Developers seek industrial zoning for St. Marks Pond parcel; PZA recommended approval with an abstention noted
The board agenda included companion applications, CPA(SS) 2025-03 and PUD 2025-02, proposing to change roughly 13.2 acres from Rural/Silviculture to Industrial and to rezone the parcel from Open Rural to Planned Unit Development to permit up to 136,500 square feet of industrial uses. The site is described as an unaddressed parcel fronting Saint Marks Pond Boulevard.

The Planning and Zoning Agency considered the applications July 17, 2025, and recommended approval with a 5–0 vote; the agenda notes Member Green was absent and Member Matovina abstained. The PZA recommendation is recorded in the agenda summary; the Aug. 19 transcript does not record a final board vote on the applications.

The agenda lists the request as a district 5 item and frames it as a companion to the rezoning to a PUD. The transcript does not include development-specific conditions or detailed traffic, environmental, or fiscal analysis within the agenda text. The agenda identifies the maximum industrial square footage sought as 136,500 square feet under the PUD application.

If the board moves forward, staff would present any development-order conditions or mitigation measures at a future vote; no such motion or vote is recorded for Aug. 19 in the provided materials.
