Explanation
The Gainesville City Commission held a formal quasi-judicial hearing beginning on June 25, 2007, and such hearing was continued and concluded on August 23, 2007, on Petition 42ZON-06 PB filed by the City of Gainesville (petitioner). The Petition sought to overlay the Significant Ecological Communities District on approximately 787 acres of property zoned AGR (Agriculture district), I-1 (Limited industrial district), I-2 (General industrial district), and RSF-1 (3.5 units/acre single-family residential district). The properties that were the subject of the Petition are generally located at 1300 and 920 Northwest 53rd Avenue, 4555 Northwest 6th Street, 5300 North Main Street, and 3464 Northwest 21st Place in Gainesville, Florida.
On September 13, 2007, the City Commission entered an Order approving Petition 42ZON-06 PB. In the Order, the City Commission concluded that it was appropriate to include the following parcels in the Significant Ecological Communities District: 07877-001-004; 07966-010-000; 07877-000-000; 07966-010-002; 08159-000-000; and 07965-002-000.
In a related agenda item, the City Attorney has recommended the City Commission set aside the Order. After further review, it was determined that the petition should be withdrawn to allow city staff to re-examine the criteria used to evaluate parcels for inclusion in the Significant Ecological Communities Overlay District and if appropriate, initiate a new petition.
