Ordinance No. 0-00-02; Petition No. 99CPA-99PB
An ordinance of the City of Gainesville, Florida, amending the City of Gainesville 1991-2001 Comprehensive Plan; amending policy 2.4.8 of the Future Land Use Element relating to the College Park Neighborhood south of NW 5th Avenue; clarifying that the intensity of development shall be regulated by building height and build-to (setback) requirements instead of Floor Area Ratio; providing directions to the City Manager; providing directions to the codifier; providing a severability clause; providing a repealing clause; and providing an effective date.
recommendation
The City Commission: 1) receive the preliminary review of the Department of Community Affairs; and 2) adopt the proposed ordinance.
explanation
The above-referenced ordinance has been prepared pursuant to City Commission action requesting the City Attorney's Office to prepare the appropriate ordinance amending the City of Gainesville 1991-2001 Comprehensive Plan.
Florida Statutes set forth the procedure for adoption of an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. The second hearing will be held at the adoption stage of the ordinance and must be advertised approximately five (5) days after the day that the second advertisement is published.
The State of Florida Department of Community Affairs issued a letter dated June 9, 2000, stating that this amendment need not be formally reviewed for consistency with Chapter 163, F.S. The Department also waived preparing an Objections, Recommendations and Comments Report. A copy of their letter is attached to this memorandum. Therefore, the City may now proceed with the final adoption of this ordinance.
The Plan amendment will not become effective until the State Department of Community Affairs issues a final order determining the adopted amendment to be in compliance in accordance with the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, or until the Administration Commission (Governor and Cabinet) issues a final order determining the adopted amendment to be in compliance.
