Recommendation
Motion to Approve Ordinance No. 10-16 on Second Reading, for the Annexation, Future Land Use Map Amendment (Small-Scale) from County MR-5 (Medium Density 5-units per acre) to City LD (Low Density Residential 0-5 du/ac) and initial City Zoning of R-1-AAA (Single Family Residential) for 14461 Barwick Road.
Body
Background:
The item before the City Commission is to consider the Annexation, Future Land Use Map Amendment from County MR-5 (Medium Density Residential 5-units per acre) to City LD (Low Density Residential 0-5 du/ac) and initial City Zoning of R-1-AAA (Single Family Residential) for the property located at 14461 Barwick Road.
The subject property measures 0.88 acres and is located on the west side of Barwick Road, approximately 132 feet north of the LWDD L-31 Canal. It is bounded to the north and south by single family residences located within the City of Delray Beach. To the west is a five acre tract which contains a single family residence and to the east is the Sabal Lakes subdivision. The subject property consists of one parcel which contains a 1,900 sq. ft. single family residential structure.
The subject property is in a designated annexation area for the City of Delray Beach, Annexation Area “E” (the North Military Trail Area, north of Lake Ida Road), as noted in the Future Land Use Element Policy B-3.5 of the Comprehensive Plan. The City has an advisory land use designation of LD (Low Density Residential 0-5 du/ac) that allows for residential development with a density between zero and five units per acre. The property owner has petitioned the City of Delray Beach for voluntary annexation. In conjunction with the annexation, a water service agreement was approved on February 10, 2016, to allow the property owner to immediately connect to City water services due to a failing well system.
The complete zoning history of the property and analysis of the request is provided in the attached Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report from the meeting of March 21, 2016.
