 1) amend Rosemary Square Core Development Regulations to expand the boundary to include the B block of the Hibiscus Garage; 2) create a Hibiscus Garage subarea covering the expanded area; and 3) reestablish the name City Place to replace Rosemary Square nomenclature in the development regulations.
The rezoning changes the property's underlying zoning designation from multifamily high-density residential to a residential planned development classification. The companion plan-development amendment sets specific development regulations for the affected area within the City Place Commercial Planned Development.
The meeting summary records the approvals but does not include vote tallies, conditions, or detailed development standards adopted as part of the plan amendment. Roger Ramdeen of Schutz and Bowen was identified in the meeting summary as the applicant representative for City Place Retail LLC. The commission's action advances the applicant's requested regulatory changes and prepares the property and the larger project area for subsequent development under the amended plan rules.
The summary also notes that the mayor and commission approved an appeal of the Historic Preservation Board's decision in case number 2505, a request by Christina Anthony of Turn 2 Construction LLC for a certificate of appropriateness to construct a new single-family house at 816 Third Street. The commission approved the appeal and thereby granted the certificate of appropriateness despite the Historic Preservation Board's earlier decision; the meeting summary does not provide the board's original finding or the vote tally on the appeal.
