Proposed Zoning: Lady Lake Planned Commercial (CP) — This district is established to implement comprehensive plan policies for encouraging affordable housing by allowing a variety of housing types with a broad range of housing costs. This district is designed to encourage innovative development concepts to provide design amenities and to manage natural features of the land. The location of such PUDs will be dictated by the type of development that will be provided. (Residential PUDs will be located in residentially designated areas of the Future Land Use Map of the comprehensive plan, commercial PUDs will be located in commercially designated areas of the Future Land Use Map, etc.) Densities and intensities cannot exceed those which are permitted in that area on the Future Land Use Map.
