explanation
DEPARTMENT OF DOING STAFF REPORT
This ordinance will amend the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan by changing the land use category of approximately 1.48 acres of property that is generally located at 1135 SW 11th Avenue from Single-Family (SF) to Urban Mixed-Use (UMU), which will allow a mix of residential and non-residential uses. The applicant's intent (stated in the notice to the September 27, 2017, neighborhood workshop) "is to construct a second phase to The Nine apartment complex."
The subject property is located at the southwest corner of SW 11th Avenue and SW 11th Terrace, and is adjacent and east of the 3.7-acre, 4-story, 188-unit, multi-family development called "The Nine" (Phase 1) that is currently under construction. This ordinance will substantially increase the redevelopment potential for this property that is proximate to a major corridor (SW 13th Street/US 441) and is within walking distance of the P.K. Yonge Developmental Research School (K-12), the University of Florida, UF Health hospitals, and the Veterans Administration hospital. The property is in the UF Context Area and is in the College Park/University Heights Community Redevelopment Area. The property is approximately 560 feet to the east of SW 13th Street/US 441, and is in a part of the City that has been steadily changing from single-family residential to multiple-family and mixed-use land use in recent years.
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.
