Ordinance/Legistar No. 100697; Petition No. PB-10-142 CPA
An ordinance amending the City of Gainesville 2000-2010 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element by adding a new Policy 4.3.7 to regulate the Urban Village as mapped in the Future Land Use Element Map Series; providing directions to the city manager and the codifier; providing a severability clause; providing a repealing clause; and providing an effective date.

recommendation

The City Commission: (1) Receive and consider the letters from the Florida Department of Community Affairs, the Florida Department of Transportation and the Florida Department of State; (2) adopt the alternative ordinance as revised to add new language to be consistent with the Chapter Law 2011-139 and staff recommends approval of the alternative ordinance based upon the fact that it better states the intent of having a pedestrian-scaled, gridded street network in the Urban Village.
