Summary

The proposed Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment (SSCPA) is a request by Hipp Rental Properties, LLC, property owner, 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 Industrial on a ± 5.91 acre subject property (Tax Parcel No. 03213-000-000). The subject property is located at 14606 NW 129th Terrace; east of  Marlow Hunter Marine, south of US Highway 441 and north of Rachael Boulevard.

 

The subject property was annexed through Ordinance 18-11 (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.

 

The subject property presently has a Rural/Agriculture (County) FLUM Designation. The proposed amendment would change the FLUM Designation to Industrial. This designation is comparable to the Future Land Use Designations for all other adjacent parcels in the immediate vicinity. The property has historically been used for railway operations or for industrial uses (construction materials storage).
