AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: November 13, 2006
FROM: Laura McElhanon, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance approving a Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Mary Davena Stephens
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 9.99 acres. The property is generally located west of C.R. 25A and south of the intersection of the northern intersection of C.R. 25A with U.S. 27. 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 vacant and undeveloped and the proposed use is a residential assisted living facility. The surrounding Future Land Use Map designations are to the north City Conservation and Estate, to the east City Low Density and County Urban, and to the west and south County Urban. The current Future Land Use designation for the property is County A (Agriculture). The proposed future land use designation of City Low Density Residential is consistent with the City’s adopted Growth Management Plan.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the application on October 5, 2006 and by a vote of 6 to 0, recommended approval.
Options
1. Approve the requested small scale comprehensive plan amendment to City 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. Other such 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.
