explanation
STAFF REPORT
This ordinance will amend the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan by changing the land use category of approximately 5.07 acres of property located at 4551 NW 39th Avenue. This property was voluntarily annexed into the City on February 21, 2019. 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 Low Density Residential and this ordinance will change the land use category to City of Gainesville Mixed-Use Low-Intensity (MUL).
The City Plan Board held a public hearing on October 9, 2019, where it voted to recommend approval of this amendment to the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan. On December 5, 2019, the City Commission heard a presentation on this application, gave direction to City staff, and authorized the drafting of this ordinance. This proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan involves a use of 10 acres or fewer and qualifies as a small-scale development amendment, which allows the City Commission to adopt this ordinance with a single public hearing.
Within 30 days following the City's adoption of this amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, any affected person may file a petition with the State Division of Administrative Hearings to request a hearing to challenge the amendment's compliance with Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. If not timely challenged, this amendment shall become effective 31 days after adoption. If timely challenged, this amendment shall become effective when the state land planning agency or the Administration Commission issues a final order determining that this amendment is in compliance with Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. No development orders, development permits, or land uses dependent on this amendment may be issued or commenced before this amendment has become effective.
