ZONING MAP ATLAS AMENDMENT - IMPOSING THE SPECIAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN AREA OVERLAY ON CERTAIN PROPERTY SURROUNDING THE CABOT CARBON/KOPPER'S SITE (B)
Ordinance No. 0-05-70
An ordinance of the City of Gainesville, Florida, amending the Zoning Map Atlas and imposing the Special Environmental Concern Area overlay on certain property commonly known as the Cabot Carbon/Kopper's site, and that certain area around this site located in the vicinity of NE 9th Street on the east, NW 35th Avenue on the north, NW 6th Street on the west, and NE 21st Avenue on the south, as more specifically described in this ordinance; providing directions to the City Manager; providing directions to the codifier; providing a severability clause; providing a repealing clause; and providing an immediate effective date.
recommendation
The City Commission adopt the proposed ordinance.
explanation
Petition 56TCH-04 PB, as heard by the Plan Board, contains the regulation/requirements for this overlay district, as well as the property to be included in the Special Environmental Concern Area. The purpose of the proposed ordinance is to impose the requirements of the Special Environmental Concern Area overlay (see 56TCH-04PB) on certain property or portions of property described in this ordinance as included in the overlay area. The map has been slightly amended to entirely include most parcels within the overlay area when a portion of the parcel was contained within the overlay. In the case of some very large parcels, the overlay line is drawn at the 500-foot line. In any event, the proposed overlay map is based on the 500 foot buffer area, which was approved by the Plan Board.
Both ordinances require two public hearings. Should the Commission adopt the ordinance on first reading, the second and final reading will be held on Monday, September 12, 2005.
