explanation

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STAFF MEMORANDUM

The purpose of this petition is to rezone properties located in the vicinity of Southwest 34th Street, generally south of Southwest 41st Place, west of Southwest 34th Street, east of I-75, and north of the Williston Road.

The subject area includes 49 parcels that total approximately 152 acres.  All of these properties currently have a zoning designation of I-1 (Limited industrial district) with the Industrial land use.  The proposed zoning for the properties is B-I (Business industrial district).  This new zoning district was adopted on March 19, 2009 and is similar in character to the I-1 zoning district.  The district was created to accommodate those areas that are I-1 without making the existing businesses nonconforming, while allowing for future business-park type development that requires a more unified development pattern.  The B-I district will allow a variety of office, business/retail, research and development, and light industrial uses.  

Planning Division staff recommended approval of Petition PZ-09-13 ZON.  

The City Plan Board reviewed the petition and recommended approval, Plan Board vote 6-0.

Public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on April 7, 2009.  The Plan Board held a public hearing on April 23, 2009.
