Body
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Tillman and Associates Engineering, LLC, filed a small-scale comprehensive plan amendment application on behalf of Jax Road, LLC., to change a ±29.51 acre site from Public (P) to High Residential (HR). The Parcel Identification Number for the property is 14976-004-00; no address is currently assigned to the property that is located on the north side of the 1600-1700 block of NE 49th Street, adjoining the Fore Acres, First Addition, Subdivision, and the legal description is provided within the application. The site is located in the Urban Growth Boundary, in the Silver Springs Primary Springs Protection Zone (P-SPOZ), and in Marion County's NE Utility Service Area. Marion County purchased the site in 2006, and the property was sold as surplus property in April/May 2022; the owner is now requesting a land use change to pursue a desired plan of development. A concurrent comprehensive plan small-scale amendment application to change the site's future land use designation from Public (P) to High Residential (HR) has also been submitted (250305ZP); this rezoning application is dependent on an affirmative outcome of that concurrent amendment application.
No letters of opposition or support have been received to date.
Staff recommends APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS of the applicant’s request because it is consistent with LDC Section 2.7.3.E.2, which requires that granting a rezoning will not adversely affect the public interest, that the rezoning is consistent with the Marion County Comprehensive Plan (MCCP), and that the rezoning is compatible with land uses in the surrounding area, and with LDC Section 4.2.31 on Planned Unit Development. The proposed PUD will not adversely affect the public interest based on the intensity of use, consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, and compatibility with the surrounding uses.
