BACKGROUND The property located at approximately 2951-2999 SW 22nd Terrace has a covenant against it that requires a series of development limitations. The property was never developed in the manner set forth in the covenant. The attached request is to release the covenant approved and modified in 1988 in order to replace it with a covenant that will allow the property to be redeveloped according to a specific concept plan, which will be attached to the new covenant. The Planning and Zoning Department has no objections to the requested release due to the fact that the new covenant has a concept plan attached which guarantees low-rise residential frontage along SW 22nd Terrace; the Department however, would like to add an additional condition to the language of the covenant which requires the Planning Director to approve any minor deviations to the concept plan, only in the event that the final plans do not require a Major Use Special Permit.
