AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: May 22, 2006
FROM: Laura McElhanon, AICP
Community Development Director
SUBJECT: An Ordinance approving Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment: Deems
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. The Planning Commission will hold a hearing on this request on May 18, 2006.
Analysis
The project site is approximately 16 acres. The general location is at the southwest corner of the intersection of Old Tavares and Sleepy Hollow Roads. The project site is larger than ten (10.0) acres and is, therefore, considered a large-scale comprehensive land use plan amendment under state statutes. The City will notify the Florida Department of Community Affairs of the plan amendment and the Department will review the project site area to confirm that it is larger than ten (10) acres.
The
Sunnyside Study, approved by the City Commission in 2004, delineates this
property as three units per acre. Although the proposed City Future Land Use
classification of Estate Residential would allow up to four units per acre, the
Annexation Agreement, approved by the City Commission in
2005, restricts the development to three units per acre.
The project site is currently undeveloped and the surrounding Future Land Use Map designations are:
North – County Employment Center
South – City Estate Residential
East – City Low Density Residential
West – City Estate
The Land Use for the property is currently County Urban. The proposed designation of City Estate Residential, with further restrictions included in the Annexation Agreement, is consistent with the City’s adopted Comprehensive Plan and the approved Sunnyside Study.
The existing land uses surrounding the property are:
North – undeveloped and single family residential
South – single family residential
East – single family residential
West – undeveloped (proposed single family residential)
Presently, as referenced above, the site is undeveloped. The proposed use of the site is single family residential development.
Water and sewer services are available in the area. The provision of utilities to this site is not likely to have significant adverse effects on the City’s utility systems. The developer is responsible for all costs of construction to make the necessary hook-ups to City utilities in accordance with City requirements.
Options:
1. To approve or disapprove the proposed City Future Land Use Map amendment designating the site as City Estate Residential.
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.
