Just a reminder (in case you don't stay glued to my
Calendar of Upcoming Events) that tomorrow (
Monday Nov. 27) is the continuation of the
Zoning Commission's hearing on
Florida Rock's
2nd Stage PUD. It's available via
live webcast starting at 6:30 pm. There are also three more Near Southeast ZC hearings in the next few weeks and months: on
Dec. 7 is the zoning hearing for William C. Smith's
250 M Street office building, which could be interesting because the discussion at the July 10 ZC meeting about this project (starting on page 72 of
this transcript) showed the ZC members to be, one could say, somewhat skeptical of the building's initial design. Then, on
Jan. 11, Monument Realty will have its
Half Street office / hotel / residential development zoning hearing. Finally, on
Feb. 22, the Camden Development residential project at 1325 South Capitol Street will have its
Capitol Gateway Overlay Review. Interested members of the public should note that there are mechanisms built into the zoning hearing process for public comment, and if you feel strongly one way or another about a project, this is a time when you should make yourself heard. Visit the
Zoning Commission web site for additional details. (Of course, the time when I decide to highlight this public participation aspect of the zoning process is when only
one of these four pending ZC hearings actually has a Public Hearing Notice--containing the instructions for participating--posted on the
ZC calendar.)
