node, the current zoning and Future Land Use designation only allows for
more residential development. Please refer to Zoning Vicinity Map, Figure

According to the West Pensacola Street Sector Plan, which was prepared
by the Tallahassee-Leon COunty Planning Department in 2006, sixty-five
percent of the sector is between the ages of 18 and 24, with sixty-three
percent enrolled in college. Recommendations from public input to the
sector plan included directing high density/intensity development to the
corridors and permitting an increase in density there, whi1e encouraging
mixed uses and good urban design. Specific to Jackson Bluff Road,
recommendations for redevelopment included allowance for higher density
development in existing retail areas or existing multi-family areas. Also,
additional development, if approved, should be compatible with existing .
single-family housing and utilize urban design techniques. Jackson Bluff
Road should be a walkable/ pedestrian friendly road with a mixture of
housing types and uses. A Future Land Use Map and zoning change to UT
would allow for smaller scale commercial intermixed with higher density
housing to support it. This combination increases chances for the success
of retail, service, and food and entertainment establishments that will
serve the neighborhood as a whole. The design standards contained
within the UT zoning category provide for aesthetic protections and value- ·
added functionality.
