explanation
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT
This petition/ordinance amends the Land Development Code Appendix A, Section 3, Exhibit B. College Park Special Area Plan (SAP) by deleting obsolete zoning district references pertaining to sign regulations.
The College Park SAP regulates properties that are classified as Type I and Type II buildings. The Land Development Code previously regulated Type I and Type II buildings according to specified zoning districts, but Ordinance No. 110863, adopted on July 19, 2012, clarified that the allowable uses for Type I and Type II buildings are those permitted by the underlying zoning district. Consistent with that update recognizing a mix of zoning classifications on Type I and Type II properties, this petition/ordinance deletes obsolete references to the Mixed-use low intensity (MU-1) and Residential mixed-use (RMU) zoning classifications within the Type I and Type II sign regulations.
Public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on August 7, 2012. On August 23, 2012, the City Plan Board held a public hearing and, by a vote of 6-0, recommended approval of the petition.
