PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT REPORT
This ordinance will amend the Future Land Use Map of the City of Gainesville Comprehensive Plan by changing the land use category of the subject property from Single-Family (SF) to Urban Mixed-Use 1 (UMU-1). The subject property is 1.03 acres located at 1217, 1227, 1237 and 1247 SW 11th Avenue, on the southeast corner of the intersection of SW 13th Street/US 441 and SW 11th Avenue. The subject property is within the UF Context Area and the College Park/University Heights Community Redevelopment Area. The proposed land use change is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, and will allow a mix of residential and non-residential uses and will substantially increase the redevelopment potential for this property that is along a major corridor and is within walking distance of UF.
At a public hearing on June 23, 2016, the City Plan Board voted to recommend that the City Commission adopt this proposed land use category amendment.
