AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: September 11, 2006
FROM: Laura McElhanon, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance for Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Nobles (Swiderski)
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 General Commercial. The Planning Commission held a hearing on this request September 7, 2006.
Analysis
The project site is approximately 13 acres. The general location is the west side of US Hwy 27/CR 25, north of South Pelican Isle Drive. 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 project site is currently undeveloped and the surrounding Future Land Use Map designations are:
North – County Urban
South – City Commerce and County Urban
East – City Commerce
West – County Urban
The Land Use for the property is currently County Urban. The City is currently processing an application to rezone this site to C-3 (Highway Commercial), which will be consistent with the City’s adopted Comprehensive Plan.
The existing land uses surrounding the property are:
North – mobile home park
South – single family residential
East – undeveloped
West – single family residential
Presently, as referenced above, the site is undeveloped. The proposed use of the site is for commercial development.
Water and sewer services are available on US Hwy 27 and will be extended by the developer.
Options:
1. To approve or disapprove the proposed City Future Land Use Map amendment designating the site as City General Commercial.
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.
