amendment: Future Land Use Element (FLUE),
Policy 4.4.8 Pursuant to the authority
granted by Sec. 163.3187(1)(c), Florida Statutes (2016), Ordinance 2017-483
for a small scale amendment is approved subject to the following site
specific condition: Development shall be exempt from the High Density
Residential Urban Priority Area Development Characteristic that prohibits
ground floor residential uses abutting roadways classified as arterials or
higher on the Functional Highway Classification Map. The site’s location in an
established mixed use area adjacent to both the Central Business District and
the Springfield Historic District provides a mix of residential and
supporting commercial uses along with recreational and open space areas. The
site is located at the corner of two arterial roads with walkable access to
public transit, consistent with policies 1.1.25 and 2.2.13. The
revitalization of this site with high density residential infill development
supports policies 1.1.25 and 2.3.1. The residential development’s density is
supported with a full range of urban uses and support facilities, consistent
with Policy 2.10.2. Therefore, the associated development shall be
exempt from the High Density Residential Urban Priority Area Development
Characteristics that prohibit ground floor residential uses abutting roads
classified as arterials or higher on the Functional Highway Classification
Map. The Planning and
Development Department is directed to add the specific text changes to the
next revision of the Future Land Use Element. |
