AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: May 8, 2006
FROM: Laura McElhanon, AICP
Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Small- Scale
Comprehensive Plan Amendment: Ronald
L. Hart, Jr. and Benjamin Garcia, Jr.
Staff Recommendation
The Planning staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed small-scale comprehensive plan amendment to the City’s adopted Growth Management Plan.
Analysis
The project site is approximately .92 acres. The general location is south of U.S. 441, at the northwest corner of Pringle and Purdum Avenues. The project site is ten (10) or less acres and is, therefore, considered a small-scale comprehensive land use plan amendment. 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 ten (10) acres or less. At that time, the Department will determine that it is a local issue and not subject to Department review.
Currently, the property is partially undeveloped and has a vacant single-family residence. The proposed use of the site is two single-family residences with a reverse City frontage road on the north boundary. The surrounding County Future Land Use Map designations are to the north, south, east and west County Commercial Corridor. The existing Land Use designation for the property is County Commercial Corridor. The proposed future land use designation of City LD (Low Density Residential) is consistent with the City’s adopted Growth Management Plan.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the application on April 6, 2006 and by a vote of 6 to 0, recommended approval.
Options
1. Approve the requested small scale comprehensive plan amendment to LD (Low Density Residential).
2. Disapprove the proposed small scale comp plan amendment, thereby allowing the County to retain jurisdiction over land use and future development.
3. Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate.
Fiscal Impact
This small-scale comprehensive plan amendment will have no direct fiscal impact on the City of Leesburg.
