FROM: ERICA MAROHNIC, DIRECTOR, PLANNING SERVICES
MEETING DATE: AUGUST 19, 2025
SUBJECT: RECEIVE A REPORT, HOLD A DISCUSSION AND PROVIDE STAFF
DIRECTION REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO MAP 2: LAND USE
PLAN OF THE COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN (FUTURE LAND
USE MAP) IN THE TRANSIT DISTRICT ASSESSMENT AREA AND
TO SECTION 41.13, TRANSIT DISTRICT OVERLAY OF THE ZONING
ORDINANCE.
BACKGROUND:
The Commission's Comprehensive Master Plan Subcommittee met on August 7, 2025, to
discuss potential amendments within the 13t" assessment or Transit District for Map 2: Land
Use Plan, also know as the future land use map (FLUM). During the discussion and
direction, the following topics were covered:
1. Make the Transit District Overlay mandatory for all development and
redevelopment activities within its boundaries. This can be achieved by prohibiting
the use of a Planned Development (PD) overlay within the Transit District, as
developers can only utilize the Transit District overlay to deviate from the base
zoning.
2. Amend Section 41.13, Transit District Overlay of the Zoning Ordinance to establish
the Transit District as a legitimate overlay tool. The primary land use will be
determined by the base zoning district, while the overlay can modify uses, design
standards, density, and other relevant factors.
3. Better define intensity subdistricts by amending Section 41.13, Transit District
Overlay. Instead of trying to define each intensity subdistrict, create a comprehensive
list of appropriate uses for each one.
4. Amend the boundaries of the Transit District as follows-
- Remove 1109 Airline Drive.
- Remove 113, 131, and 351 E. Hudgins Street.
- Remove 827 Dawn Lane and 849 E. Dallas Drive.
- Remove the Sunshine Harbor subdivision as "future" development.
