Welaunee

A zoning change involving about ten acres is proposed along Thomasville Rd. between Kerry Forest Parkway and Velda Dairy Rd.

The 894-acre property is located north of U.S. 90 and east of Interstate-10

Dozier has been the commissioner representing the county's District 5 from east Tallahassee to the Jefferson County line since 2010.

The Intergovernmental agency, Blueprint 2000 is moving forward with plans to grow Tallahassee’s urban services area by another 28-hundred acres. The move puts more of the Welaunee Plantation within city services.

A pivotal vote set for tomorrow, critics say, could lead to further development in the northeast part of Tallahassee.

Today, cars circled city hall, honking in protest against an amendment that could clear the way for more development of the Welaunee Plantation. County commissioners voted to go forward with a virtual public hearing on the amendment despite an earlier decision to hold off. People can submit public comments, but they will not face the commissioners in person. That's caused some, like Brian Lupiani, to join the protest. He says the city should not host the meeting and that officials should take care of Tallahassee's south side before adding more territory to its boundaries.

The Leon County and City of Tallahassee Commissions appear poised to approve changes to a plan that clears the way for the development of an additional 2,800 acres of the Welaunee Plantation in northeast Tallahassee
