SOUTHWEST 13th STREET SPECIAL AREA PLAN AMENDMENT (B)

Ordinance No. 0-06-35; Petition 175TCH-05 PB
An ordinance of the City of Gainesville, Florida, amending Appendix A, Section 7, Exhibit A, of the Land Development Code, Southwest 13th Street Special Area Plan, relating to height limits in the Urban Mixed Use-1 (UMU-1) and Urban Mixed Use-2 (UMU-2) zoning districts; providing directions to the codifier; providing a severability clause; providing a repealing clause; and providing an immediate effective date.

recommendation

explanation
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT

On November 28, 2005, the City of Gainesville adopted two new zoning districts—Urban Mixed Use-1 (UMU-1) and Urban Mixed Use-2 (UMU-2). These new districts are now both found within the Southwest 13th Street Special Area Plan, and have inconsistent regulations. The UMU-1 and UMU-2 zoning districts allow building heights that are taller than those allowed in the Southwest 13th Street SAP. This petition, therefore, recommends that the SAP height limits be increased to be consistent with the UMU height limits.

This petition proposes to amend the Southwest 13th Street SAP to make it consistent with the provisions found in UMU-1 and UMU-2 zoning districts. The Plan Board heard the petition and voted to recommend approval to the City Commission.

Public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on January 3, 2006. Letters were mailed to surrounding property owners on January 4, 2006. The Plan Board held a public hearing January 19, 2006. Planning Division staff recommended that the Plan Board approve the petition. The Plan Board recommended that the City Commission approve Petition 175TCH-05 PB. Plan Board vote 5-0.

CITY ATTORNEY MEMORANDUM

This ordinance requires two public hearings. If adopted on first reading, the second and final reading will be held on Monday, April 10, 2006.
