Recommended Action
The Planning & Zoning Advisory Board recommends that the City Commission approve REZ-23-137, Toledo Blade 320 RMF via ORD. NO. 2024-05.
General Information
On June 16, 2023, the Planning & Zoning Division received from Kenrick Gallander, an agent for the property owner Deluxeton North Port LLC, a Rezone (REZ) petition to rezone a ? 262.34-acre property generally located east of Toledo Blade Boulevard and north of I-75 (PID 1091-00-1000) from No Zoning Designation (NZD) to Residential Multi-Family.
