Title

Rezone property MH to RSF-4 (B)

Petition PB-10-85 ZON.  Tom Spain, agent for Villas at 39th, LLC and property owners of record.  Rezone property from MH (12 units/acre mobile home residential district) to RSF-4 (8 units/acre single-family residential district).  Located west of Northeast 2^nd Street, north of Northeast 35^th Avenue, and east of the CSX railroad ROW in the 3500-3700 block of Northeast 1^st Terrace, Northeast 1^st Way, and North Main Terrace.

Explanation

This is a quasi-judicial item.

This petition request is to rezone 100 mobile home condominium parcels from MH (12 units/acre mobile home residential district) to RSF-4 (8 units/acre single-family residential district) in a development known as Villas at 39th.  Prior to becoming Villas at 39^th, this was Varsity Mobile Home Villas mobile home park.  The combined parcels are approximately 14 (MOL) acres in size.  The proposed zoning is consistent with the existing Residential Low (R-L) future land use category on the property.  

The existing MH zoning would allow a maximum of 168 mobile homes on the 14 acre site, with a minimum lot size of 3,000 square feet.  The proposed zoning would allow a maximum of 112 single family homes at the site, with a minimum lot size of 4,300 square feet.  The proposed rezoning is a reduction in maximum allowable density (allowing 56 fewer dwelling units at the site).

The subject parcels are located west of NE 2^nd Street, north of NE 35^th Ave., and east of the CSX Railroad ROW in the 3500-3700 block of NE 1^st Terrace, NE 1^st Way, and North Main Terrace.  Lots 10-21 abut NE 2^nd Street (see map on page 1).  The property is surrounded on the east and south by industrial zoning and industrial uses.  Immediately to the west of the property is an active CSX railroad line.  To the west of that is the City's Public Works compound (PS zoning).  The property immediately to the north is zoned BUS (General business district).

The Plan Board discussed the petition and recommended approval with a 6-0 vote.

Public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on August 10, 2010.  The Plan Board held a public hearing on August 26, 2010.

Fiscal Note
