Summary:
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the approved PD-I plan by requesting to rezone one property located at 2351 NE 16 Street from RD-1 (Two Family Residence) zoning to PD-I (Planned Development Infill). This rezoning would expand the existing Hidden Harbour PD-I zoning district.
The majority of the Property was rezoned in early 2020 to PD-I. The approved planned development consists of three major components: (1) a marina/boat yard/boat storage use east of NE 23 Avenue; (2) mixed use development along Federal Highway and NE 16 Street and (3) a valet parking lot and private green space north of NE 16 Street.
The Hidden Harbour PD is 7.19 net acres and is located generally on NE 16 Street, east of Federal Highway. The Mixed-Use Component of the PD is 2.78 acres
Findings of Fact. Development Services Department Staff submits the following factual information which is relevant to this Rezoning Application:
1. City staff and its planning consultant reviewed the DRC submittal for this rezoning. A DRC meeting was scheduled on November 3, 2021, and comments were provided to the applicant. A DRC meeting was held to discuss comments, which were incorporated into this application.
2. The property is platted on three plats: Sea Barge Yacht Center (Plat Book 38 Page 27), recorded in 1959 Jericho Boats Enterprises (Plat Book 146, Page 3), recorded in 1990 and Caliban (Plat Book 27, Page 12) recorded in 1978.
3. The site is 7.19 net acres and the mixed-use component of the PD is 2.78 acres.
4. The Zoning and uses of adjacent properties are:

7. The Land Use Designation for the proposed expansion area is LM- Low- Medium 5-10 Dwelling units/acre. The existing zoning district is RD-1. The current PD-I proposal request is to expand the existing PD-I to construct a 3-story parking garage with Roof top parking.
8. Site History: The majority of the Property was most recently rezoned in early 2020 to a PD-I zoning district through Ordinance 2020-26. The approval consisted of three major components (1) a marina/boat yard/ boat storage use east of NE 23 Avenue, (2) mixed use development along Federal Highway and NE 16 Street; and (3) a valet parking lot and private green space north of NE 16 Street.
Prior to the rezoning in 2020, the property was rezoned in 2009 through Ordinance 2009-29 which established a Planned Commercial /Industrial (PCD) overlay district. The ordinance approved a revised master plan for the development. The master plan included a marina component which was constructed along with planned retail uses along N Federal Highway. In 2019, Ordinance 2019-12 amended the land use to MUR-H (Mixed Use Residential High) which included a Declaration of Restrictive covenants which the proposed development meets. In 2013, the City created a Transformation Plan for its major corridors including Federal Highway. As part of this development, the City envisions mixed use developments along this corridor to revitalize the roadway and to promote future enhanced transit.
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT REVIEW STANDARDS
Review of and the decision on a Planned Development application shall be based on compliance of the proposed zoning reclassification and the PD Plan with the review standards in Section 155.2402.C, Site-Specific Zoning Map Amendment Review Standards and the standards for the proposed type of PD district in Part 6 (Planned Development Zoning Districts) of Article 3: Zoning Districts.
§155.2404.C. Site-Specific Zoning Map Amendment Review Standards
Site-specific amendments to the Official Zoning Map (Rezoning) are a matter subject to quasi-judicial review by the City Commission and constitute the implementation of the general land use policies established in this Code and the comprehensive plan. In determining whether to adopt or deny a proposed Site-Specific Zoning Map Amendment, the city shall find that:
1. The applicant has provided, as part of the record of the public hearing on the application, competent substantial evidence that the proposed amendment:
a. Is consistent with the Future Land Use Category and any applicable goals, objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan and all other applicable city-adopted plans;
Staff Analysis: The rezoning is consistent with the following Goals, Objectives & Policies (GOPs) in the Future Land Use Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
01.00.00 The attainment of a living environment which provides the maximum physical, economic and social well-being for the City and its residents through the thoughtful and planned use and control of the natural and man-made environments that discourages urban sprawl, is energy efficient and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
01.04.01 Support and promote the intermix of residential and commercial uses along major traffic corridors.
01.04.01 The Planning Department shall support and promote the intermix of residential and commercial uses along major traffic corridors, where mass transit is available, through the allocation of flex and reserve units and approval of land use plan map amendments allowing for residential developments.
01.03.11 Consider the compatibility of adjacent land uses in all Land Use Plan amendments and rezonings.
01.03.05 All Land Use Plan Map amendments and rezonings shall provide for the orderly transition of varying residential land use designations.
01.03.12 The following criteria may be used in evaluating rezoning requests:
1. Density;
2. Design;
3. Distance to similar development;
4. Existing adjoining uses;
5. Proposed adjoining uses;
6. Readiness for redevelopment of surrounding uses; and.
