COMMUNITY RESIDENTIAL (CR) DISTRICT ZONING CODE
Over the past few months, our Village has been actively engaging with the community to shape the future of residential development through a proposed Community Residential (CR) District zoning code. Through workshops, public input meetings, and ongoing dialogue, your voices have been integral in creating a vision for and allowing residents to share their thoughts on the draft CR District standards. Input was collected through verbal feedback, surveys, comment cards, and emails. Key principles gathered from feedback were grouped into three focus areas: 1. Process – Streamlined and transparent procedures. 2. Character – Maintaining the unique identity and charm of the Village. 3. Infrastructure – Ensuring development aligns with infrastructure capacity and sustainability. These ideas formed the foundation for the Planning and Zoning Board’s discussion at their special called meeting on November 18th. The meeting was well-attended, with more than 85 residents voicing their opinions. Representatives from Barry University and Lennar Homes presented a conceptual plan with draft zoning standards for development on the 23.5-acre Barry University site. If you missed it, the session was streamed live and is available for viewing on the Village website. The Planning and Zoning Board had a robust and collaborative discussion and made recommendations related to: • Plot standards and building configurations • Architectural design and expressions • Setbacks and parking requirements • Townhome clustering and layout Village staff will incorporate the feedback into a refined draft CR District zoning code, which will be presented at the December 19 Planning and Zoning Board Meeting. Your Voice Matters! This is your Village, and your input is essential. Please visit the Village website https://www.msvfl.gov/CRZoningDistrict to: • Watch the recorded meeting. • Review the public input summary report. • Share your thoughts through online prompts. Together, we can ensure that the CR District reflects our community's values and aspirations. Thank you for staying involved and helping shape the future of our Village!
