The applicant, Lykes Bros., Inc., requests a text amendment to the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan to amend Policy A.2.87 of the Site-Specific Development Conditions, as previously adopted by CPA-10-511LS, to remove expired phasing schedules and update provisions based on changes in State statutes and market conditions. The parcels will retain the Mixed Use Future Land Use designation. The property is twelve parcels totaling approximately 2,182 acres, located along U.S. 27 and CR 17, approximately 0.25 miles north of Davis Gaines Road and 0.5 miles south of Tauchens Road. The staff recommendation is to approve and transmit to FloridaCommerce for expedited state review. The P&Z Commission recommended approval by a 7-0 vote. Public comment included Zach Franco of Archbold Biological Station speaking in consideration of Florida wildlife corridor conservation, and Ray Royce speaking in favor of the request. The existing FLUM designation is Mixed Use (MU), and the existing zoning is AU Agricultural District.
