Between 32 to 44 New Residential Units Planned for 3.6 Acre Parcel Northeast of Buckeye Loop Road in Winter Haven

 Approximately 32 to 44 residential units could be constructed on a 3.6-acre parcel located northeast of Buckeye Loop Road in Winter Haven, now that the City Commission has approved the second reading of two ordinances amending that parcel’s zoning and land use designation.

 At their regular meeting on Tuesday evening, Winter Haven City Commissioners voted unanimously on two ordinances concerning the zoning and land use designation of a parcel of land that had previously been annexed into the city limits.

 The first ordinance amended the parcel’s future land use map designation from Neighborhood Support Future Land Use to Neighborhood Suburban Future Land Use. The second ordinance rezoned the same parcel from a Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning district to a Multi-Family Residential- Low Density (R-3) zoning district. Both ordinances were approved by city commissioners upon its second reading through a unanimous vote.

 

The parcel, which is approximately 3.68 acres, is located at the northeast corner of Buckeye Loop Road and Palm Nut Drive. According to the city memo, the parcel “was annexed into the City January 22, 2018, and was assigned the current designations April 25, 2022.”

 TBBP Holdings, LLC had petitioned the city for the amendment to the parcel’s zoning and future land use designation. TBBP Holding plans on developing the property with 32 multifamily residential units.

 However, according to the memo, “at the maximum density of 12 dwelling units per acre allowed by the R-3 zoning district, the theoretical maximum number of units is 44.”

 City staff had reviewed the petition, upon which they determined that “there is sufficient public infrastructure capacity to accommodate the proposed development, as well as the maximum theoretical development.”

 “Additionally, there is sufficient capacity to support the maximum theoretical demands under the requested designations,” the city staff memo wrote. “However, a final concurrency determination shall be made at the time the property receives site plan approval and is developed.”
