explanation
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT
This petition and ordinance amends of the Future Land Use Map of the City of Gainesville Comprehensive Plan by changing the land use category of property located in the vicinity of 2320 SW 34th Street, as more specifically described in the ordinance, from Alachua County Commercial to City of Gainesville Urban Mixed-Use 2 (UMU-2). The approximately .25 acre property, which is within the Urban Village area, contains a vacant 2,288 square-foot building with a 440 square-foot canopy.
Amendment of the Future Land Use Map is proposed because a City of Gainesville Future Land Use category is required to be placed on annexed land. The proposed change from Alachua County Commercial to Urban Mixed-Use 2 is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and with the land use designation of surrounding properties, and will allow many of the same uses now permitted under the County category.
After public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on November 17, 2011, the City Plan Board held a public hearing on December 5, 2011, and by a vote of 4-0, recommended approval of this petition.
