P&Z Minutes 4.16.2026 - Approved by Board at 6.18 P&Z
[Turnpike Feeder Road near Palomar and Pandora] Pitstop Mini Market received a Conditional Use Permit for packaged alcohol sales. The permit allows for off-site consumption of beer and wine at a 4,481-square-foot suite. The applicant, William Fagan, has operated a neighboring store for 13 years without code violations. A neighborhood meeting on March 27th showed strong support for the request. The permit was approved with seven conditions, including compliance with alcohol sale hours, employee training, and signage. [West of North Rock Road near Orange Avenue] Project Orchid, a targeted industry proposal, involves a Future Land Use Map Amendment for 20.85 acres, a rezoning of 20.25 acres from Industrial Light to Industrial Heavy, and a Conditional Use Permit for a 76,200-square-foot aluminum foundry. The overall project proposes approximately 1.4 million square feet of high-technology manufacturing space for impact glass, windows, doors, and related construction products, with an estimated workforce of up to 1,000 employees. The site is located west of North Rock Road near Orange Avenue. The project was recommended for approval with conditions related to air quality, odor control, lighting, and buffering. Public comments were not stated, but staff noted two responses in favor and no written objections during public noticing, with some concerns addressed through design. [11000 Okeechobee Road] The 11000 Okeechobee Road PUD rezoning request for a 96.32-acre site from AG-2.5 (Agricultural-2.5) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) and a preliminary site plan for 96 single-family homes was denied. The site is located along Okeechobee Road. Staff recommended approval with conditions including enhanced buffering, concentrating smaller lots centrally, school bus routing, gated access, and right-of-way dedications. Public comments opposed the project, citing conflict with the Comprehensive Plan, rural agricultural character, and potential for urban sprawl. Commissioners expressed concerns about lot size compatibility with the surrounding rural estate pattern, traffic safety, and development outside the Urban Services Boundary. The denial was based on concerns related to traffic safety, quality of life, and maintaining rural character. [322 & 340 Kitterman Rd] The 322 & 340 Kitterman Rd PUD rezoning from RM-5 and RM-9 to Planned Unit Development (PUD) and preliminary site plan for 117 townhome units was denied. The 19.65-acre site is located on Kitterman Road within the Urban Services Boundary. Staff recommended approval with conditions related to landscaping, wetland protection, and site development. The applicant agreed to all conditions. Concerns were raised regarding cumulative traffic impacts on Kitterman Road, especially near a school and existing congestion. The denial was based on traffic conditions and the appropriateness of the current zoning.
