STAFF REPORT
This ordinance amends the Zoning Map Atlas of the City of Gainesville by rezoning approximately 11.18 acres of property known as East Lake Forest generally located southwest of the intersection of East University Avenue and SE 38th Street from Alachua County Single-Family Medium Density (R-1b) district to City of Gainesville Single/Multi-Family Residential (RMF-5) district. This property is in the Lake Forest Farms subdivision and was voluntarily annexed into the city on August 15, 2019 (Ordinance No. 181064). As a result of annexation, the city must now assign appropriate land use and zoning designations. The requested rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets all applicable review criteria.
The City Plan Board held a public hearing on July 25, 2019, where it voted to recommend approval of this rezoning.
This ordinance requires two hearings and shall become effective when the amendment to the City of Gainesville Comprehensive Plan adopted by Ordinance No. 190169 becomes effective as provided therein.
