explanation
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STAFF MEMORANDUM
The subject properties are located on Northwest 11th Place, Northwest 9th Boulevard, and Northwest 64th Terrace in the North Florida Regional Doctor's Office Park, near North Florida Regional Medical Center. The properties proposed for the land use change are approximately 6.08 acres in size and composed of six tax parcels. All the parcels were recently annexed into city limits.
The current Future Land Use category designation on these parcels is Alachua County Office/Medical. The existing zoning is Alachua County Administrative/Professional, see related Petition 169ZON-03PB. The petition proposal is to change the Future Land Use category to City of Gainesville Office.
The parcels to the north of the subject property have O (Office) land use designations consistent with the North Florida Regional Medical Center and other medical offices in the area. The parcels to the south, east, and west have a land use designation of Office (City) or Office/Medical (Alachua County). Most of the adjacent or abutting properties are already developed with medical office uses. Three of the annexed parcels are already developed. The remaining three are vacant.
The Plan Board heard the petition and recommended that it be approved.
Public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on December 30, 2003. Letters were mailed to surrounding property owners on December 31, 2003. The Plan Board held a public hearing January 15, 2004. Planning Division staff recommended that the Plan Board approve the petition. The Plan Board recommended that the City Commission approve Petition 169ZON-03 PB. Plan Board vote 5-0.
CITY ATTORNEY MEMORANDUM
