Residents have contacted me noting that Mayor Leary's opponent is claiming the Ravaudage project at the corner of Lee Road and State Road 17/92 represents the future of Winter Park under present leadership. The facts strongly refute such a claim. The history with links to the source documents is detailed below.
Last year, your city commission unanimously changed our Comprehensive Plan to remove the possibility for rezoning land for high density residential use (greater than 17 units per acre) (see page 1). We did this exactly to discourage proposals for large apartment buildings such as that under construction in Ravaudage. We also agreed to remove Planned Development zoning from the Comprehensive Plan and to create yet to be defined Mixed Use zoning (think Hannibal Square). So then, what's up at Ravaudage?
Best Regards, Pete Weldon
Winter Park Vice Mayor
