explanation
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES STAFF REPORT
This petition for a small-scale amendment of the Future Land Use Map pertains to a 0.91-acre property identified as Tax Parcel No. 06340-007-000, which is generally located north of W Newberry Road, south of NW 10th Place, east of NW 69th Terrace and Interstate 75, and west of NW 66th Street. This property was voluntarily annexed into the City of Gainesville by Ordinance 160156 effective on September 15th, 2016. The property is currently developed with an existing 10,016 square foot CVS pharmacy and is surrounded by the North Florida Regional Medical Center (NFRMC) complex. The site also abuts existing commercial development along Newberry Road.
The proposed small-scale land use change from Alachua County Office/Medical (O/M) to City of Gainesville Office (O) will allow a mix of residential and non-residential uses including medical offices and similar facilities that are consistent with the existing Alachua County land use designation.
This property abuts NFRMC properties with City of Gainesville Office land use to the north and the east, Alachua County Office/Medical land use to the west, and Alachua County Tourist/Entertainment to the south. The respective zoning designations for the adjacent properties are City of Gainesville Medical Services district to the north and east, Alachua County Hospital and Medical district to the west, and Alachua County Highway Oriented Business zoning to the south.
This petition is related to Petition PB-16-142 ZON, which proposes a zoning change from Alachua County Hospital and Medical district to City of Gainesville Medical Services zoning.
Public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on October 11, 2016. The City Plan Board held a public hearing on October 27, 2016 and voted 7-0 to recommend the City Commission approve the petition.
