STREET VACATION – JEFFERSON 2ND AVENUE (B)

Ordinance No. 0-06-108, Petition 96SVA-06PB
An ordinance of the City of Gainesville, Florida, to vacate, abandon and close that portion of Southwest 5th Terrace located in the vicinity between Southwest 2nd Avenue and Southwest 3rd Avenue, as more specifically described in this Ordinance; reserving public and private utilities easements; providing conditions and a reversionary interest; providing a severability clause; providing a repealing clause; and providing an immediate effective date.

explanation
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STAFF REPORT

The petitioner is proposing to develop a 4.55-acre site with a mixed-use development consisting of 275 apartments, 8,404 square feet of retail space, an approximately 4,000-square foot clubhouse and amenity center, and a six-story parking garage with 846 parking spaces. The site is located along the western edge of the Central City District, and is located within the Traditional City Special Area Plan. The subject property, consisting of seven parcels, is generally bounded by Southwest 2nd Avenue to the north, Southwest 4th Avenue to the south, Southwest 6th Street to the west and Southwest 5th Street to the east. The seven parcels, however, are currently divided by two local streets, Southwest 3rd Avenue and Southwest 5th Terrace. In an effort to combine the parcels into no more than two separated sites, the petitioner is requesting to vacate, abandon and close that portion of Southwest 5th Terrace located between Southwest 2nd Avenue and Southwest 3rd Avenue. Southwest 5th Terrace is considered a minor local street because it dead-ends into both Southwest 2nd Avenue and Southwest 3rd Avenue in that area and is only one block long (5th Terrace is off-set north of Southwest 2nd Avenue), and functions more as an access/service drive than a local street.
