AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: August 25, 2008
FROM: Bill Wiley, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance for Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Frederick W. Froelich, et al
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 8.72 acres. The property is generally located south of Highway 441 east of Sleepy Hollow Road. The project site is ten 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 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 undeveloped, and the proposed use is undetermined at this time. The surrounding County Future Land Use Map designations are County Urban and County Urban Expansion to the north, and City Conservation to the south, east and west. The existing Future Land Use Map designation for the subject property is Estate Density Residential. The proposed Future Land Use designation of Estate Density Residential is consistent with the City’s adopted Growth Management Plan and would allow for future development of the property.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the application on July 24, 2008 and by a vote of 6 to 0, recommended approval.
Options
1. Approve the requested small scale comprehensive plan amendment to Estate Density Residential; or
2. Other such action as the Commission may deem appropriate.
Fiscal Impact
There will be a positive fiscal impact to the City when the property is developed.
