Summary

On May 19, 2021, applicant Linden Street Development, LLC filed an application on behalf of J. T. Beahan IV to rezone property being approximately 27.82 acres in the Town of Lady Lake. The request is to change the property from Lady Lake Manufactured Home High Density (MH-9) and Lady Lake Heavy Commercial (HC) Lady Lake Planned Commercial (CP).

On November 16, 2020, Gelcorp Industries came before the Town seeking approval to rezone property being approximately 27.82 acres; located approximately 1.5 miles south of Highway 466 and 850 linear feet north of Hartsock Sawmill Road, identified by Alternate Key 1771421.

On July 19, 2021, Scott Miller with Gelcorp came before the Town Commission Conceptual Workshop proposing the construction of the Luxury Condo Garages/Personal Storage at another 26-acre parcel along Hwy 466. After receiving feedback from the Town Commission, the applicant redesigned the proposal for apartments only.

The subject property proposes only the following uses: Garage Condominiums, Motor Vehicle and Boat Storage, and Multi-family Apartments.

However, at this time, the applicant is interested in submitting at site plan for a 330-unit luxury apartment complex.

The proposed Memorandum of Agreement Ordinance 2021-10 states that maximum building height for apartments is 45 feet and shall not exceed three stories. Setbacks will be established at 40 feet along Hwy 27/441 and 20 feet along all other property boundaries. The Project shall be served by the Town's central water and sewer systems, and the Property Owner shall be responsible for the cost of all off-site and on-site installation of water and sewer, as well any other infrastructure improvements necessitated by the impact of the project.

The subject properties lie in Section 28, Township 18 South, Range 24 East, in Lake County, Florida. Appropriate legal descriptions, a location map, and a sketch of the property have been included with the submitted application.

The rezoning application has been reviewed and determined to be complete, satisfying the necessary criteria as required for rezoning. The application was found to meet the requirements of the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) as well as the adopted Comprehensive Plan and is ready for transmittal to the Town Commission.
