AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: July 23, 2007
FROM: Laura McElhanon, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance for Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Paul B. Harsh II - (Tri-Vista Properties, LLC)
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 from Low Density Residential to General Commercial.
Analysis
The project site is approximately 1.5 acres. The property is generally located south of South Street and west of Venture Avenue. 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 has a single family residence and undeveloped property, and the proposed use is light industrial uses. The surrounding City Future Land Use Map designations are to the north, south and west Low Density, and to the east General Commercial. The existing Land Use designation for the property is City Low Density which does not allow the proposed use. The proposed future land use designation of City General Commercial is consistent with the City’s adopted Growth Management Plan and would allow for the expansion of an existing business with additional employment.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the application on June 7, 2007 and by a vote of 7 to 0, recommended approval.
Options
1. Approve the requested small scale comprehensive plan amendment to City General Commercial.
2. Other such action as the Commission may deem appropriate.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact to the City.
