BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS LEON COUNTY, FLORIDA

PCM130105 DISC Village
The intent of the land use change and PUD is to convert over time the existing DISC Village into
an independent and assisted living retirement community.
B. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL:
1. The existing DISC Village is a legal non-conforming use under its current Rural land use
category. Eliminating this non-conformity will allow for further investment in the
property and provide some flexibility for future use of the property.
2. The subject property, when combined with an adjacent parcel that would be incorporated
into the PUD as proposed by the applicant, is within one and 1/3 mile of the area of
Woodville that is built up with commercial land uses, and is designated as a growth node
in the Regional Mobility Plan.
3. The applicant has applied for a PUD that would be limited to estimated maximum of 416
residential dwelling units within the combined 199.4 acres under common ownership as
the DISC Village, as well as incorporate other requirements of Policy 4.2.5 of the
Conservation Element. These requirements include, as applied to this proposed land use
amendment and accompanying PUD, new development to connect to sewer facilities
designed to achieve Advanced Wastewater Treatment standards; the use of Low Impact
Development planning and practices, particularly as they apply to stormwater
management; and no net increase in dwelling units within the Primary Springs Protection
Zone (in which the subject property is located).
4. As part of the development of a PUD, the applicant will be required to specifically
identify allowable land uses and their densities and intensities, and all specific impacts
from this proposed development, the phasing of development and any required
infrastructure or other mitigation, including transportation impacts, and any needed
improvements or other options for wastewater treatment and disposal consistent with
Policy 4.2.5.
C. APPLICANT’S REASON FOR THE AMENDMENT:
The applicant has stated that their purpose for requesting this land use change is to make the land
use designation conform to the existing use of the property as the non-profit DISC Village.
Another reason is to allow more flexibility for the reuse and redevelopment of the Village and a
101.4 acre parcel immediately west of the subject property (this adjacent property is currently
within the Woodville Rural Community). The applicant is proposing the conversion of a portion
of the existing facilities into a residential and nursing home facility for senior citizens with a mix
of independent and assisted living facilities, including nursing services and extended congregate
care facilities.
D. STAFF ANALYSIS
DISC Village is a non-profit community-based agency that has been in operation for nearly 40
years. It is one of the largest and most comprehensive prevention, intervention and treatment
agencies in Florida. DISC Village provides delinquency and substance abuse prevention/
intervention programs in Leon County and North Florida.
