explanation
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT

This petition is a large-scale land use amendment to change the Future Land Use category from an Alachua County designation to a City of Gainesville designation. The City of Gainesville annexed this 13.03-acre area on November 26, 2007. The subject property consists of six parcels under common ownership, all of which are currently landlocked and undeveloped. These parcels are located southwest of the intersection of SW 20th Avenue and SW 43rd Street.

This area is currently designated as Alachua County Medium High Density Residential (8 to 14 dwelling units/acre) future land use with Multiple-family, medium-high density (R-2A) zoning, which allows 8 to 14 dwelling units per acre.

There were two City of Gainesville land uses proposed by the petitioner. On the northwestern portion of the site, 2.88 acres of Conservation land use was proposed, with the boundary established by a surveyed wetland line. South of the wetland line, 10.15 acres of Residential Medium-Density (8-30 units per acre) was proposed.
