Land use changes top Cape Council agenda
Three ordinance amendment hearings await City Council decisions at Monday’s regular meeting.
Two of the ordinance change requests are linked by common ownership by the Church of the Epiphany which seeks a change to the future land use map designations.
One property is at 1609 S.E. 26th Street, a standard 10,000 square-foot parcel that has been designated public facilities since 2007 with a worship zoning in place since 2004. The church requests rezoning to pedestrian/commercial that helps the city meet the need for additional commercial land.
The second property is a 30,000 square-foot parcel located at 1603 and 1609 SE?26th Street, a corner lot at the intersection of SE 26th Street and Del Prado Boulevard across from St. Andrew’s Catholic Church. It is requesting a change from professional and worship zoning to pedestrian commercial to promote future commercial development near a major commercial corridor. Two single family homes occupy the site, built in 1978 and 1981.
The third ordinance change request concerns amending regulations for neighborhood storage facilities in the pedestrian commercial and corridor districts.
Planning and Zoning and staff recommend approval in all three cases.
Other discussions on Monday’s agenda include a recommendation by the City Audit Committee regarding the Charter School Governing Board.
Consent agenda items include purchase of lots to expand Lake Meade Park, adoption of the city’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and approval of the design concept for the Streetscape Improvement Project on Southeast 47th Terrace.
Also, council will consider candidates for two vacancies on the Charter School Governing Board.
