Title
University Heights Historic District South - Relocate a single family dwelling (B)
Petition HP-15-69. Ricardo Cavallino, agent for SHD Development. Relocate a single-family dwelling located at 1021 SW 3rd Avenue to the northern portion of parcel #13098-000-000. Related to HP-15-68, HP-15-70, and HP-15-72. This building will remain a contributing structure to the University Heights Historic District - South.
Explanation
This project involves the relocation of a contributing single-family dwelling on Parcel #13098-000-000 (1021 SW 3rd Avenue). The home will be moved north on its current lot to have a front setback of 8 feet. This is closer than the required 15-25 feet per the University Heights Special Area Plan and will require the approval of an Application for Modification of Existing Zoning Requirements. The move will be part of a larger project to create multi-family housing on Parcels 13095-000-000, 13096-000-000, and 13098-000-000.
The structure to be moved is a one story single-family house that is approximately 1,050 square feet in size. Built in 1930 according to the Alachua County Property Appraisers office, this house features chert fieldstone. There is a Florida Master Site File #8AL1136 recorded with the Florida Division of Historical Resources. It will remain a contributing structure to the University Heights Historic District - South once relocated.
The staff recommendation is based on the City of Gainesville, Historic Preservation Rehabilitation and Design Guidelines - Relocating Buildings
