The Mayor & Aldermen approved this request at the January 31, 2019 City Council Regular Meeting.  The action being considered now is the approval of an ordinance for the amendment to the text of the Zoning Ordinance for a new article for the Cohen's Retreat PUD Zoning District.

Joshua Yellin, as agent for HTIMS, LLC, is requesting to amend the Zoning Ordinance by creating the Cohen's Retreat Planned Unit Development (Cohen’s Retreat PUD) Zoning District (File No. 18-005942-ZA) and to rezone 5715 Skidaway Rd from the PUD-IS (Planned Unit Development – Institutional) Zoning District to the Cohen’s Retreat PUD Zoning District (File No. 19-000354-ZA).  The subject property, 5715 Skidaway Road, is located on the west side of Skidaway Road between Bona Bella Ave. and Bacon Park Dr.  The Cohen’s Retreat PUD District is intended to master plan and to provide comprehensive standards for commercial, civic, residential and mixed-use purposes located at 5715 Skidaway Road (PIN 2-0141-05-005).

This (File No. 18-005942-ZA) is the first of two related Agenda Items.  The second Agenda Item is the rezoning of 5715 Skidaway Road to the Cohen's Retreat PUD (File No. 19-000354-ZA).
