explanation
STAFF MEMORANDUM
This petition is a request to rezone a property from Alachua County Manufacturing and Services Industrial (MS) to City of Gainesville Limited industrial district (I-1). This property was annexed by the City on May 14, 2007, and must be brought into conformance with the City's Generalized Zoning Map and the Comprehensive Plan.
The 25.85-acre subject property contains Bear Archery, an existing manufacturing facility for archery equipment that was built in 1978. Bear Archery is located west of Interstate 75 and north of Williston Road. It is accessed by a frontage road (SW 41st Boulevard), and is adjacent to undeveloped land. The future land uses on all adjacent properties are Alachua County Light and Heavy Industrial. The adjacent properties zoned Agriculture (A) and Residential Multi-family (R-3) are not developed; one adjacent parcel zoned Manufacturing and Services Industrial (MS) contains one structure. The requested Limited industrial zoning is consistent with the surrounding land uses as well as the Industrial land use requested in related Petition 23LUC-08PB.
Public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on March 5, 2008. The Plan Board held a public hearing on March 20, 2008.
