ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Ordinance #1825 Amending the Official Zoning Map - Gapway Commons Property Excerpt from Planning Commission Meeting = 05/06/2025 ANALYSIS: The City has received a request to amend the Official Zoning Map on the following property: Gapway Commons: Petitioner/ Owner: H Block, LLC Location: Adams Road and SR 559 Current Future Land Use: Lakes District Mixed Use (LDMU) Current City Zoning: Planned Develcpment-Commerca 1 (PD-C1) Proposed Zoning Classification: Village Center (VC) Current use: Vacant (+/- 11.41 acres) The City has received a request for an Official Zoning Map Amendment on approximately +/- 11.41 acres for Gapway Commons, formerly known as H Block. The property is located at Adams Road and CR-559. In June of 2021, the City approved a Planned DevelopmentCommerdal 1 (PD-C1) to allow for a self-storage facility. Allowed uses on the undeveloped property included retail; grocery, variety, drug store, hardware store (with alcohol); barber and beauty shops; laundry and dry cleaning; restaurants including drive thru (with alcohol); medical and dental clinics; professional business and offices; banks and financial institutions; dance, art, and music studios; and child care facilities. In 2022, the underlying Future Land Use was amended to Lakes District Mixed Use (LDMU), however the property retained the Planned Development Zoning classification of PD-C1. At the time the current Zoning classification of PD-C1 was approved, the Lakes District Village Center Zoning was not available. The applicant's request is to amend the Zoning classification from PD-C1 to Village Center, which would be consistent with the existing underlying Future Land Use of Lakes District Mixed Use (LDMU). The amendment would allow for uses consistent with the intent and goals of the established Lakes District Master Planned Community. The applicant proposes to design a mixed-use Village Center, as well as interconnections with existing pedestrian walkways and surrounding roadway networks. The Village Center Zoning classification allows for a variety of commercial and residential uses such as retail shops, personal services, sit down restaurants, and civic facilities that serve the needs of the surrounding neighborhoods. Village Centers have a base density of 6 dwelling units per acre which may be increased through the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) with at least one Green and/or Plaza. The proposed Official Zoning Map Amendment is compatible with existing Zoning classifications adjacent to the subject site. The requested Official Zoning Map Amendment is also consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations. The proposed Ordinance was prepared by the Community Development Department and reviewed by the City Manager and City Attorney. The proposed Ordinance was approved on first reading May 19, 2025, and is being presented for second and final reading. PLANNING COMMISION RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Official Zoning Map Amendment of the Gapway Commons Property. (6-0, May 6, 2025). STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of proposed Ordinance #1825 amending the Official Zoning Map = Gapway Commons Property.

PROPERTY INFORMATION ONLY X ACTION REQUESTED ISSUE: The City Commission will consider an Ordinance annexing property into the City limits. ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Ordinance #1826 Annexing Properties into City Limits = Berardi Property ANALYSIS: The City received a petition from Jacob Berardi of 5885 Transit Road, East Amherst, NY, to annex a parcel totaling +/-8.73 acres into the City limits. The property is located on Haire Lane along US Hwy 92 W, east of the Polk Parkway. The property is adjacent to City limits to the east and annexation of the parcel does not create an enclave.

The action currently before the City Commission is only on the annexation of the property into the City. The proposed Ordinance was prepared by the Community Development Department and reviewed by the City Manager and City Attorney. The proposed Ordinance was approved on first reading May 19, 2025, and is being presented for second and final reading.
