Small-scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Conservation (CON) to Mixed-Use Low-Intensity (8-30 units/per acre) (MUL), and Residential Medium-Density (8-30 units per acre) (RM) (B)
Petition PB-12-159 LUC. Brown & Cullen Inc., agent for Hidden Lake SFR LLC. Amend the City of Gainesville Future Land Use Map from Conservation (CON) to Mixed-Use Low-Intensity (8-30 units/per acre) (MUL), and Residential Medium-Density (8-30 units per acre) (RM).
