explanation
STAFF REPORT
This petition is related to zoning petition 16LUC-05 PB. The purpose of this petition is to apply City of Gainesville zoning categories onto land that was annexed into the City in 2004. Zoning districts are recommended that match those of the existing Alachua County districts or that are felt to be the most appropriate for the property based upon location, surrounding development and other factors. The county zoning designation of each property will remain in effect until this proposed amendment has been adopted.
The annexed area includes 2 parcels that total approximately 34 acres. The Portofino Cluster Development is a subdivision of single-family detached houses located west of Interstate 75 on Southwest 24th Avenue. The Alachua County land use designation for Portofino is Low Density Residential (1-4 units per acre) with a County zoning designation of R-1A (Single-family, low density). The requested zoning change is from R-1A to the City of Gainesville zoning designation of RSF-1 (3.5 units/acre single-family residential district).
The Plan Board heard the petition and recommended that it be approved.
