The Orange City Council on Tuesday will consider allowing Stan Floyd, owner of American Airboats on Lutcher Drive, to develop and alligator farm, RV park and tourist cabins in the future.
City Planning Director Kelvin Knauf in a memo said the city created a Mixed Use Zoning District for the properties north of Interstate 10 at Simmons Drive back in 1999. However, the city never set a development plan for the land.
Knauf said Floyd wants to put a billboard on his properties, but billboards are not specified in the zoning unless the city council adopts a plan.
Knauf said the plan could include the uses that Floyd would like to develop in the future.
Knauf said in the memo no public hearing is needed at the city council meeting on the zoning because a public hearing was held at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on May 31.
The council meets at 9 a.m. Tuesday in the council chambers next to the Orange Public Library.
