Summary

The proposed Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment (SSCPA) is a request by Phoenix Commercial Park, LLP, 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 Employment Center (County) to Industrial on a ± 1.03 acre subject property (A Portion of Tax Parcel No 05855-004-000). The subject property is located west of CSI Academy of Florida, north of US Highway 441, east of Busby Cabinets and Waste Pro- Alachua.

 

The subject property was annexed through Ordinance 18-14 (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 a comparable City designation.

 

The subject property presently has a Rural Employment Center (County) FLUM Designation. The proposed amendment would change the FLUM Designation to Industrial. This designation is comparable to the Future Land Use Designations for other adjacent parcels in the immediate vicinity. The property has historically been used for industrial uses.
