explanation
STAFF REPORT
This ordinance will amend the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan by changing the land use category of approximately 8.33 acres of undeveloped property located at 6224 SW 20th Avenue, which is north of SW 20th Avenue, south of Sugarfoot Oaks subdivision, and east of Sugarlane Subdivision. This property, which is undeveloped and has no paved roads or structures, was voluntarily annexed into the city on November 2, 2017. As a result of annexation, the city must now assign appropriate land use and zoning designations.
The property's current land use category is Alachua County High-Density Residential, and this ordinance will change the land use category to City of Gainesville Residential Low-Density (RL). Adoption of the requested RL land use category will encourage development of this property in a diverse urbanized area, will allow low-density development of up to 15 dwelling units per acre, and will allow uses such as single-family developments, single-family attached houses, and small-scale multi-family development.
The City Plan Board held a public hearing on January 25, 2018, where it voted to recommend approval of this amendment to the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan.
