Summary
This ordinance rezones approximately 18.27 acres at 903 University Boulevard North (NE corner of University Blvd N & Arlington Expy) from a Planned Unit Development (PUD) district (2021-196-E) to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) district. The rezoning allows for a major modification to the College Park PUD, permitting a mix of commercial, residential, and office uses. The project, owned by 903 University BLVD, LLC, is described in the College Park PUD Major Modification documents. The rezoning is consistent with the 2045 Comprehensive Plan and aims to revitalize the area by redeveloping a dated commercial strip-mall into a vibrant mixed-use project. The modification includes provisions for up to 110 hotel rooms or dwelling units and a maximum of 230,000 SF of non-residential floor area. The development is planned to occur within five years and be completed within ten years of final approval.
Key Aspects of the College Park PUD Major Modification:
- Uses: Permitted uses include commercial retail, hotels/motels, professional offices, restaurants with outside alcohol sales, and multi-family residential units.
- Development Standards: Allows for flexibility in site design, including deviations from standard zoning code requirements for building setbacks, outside alcohol sales, and the use of shipping containers for a food court.
- Height: Maximum height for mixed-use buildings is 45 feet, with potential for unlimited height for single-use structures if yards are increased.
- Open Space: Approximately 53,800 SF dedicated to recreation/open space, including pedestrian/bicycle paths and two private parks.
- Vehicular Access: Maintains existing access points on University Blvd N and Arlington Expressway Service Road, with potential modifications per FDOT standards.
