MAP AMENDMENT #: PCM130102
APPLICANT: Louis Chambers
PCM130102 West Brevard Street
TAX I.D. # s: 21-26-53-002-0010, 0011, 0020, 0040, 0050, 0060, 0070 (±1.15 acre)
CITY __X__ COUNTY _ _
CURRENT DESIGNATION: Residential Preservation (RP)
REQUESTED DESIGNATION: Central Urban (CU)
DATE: January 9, 2013
PRELIMINARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve Amendment PCM 130102
A. SUMMARY:
This is a request to change the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) from Residential Preservation
(RP) to Central Urban (CU) on seven lots totaling 1.15 acres located immediately north of
West Brevard Street, between Dade Street and Dean Street. The existing Residential
Preservation category allows single-family housing up to six units per acre. The proposed
Central Urban allows a variety of office and commercial uses and housing up to 45 units per
acre. The subject site includes the existing Blue Collar Restaurant, a use which is nonconforming
under the Residential Preservation category. This request would provide relief
from the current status as non-conforming and allow the applicant to expand the use.
In conjunction with this map amendment, the applicant is requesting a zoning change from
Residential Preservation -2 (RP-2) to Central Urban -18 (CU-18). A rezoning application has
been filed concurrent with this map amendment.
B. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL:
1. The requested change to the Central Urban land use category would be consistent with
the predominant development pattern occurring along this segment of West Brevard
Street. The proposed CU land use category allows office, commercial and retail
activities, along with a variety of housing types, all of which are located in the vicinity of
the subject site.
2. The proposed amendment site does not generally meet the criteria for Residential
Preservation as established by Land Use Policy 2.2.3.
3. The proposed amendment eliminates a nonconforming land use which further and
supports the intent of Land Use Objective 1.5.
