Six Land Use Petitions in Play

Six Land Use Petitions in Play

Editorial

The Local Planning Agency (LPA) has scheduled hearing on June 29 of six petitions for changes in land use. Four petitions ask for changing designated Conservation Land to Low Density Residential status. Two petitions ask for conversion of designated Low Density Residential to Conservation Land.

The requests for change from conservation to residential status involve more than ten acres, more than half of which is marshland or at least clearly not buildable. The petition regarding 3.43 acres of Henry Brown Estates concerns lots where houses have already been built, despite the designation as Conservation Land. The other three petitions involve 6.79 acres, nearly all of which appear to be marshland.

Two petitions before the LPA ask for change of designation from residential to conservation status. The City of Cedar Key is asking for 3.53 acres of land on Cemetery Point to be designated Conservation Land in preparation for that land to become a park. The Florida Nature Coast Conservancy is asking that a 4.8 acre property that is the Cedar Key Railroad Trestle Nature Trail be designated Conservation Land.

The June 29 LPA hearing may invoke citizen opposition to the requested changes in land use designation. The LPA has anticipated that the hearings may need to be adjourned if all six petitions can not be dealt with in one meeting. The June 29 LPA meeting may foretell the direction of land use in Cedar Key under the soon to be revised Land Development Regulations (LDR's). The LDR's will be based on the Cedar Key Comprehensive Plan which is in the final stages of revision. The LPA hearings in City Hall will start at 6:30 PM.
