Original Zoning: Prior to adoption of the City of Tallahassee Zoning, Site Plan and Subdivision Regulations in 1992, several of the parcels were zoned R-1 Single Family Residential District, which allowed for single-family, parks and playgrounds, churches and schools, along with golf courses and country clubs.
January 13, 1988: The City of Tallahassee approved Ordinances 87-Z-0221AA through 87-Z-0225AA which changed the zoning from R-1 to multiple zoning classifications, a number of which included Limited Use Site Plan conditions.
April 10, 2000: The City Commission approved the Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare New Facility Development Agreement.
May 23, 2001: The City Commission approved the Southeast Community Medical Campus PUD.
April 2007: The City of Tallahassee changed the future land use from Mixed Use B to Suburban pursuant to the adoption of the revised Tallahassee-Leon County Comprehensive Plan due to Comprehensive Plan Reform.
November 10, 2008: The Development Review Committee voted 4-0 to continue the PUD application to December 22, 2008.
December 22, 2008: The Development Review Committee voted 4-0 to continue the PUD application to January 12, 2009.

Summary of Application
This application is to amend the Southeast Community Medical Campus PUD Concept Plan by eliminating the land use buffers along the eastern and northeastern property boundaries because incompatible uses no longer exist, and to reduce the area of the PUD from 31.98 acres to 30.99 acres. Pursuant to Section 10-9 of the Tallahassee Land Development Code, the application asks for release from the conditions of the Limited Use Site Plans approved by the City Commission on January 13, 1988. Approval of the Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare New Facility Development Agreement rescinded conditions of the Limited Use Site Plans; however, the City Attorney has determined that proper notice for the release was not provided.
