STAFF REPORT

The subject property is 18 acres in size, and is a portion of the Blues Creek development in northwest Gainesville (known in the Planned Unit Development as "Unit 1"). The property was annexed into the city in 2005, and is mostly found within the 100-year FEMA floodplain. A much larger portion of the Blues Creek development-256 acres-was annexed into the city in 2001 and 2002. This property must be brought into conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. This requires amending the City's Future Land Use Map to include this property. This petition would amend the City's Future Land Use Map.

Single-Family residential (SF) land use is north of the property, is also part of Blues Creek, and is undeveloped. County Low-Density Residential (1-4 du/ac) land use is adjacent and developed to the south, east and west.

The revised Master Plan for Blues Creek, dated November 1999, specifies that the 18 acres within Unit 1 shall contain 57 single-family attached homes. All units are to be 2- or 3-bedroom homes, with a maximum height of 35 feet. Each lot has a zero setback. Setbacks from the property perimeter or dedicated streets...
