Small Scale Map Amendment: This is a request to change the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation for approximately 3.96 acres for parcels located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Tennessee Street and Dewey Street from University Transition (UT) to Central Core (CC).

The University Transition FLUM designation allows for a mix of uses, including smaller scale retail and commercial uses, entertainment commercial uses, offices, and residential housing up to 150 dwelling units per acre.

The proposed Central Core land use category is intended to promote a mix of uses and higher densities and intensities with quality development, emphasizing pedestrian, bike, and transit modes of transportation. Residential development is permitted up to 10 dwelling units per acre in the requested FLUM designation.

A concurrent rezoning application is being processed with this proposed amendment to implement the future land use map (FLUM) change, if approved.

The applicant will be required to meet the submittal requirements of the Tallahassee Land Development Code and Urban Review requirements.

The four additional parcels in the expansion area are being proposed as a rezoning from University Transition (UT) to Central Core (CC) [parcels 2136500576815, 2136500576810, 2136500576796, 2136500576795].
