This rezoning request is contingent upon successful annexation of Lee County tax parcels 9631-44-1034-00 and 9631-34-9072-00 into the corporate City limits for which the public hearing will also be held on Sept. 15th. When a property goes from the jurisdiction of Lee County to the jurisdiction of the City of Sanford, the City has 60 days to assign a zoning district to it; therefore, the applicant has submitted a rezoning request for these two tracts of land and the one larger tract of land that is already in the corporate City limits with the intention of recombining all three lots into one tract of land and developing the site as a multi-family apartment community.
