Applicant Request

• CPA-05-14: The applicant is requesting a small scale land use change from Light Industrial to Commercial on approximately 0.5 acres. The request, if approved, would permit commercial activities associated with any implementing zoning district approved for the parcel.

Applicant Request

• ZOM-04-14: The applicant is requesting o rezone both the parcel that is the subject of the land use change as well as the parcel to the south (Fun Station) to the ‘BA’ (Business Automotive) district. The purpose of the request is to allow recreation and entertainment by right rather than by special exception as required in the present ‘BH” zoning district.

Staff Analysis – Comp Plan Amendment

• Staff finds the request consistent with the Alachua County Comprehensive Plan and ULDC. The requested land use change will allow commercial uses on parcel adjacent to I-75. Given the location of the property, impacts to surrounding uses will be limited. Adequate infrastructure exists to serve the parcel.

Staff Analysis - Rezoning

• Staff finds the request consistent with the Alachua County Comprehensive Plan and ULDC. The requested zoning change will result in a ‘BA’ zoning district for both parcels in this application. The primary purpose is to allow recreation and entertainment by right but the rezoning would allow any uses by right or SE as found in the ULDC for the BA district.

Staff Recommendation

• Staff recommends that the Commission hear the items and approve 1) the requested land use amendment and 2) the requested zoning changes (during the quasi-judicial portion of the hearing). In addition, with approval of the BA zoning district, the resolution will also reflect that the special exception now in place for the Fun Station parcel will be revoked as it is no longer necessary.
