Recommendation
Motion to Approve Ordinance No. 03-16 on second reading and quasi-judicial hearing for the rezoning of the property located at 2455 Old Dixie Highway from AC to GC.
Body
Background:
The item before the City Commission is to consider rezoning the property located at 2455 Old Dixie Highway from AC (Automotive Commercial) to GC (General Commercial).
The property is located on the east side of Old Dixie Highway, approximately 0.25 miles south of Gulfstream Boulevard and just north of NE 22nd Lane. The 0.78 acre lot is located within the North Federal Highway Overlay District and contains a one-story, two tenant building constructed in 2003.
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 December 21, 2015.
The property has a new owner who wishes to rezone the property back to GC for the purpose of establishing a boxing facility (gym) within one of the two tenant spaces within the building.
