explanation

PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT

This ordinance amends the Mixed use low intensity (MU-1) and Mixed use medium intensity (MU-2) zoning districts by adding an exemption to the minimum density requirements.  This amendment will make these zoning districts consistent with their respective future land use categories of the City of Gainesville Comprehensive Plan as updated by Ordinance No. 100684 adopted on July 21, 2011.

Public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on March 6, 2012.  On March 22, 2012, the City Plan Board held a public hearing and, by a vote of 7-0, recommended approval of the petition.

CITY ATTORNEY MEMORANDUM

Upon review by staff, this petition appeared to address two unrelated text change amendments.  Section 166.041(2), Florida Statutes, requires ordinances to embrace a single subject. Therefore, staff has prepared two ordinances (this ordinance and Ordinance No. 110941) based on Petition No. PB-12-17 TCH.

This ordinance requires two hearings.  Should this ordinance pass on first reading, second and final reading will be held on July 19, 2012.
