explanation
STAFF REPORT
The original petition included land that was part of a utility easement located along the eastern boundary of the Oak Hammock development and part of a property that houses a Progress Energy substation. Both pieces of land are part of larger parcels and because the land is split between Alachua County and the City of Gainesville, it was felt that the proposed City land use and zoning designations should be as close as possible to the Alachua County land use and zoning designations. The current Alachua County land use designation for the 2 pieces of land is Residential (2-4 dwelling units per acre), with a zoning of R-1A (Single-family, low density). The proposed City of Gainesville designations were SF (Single Family, up to 8 units per acre) land use and RSF-1 (3.5 units/acre single-family residential district) zoning.
