explanation

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STAFF MEMORANDUM

The petitioner, the City of Gainesville Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Affairs Department, requests a rezoning on land owned and maintained by the City. The parcel currently has split zoning with CON (Conservation) zoning on the central portion, PD (Planned Development) on the northern half, and a seven-acre portion designated RMF-6 in the southwestern corner. Approval of the proposed change would result in the entire parcel being designated CON. This parcel is managed as part of a larger conservation area known as Sugarfoot Prairie.

Public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on June 8, 2010. The City Plan Board held a public hearing June 24, 2010.
