explanation
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT REPORT

This petition/ordinance will rezone an approximately 1.7-acre property located at the southeast corner of NE 23rd Avenue and NE 2nd Street from Planned Development District (PD) to General Office District (OF). The property consists of a 1-acre undeveloped parcel along NE 23rd Avenue and an adjacent 0.7-acre developed parcel along NE 2nd Street that is the site of a catering business. A restaurant under different ownership preceded the catering business. The entire 1.7-acre property in 1997 was rezoned to PD (for an eating place) by Ordinance No. 960935. Construction of the development never commenced and the PD zoning was valid only for a five-year period from the date of the PD ordinance. As a result and per the PD ordinance, the City is required to initiate an action to rezone the property to an office designation.

An agent (Bruce Smith) for one of the property owners, Hattie Mae Smith, requested that the City of Gainesville initiate rezoning of this property so that the property owner may construct an office building. This rezoning will facilitate redevelopment of the property by changing the zoning from expired PD zoning, which limited the use to an eating place, to OF, which allows for office and residential uses. ...
