AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: October 25, 2010
FROM: Bill Wiley, AICP
Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment: Lafayette Square
Staff Recommendation
The Planning staff recommends approval of the proposed amendment to the City’s adopted Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map by changing the Future Land Use classification from County Urban to City Estate Residential and Conservation. The project site is larger than ten (10.0) acres and is, therefore, considered a Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment under state statutes. A first reading on this request was held by the City Commission on July 12, 2010. The amendment was subsequently transmitted to DCA for review and no substantive comments were received.
Analysis
The project site is approximately 94 acres. The general location is south of El Rancho Drive and Caballo Road. The project site is currently undeveloped and the surrounding Future Land Use Map designations are:
North – County Urban
South – City Conservation and Institutional
East – City Recreation
West – County Urban
The Land Use for the property is currently County Urban. The property is currently zoned City RE-1(Estate Residential), which is consistent with the proposed Future Land Use designation.
The existing land uses surrounding the property are:
North – undeveloped and single family residential
South – undeveloped
East – undeveloped
West – undeveloped
Options:
1. To approve or disapprove the City Future Land Use Map amendment designating the site as City Estate Residential and Conservation.
2. Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate.
Fiscal Impact:
This large-scale comprehensive plan amendment will have no direct fiscal impact on the City of Leesburg.
