explanation
STAFF REPORT

This petition requests a large-scale land use amendment to change the Future Land Use designation of the subject property from Alachua County Recreation to City of Gainesville Public Facilities. This area was annexed by the City on May 14, 2007, and must be brought into conformance with the City's Generalized Future Land Use Map. The annexed area is separated from City limits only by a publicly-owned County park.

The Kanapaha Water Reclamation Facility is a City-owned and -operated wastewater treatment facility that has been in operation since 1977. The 134-acre subject property is located east of Tower Road and the County's Kanapaha Park, and includes the facility, constructed infiltration wetlands (known as Chapman's Pond), and undeveloped land. The surrounding Alachua County land uses include Conservation, Medium-density Residential, and Low-Density Residential. The Public Facilities land use designation is compatible with these land uses.

Public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on August 6, 2008. The Plan Board held a public hearing on August 28, 2008.
