Title
Amend a Planned Development to Establish a Phasing Schedule for Removal and Replacement of Mobile Home, with Manufactured Stick Built Homes (Quasi-Judicial) (B)
Petition 52PDA-07 PB. City of Gainesville. Amend Ordinance Number 050911, a Panned Development, commonly known as "Buck Bay Planned Development" to establish a phasing schedule for the removal and replacement of mobile homes, with manufactured or stick built homes located in the vicinity of the 7700 block of Northwest 22nd Avenue. (Quasi-Judicial)
Explanation
On February 12, 2007, the City Commission approved a motion to initiate amendments to the Buck Bay Planned Development Ordinance to reflect what was originally represented to the Plan Board and the City Commission (to allow stick built homes and to still allow mobile homes). The minutes of March 16, 2006 indicated that Mr. Spain, the Agent for Buck Bay property owners told the Plan Board that mobile homes would be replaced gradually, as the current residents in the mobile homes moved out, and that site built modular homes would be constructed to replace them. Mr. Spain explained that Chapter 723 allowed the property owner to give a six-month notice and vacate the mobile home park, and that it was not his, or the other property owner's intent to remove the existing mobile homes, but to slowly renovate the park as mobile home owners moved out. The park is no longer owned by Mr. Spain and the group he represented. The park was sold to EDIX investment, the current owner of the park.
The proposed Planned Development amendment would add Condition 9 to state: "Site built and modular homes shall be phased into the Buck Bay park with the first phase being the development of all currently vacant lots, and the remaining phase being the development of lots as mobile home owners and lessee voluntarily move out of the park, or fail to meet the requirements of their lease agreement."
The Plan Board reviewed the petition and recommends approval of the petition. The Plan Board also wanted the City Commission to consider: 1) whether the $3000 assistance could be used outside of City limits; 2) whether September 2008 should be placed in the Planned Development Ordinance to ensure a timeframe for when current residents would have to move; and 3) whether there is a legal way to rescind the original amended PD 050911 that was passed on March 16, 2006.
Public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on July 3, 2007. Letters were mailed to surrounding property owners on July 3, 2007. The Plan Board held a public hearing July 19, 2007.
