The attached Ordinance amends the following policies in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan:

2. Comprehensive Plan Policy RLU 1.1.9 (Medium Intensity Commercial CD-2) to increase the maximum intensity to 2.6 in the Alton Road Gateway Area.
The comprehensive plan amendment is a companion to the proposed LDR Ordinance, which includes an increase in the maximum FAR for sites located within the Alton Road Gateway area from the current 2.0 to 2.6. The proposed increase in maximum FAR is subject to voter approval in a city-wide referendum.

Under Section 163.3184(2), Florida Statutes, this amendment shall follow the expedited state review process for adoption of comprehensive plan amendments. This process requires a public hearing by the local planning agency (Planning Board), a public transmittal hearing before the City Commission, after which the amendment must be transmitted to several state agencies for a 30-day review period, and a final adoption public hearing before the City Commission. The amendment is effective 31-days after it is adopted if there are no appeals.
