Title
Design Plat and Final Plat - Northwest Business Park Subdivision (B)
Petition 170SUB-04DB, Water & Air Research, Inc., agent for Ronald J. Shema. Design Plat and Final Plat approval of Northwest Business Park, twenty (20) lots on 20.7 acres more or less. Located in the vicinity of Northwest 65th Place and Northwest 16th Street. Zoned: I-1 (Limited Industrial) and AGR (Agriculture).
Explanation
The Development Review Board considered a request to approve a design plat of the Northwest Business Park subdivision at a public hearing held on November 10, 2004. By a vote of 5-0, the Development Review Board approved Petition 170SUB-04DB with attached staff conditions. On December 12, 2004, the City Commission approved Petition 170SUB-04DB, Northwest Business Park, by a vote of 7-0.
During review of the construction drawings for Northwest Business Park by City staff, the one-year approval period for the designed plat lapsed. The petitioner failed to request an extension of time from the City Commission prior to the December 12, 2005 time frame during City staff's review of the construction drawings. On March 8, 2006, the petitioner submitted their application for final plat approval, not realizing that the design plat had lapsed. The petitioner is now requesting that the City Commission reapprove the design plat and concurrently approve the final plat of Petition 170SUB-04DB, Northwest Business Park.
The petitioner is proposing to develop a 20-lot industrial subdivision on 20.7 acres more or less, located immediately east of the Northwest Industrial Park, in the area of the Gainesville Target Range. The target range and the subdivision property are both owned by the petitioner. The parcel in question is split-zoned, consisting of approximately 16.7 acres of (I-1) Limited Industrial zoned land and approximately four acres of wetlands that are zoned (AGR) Agriculture.
