AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: September 11, 2006
FROM: Laura McElhanon, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance for Large Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment for a 23 acre parcel located north of SR44 and west of CR468 (Teeter)
Staff Recommendation
The Planning staff recommends approval of the proposed amendment to the City’s adopted Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map which changes the Future Land Use classification from County Urban and Urban Expansion to City Industrial. The Planning Commission held a hearing on this request September 7, 2006. (The applicant requested a General Commercial designation. Staff is of the opinion that the uses permitted in the Industrial Land Use Classification are more appropriate for this area.)
Analysis
The project site is approximately 23 acres. The general location is north of SR 44, west of CR 468. 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 – County Employment Center
East – City Industrial
West – County Urban Expansion
The Land Use for the property is currently County Urban and Urban Expansion. The Annexation Agreement will require future rezoning to a planned district by the developer, which will be consistent with the City’s adopted Comprehensive Plan.
The existing land uses surrounding the property are:
North – undeveloped
South – office/industrial park
East – office/industrial park
West – undeveloped
Presently, as referenced above, the site is undeveloped. The proposed use of the site is for commercial uses, however, as previously discussed, staff is of the opinion that uses permitted in the Industrial Land Use Classification are more appropriate in this area..
Water and sewer services are available at the intersection of SR 44 and Satellite Court and will be extended by the developer to this site.
July 9, 2007
This site was included in the Florida Department of Community Affairs objections concerning: Site Suitability (wetlands) - the recommendation has been revised to include Conservation Land Use designation for wetlands, as shown on the wetlands map; and, Water Resource Planning – information has been provided by the Environmental Services Director.
Options:
1. To approve or disapprove the proposed City Future Land Use Map amendment designating the site as City Industrial 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.
