Virtual Community Meeting: Future Land Use Map Amendment For Up To 382 Unit Apartment

The proposal is to change the Future Land Use Map designation of the subject property from Commercial(C) to Growth Center-Planned Development-Medium Density Residential (GC-PD-MDR) to allow for the development of up to 382 multi-family dwelling units.

Future Land Use Map designations indicate the general use or “vision” for a property, and regulate the types of activity or development that may ultimately be allowed on it, including maximum allowable residential and non-residential development. Future Land Use Map designations are adopted as part of the County’s Comprehensive Plan, with oversight by the State. Zoning districts are more descriptive planning classifications,but must be consistent with Future Land Use Map designations. Zoning categories regulate more specific development aspects, such as allowed uses, building sizes, setbacks, or parking.

The County’s adopted 2010-2030 Future Land Use Map depicts the 57.60-acre subject property, located within the U.S.192 Growth Center, as Commercial (C). The undeveloped site is zoned PD (Planned Development District) and is identified as Parcel C on the existing Liki Tiki Village IIIPD/LUP, f/k/a the Cassis Development PD/LUP. Parcel C is currently entitled for the development of up to 500 hotel units.

If approved, the requested Growth Center-Planned Development-Medium Density Residential (GC-PD-MDR) Future Land Use Map designation will allow for the development of a multi-family residential development at a maximum density of twenty (20) dwelling units per net acre. The applicant is requesting to develop up to 382 multi-family dwelling units.
