Background
The applicant is requests to rezone 7.93 acres at 930 Howland Boulevard from C-1 to MPUD for a two-phase development: a self storage facility with office space on Lot 1 and future commercial development on Lot 2. The MPUD allows a range of commercial uses while prohibiting discount retail, large format stores, car washes, and certain automotive uses.
The project includes landscaping, buffers, pedestrian connections, and stormwater management. A Traffic Impact Analysis shows acceptable levels of service on Howland Boulevard. The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets LDC standards.
The City Commission voted 4-3 to approve first reading. The applicant agreed to prohibit residential uses, and staff will review cross-access during site plan/engineering. The Planning and Zoning Board had previously recommended denial due to compatibility and traffic concerns. Staff recommends the City Commission conduct a public hearing on Ordinance No. 32-2025.
