explanation
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STAFF REPORT
The subject property is the site of an existing PD (Planned development) for A Child's Place child care facility. It consists of 4.04 (MOL) acres. Lots with a SF (Single-Family: up to 8 units per acre) land use classification and occupied by single-family dwellings abut on the north and east. A 6-foot wide strip of land zoned with a PUD land use classification abuts the property on the south and separates the subject property from additional lots that have a SF land use classification and are occupied by single-family dwellings. Northwest 34th Street abuts on the west.
Related petitions have been filed to reduce the total acreage of the subject property zoned PD (Planned development) to 1.97 (MOL) acres. Petitions have also been filed to rezone 1.27 (MOL) acres to PS (Public services and operations district) for the construction of a City fire station, and to use .80 (MOL) acres for the construction of associated right-of-way. This petition involves changing the PUD land use classification on the 1.27 (MOL) acres proposed for the construction of the City fire station to PF. The PF land use classification is described in the City of Gainesville 2000-2010 Comprehensive Plan as being appropriate for property that is zoned PS and used for governmental functions.
The 1.27 (MOL) acre site proposed for the construction of a City fire station is located on the east (rear) side of the child care facility. Lots with a SF (Single-Family: up to 8 units per acre) land use classification and occupied by single-family dwellings abut on the north and east. A
6-foot wide strip of land with a PUD land use classification abuts on the south and separates the subject property from additional lots that have a SF land use classification and are occupied by single-family dwellings. The .80 (MOL) acres of land proposed for right-of-way abut on the west and north.
The following criteria, included in Policy 4.1.3 of the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan, was considered in the review of this petition: Overall compatibility of the proposal; Surrounding land uses; Environmental impacts and constraints; Promotion of urban infill, and Achievement of best interests, community values, or neighborhood support.
The City Plan Board considered the above-referenced petition at a public hearing held September 20, 2007. By a vote of 7 - 0, the City Plan Board approved Petition 84LUC-07PB as submitted.
