Summary
This ordinance rezones approximately 6.82 acres at 11153 Beach Boulevard from RLD-60 and CCG-2 to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) district. The PUD allows for the expansion of existing commercial development, including new retail storefronts and warehouse/storage space, and permits a standalone 23,800 sq ft building for commercial use. A key aspect of this rezoning is the allowance for butchering and live animal processing within a portion of the property, intended to support an existing international grocery store. The PUD also includes specific deviations from standard zoning codes, such as reduced setbacks, flexible parking requirements, and modified landscaping. Initially, the proposal allowed for live animal processing with specific limits on animal numbers and processing capacity. However, an amendment introduced a condition limiting meat processing to 10,000 square feet on the property, overriding the original Written Description and Site Plan. The rezoning is contingent on the adoption of a companion Small-Scale Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
Residents in the vicinity may experience increased commercial activity and potential noise or odor from the butchering and live animal processing operations, despite limitations. The rezoning also allows for expansion of commercial services and retail options in the area.
