City Commission Reviews Land Use and Rezoning for Bonaventure Golf Course Property

The City Commission held a quasi-judicial hearing to consider a land use plan amendment and a rezoning application. The land use plan amendment proposes to change the designation for 13.36 gross acres from irregular residential 5 to irregular residential 28.44, potentially allowing for 379 residential units. The rezoning application pertains to a 5.72-acre parcel, seeking to change its zoning from GC (golf course) to MF3 (multifamily residential). The applicant, Manny Sinolovsky, represents the applications and has agreed to waive the quasi-judicial hearing, but an objection was raised, necessitating the full hearing. The proposed developments include an independent living facility (ILF) on one parcel and condominiums on the other, with both intended to be age-restricted to 55 and older. Concerns were raised by residents regarding increased density, traffic, impact on quality of life, and the potential for age restrictions to be lifted. The Commission deliberated on these points and the presented evidence.
