Second Reading: Rezoning for 12.54-acre Beulah Commerce Center

Commissioners will discuss the first reading of Ordinance 17-16, which seeks to rezone approximately 12.54 acres at 1318 and 1342 Green Forest Road — near the northeast corner of Beulah and Stagg roads — from arterial commercial district (C-2) to PCD. The applicant seeks to bind these two lots and build five various-sized buildings in two phases to create the Beulah Commerce Center. The property is currently vacant land. According to city documents, the applicant proposes to use the first two buildings as flex-space units which will house more commercial-oriented uses. The third building would be dedicated to Prevost Bus Operations, and the last two buildings would serve as proposed covered storage for Boat, RV and Auto Storage of West Orange.

Second Reading: Ban on Medical Marijuana Retail Dispensaries 

City leaders will vote on the second reading of an ordinance that aims to ban Marijuana Treatment Center Dispensing Facilities from being located within city limits. The ordinance includes a provision that states if the state statute is amended to eliminate the restrictions placed on municipal governments regarding the regulations of proposed dispensaries, the city will instate an automatic one-year moratorium on the acceptance of Marijuana Treatment Center Dispensing Facilities in order to give city staff time to evaluate the changes in the state law and how it affects their ability to regulate dispensaries. The one-year moratorium might also be terminated early via a city resolution or ordinance.

Second Reading: Rezoning for proposal of 3-acre residential development

Tonight, city leaders will vote on the second reading of an ordinance that seeks to rezone 3.07 acres of land to allow the development of 11 single-family homes. The land is located bear the West Orange Trail at the northeast corner of Plant Street and Brayton Road. The proposed residential development, named Garden West, will have a common recreation area, perimeter landscaping and a connection to the West Orange Trail.
