Title
Reestablish the Oak Point Office Park Planned Development (B)
Petition 175PDA-06 PB. Frederick L. Henderson, agent for James D. Henderson, II, Oak Point Office Park. Reestablish an expired PD with modified PD layout plans for an office development. Zoned: PD (Planned development). Located at 3501 South Main Street.
Explanation
The six-acre, subject property was zoned Planned Development in 1988 under petition 224PDV-87. The Ordinance was approved on March 7, 1988. Phase one of the project was constructed in 1989 to include a 4,000-square-foot office building. The remaining 26,000 square feet were not built. The Planned Development has since expired and has, therefore, voided any further development.
The applicant wishes to proceed with development to include a total of 40,000 square feet of office use and is requesting a modification to the existing PD to allow the proposed development.
The property has a triangular shape. One side of the triangle is South Main Street to the west; the other is Williston Road to the east; and a residential subdivision, Colclough Hills, is to the north. The property to the west, across South Main Street, is zoned Conservation. To the east, the property is undeveloped and under the jurisdiction of Alachua County. The residential development to the north of the subject property is zoned RSF-1 (Single-Family Residential, 3.5 units per acre). Three lots within the Colclough Hills Subdivision have a common boundary with the subject property but only one is developed. The original Planned Development included a 50-foot setback from residential, which will be maintained as before.
The Plan Board reviewed the request and recommended approval with conditions after hearing citizen comments.
Public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on January 2, 2007. Letters were mailed to surrounding property owners on January 3, 2007. The Plan Board held a public hearing January 18, 2007.
