Item No: 5.A.3.
Meeting Date: February
11, 2013
From: Bill Wiley, AICP, Community Development Director
Subject: Ordinance
for Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment for Norhen Properties, Inc. (Jose
Garcia)
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 8.5 acres. The property is generally located on
the west side of U.S. 27, north Palm Drive and west of Connell Road. 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 Economic
Opportunity (FDEO) 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 undeveloped except for some single family rentals. The proposed
use is for an assisted living
facility. The surrounding Future Land
Use Map designations around the subject property are all compatible with the
proposed future land use designation. The proposed land use designation change
from County Urban to City Low Density Residential is also consistent with the City’s
adopted Growth Management Plan and would allow the proposed use for the
property.
The
Planning Commission held a public hearing on the application on December 20,
2012 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. Other
such action as the Commission may deem appropriate.
Fiscal Impact
There
is no fiscal impact to the City for this action.
