PREPARED BY:  Adam Hall, AICP, Planner

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Board transmit the proposed Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the City Commission with a recommendation of Approval.

 

Summary

The proposed Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment (SSCPA) is a request by James and Wetona Johnson, property owners, for the consideration of a Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment (SSCPA) to the City of Alachua Future Land Use Map (FLUM), to amend the FLUM of the subject property from Rural/Agriculture (County) to Moderate Density Residential on a ± 0.36 acre subject property (Tax Parcel No. 03068-000-000). The subject property is located at 14212 NW 167th Place.

 

The subject property was annexed through Ordinance 18-12 (adopted July 23, 2018) and as a part group of annexations for which the application fee to be annexed had been waived (Resolutions 17-11 and 17-19).  Through Resolution 18-03, the City Commission had also waived application fees for Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning applications for those properties annexed through the fee waiver resolution to comparable City designations.  

 

The subject property presently has a Rural/Agriculture (County) FLUM Designation. The proposed amendment would change the FLUM Designation to Moderate Density Residential. This designation is comparable to the Future Land Use Designations for other similarly sized parcels in the immediate vicinity. The Moderate Density FLUM Designation permits a density of 0-4 dwelling units per acre (a maximum of 1 dwelling unit for the subject property); the Rural/Agriculture (County) Land Use permits .2 dwelling units per acre (a maximum of 1 dwelling unit for the subject property).
