Background:
This application is a request to rezone two parcels totaling approximately 13.18 acres from PD (residential Planned Development) to the R-2 (4 to 8 dwelling units/acre) and R-2a (8 to 14 dwelling units/acre). If approved, the site would allow residential uses within these density ranges. Based on the acreages proposed to be rezoned as R-2 (approximately 8.22 acres) and R-2a (approximately 4.96 acres), the maximum number of units would be 135. These areas coincide with their respective land use designations. However, the possibility exists that the site could develop as a Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND), at the option of the developer, in which case the maximum number of units would then be 178. Staff has used the TND maximum (which also includes non-residential uses) for the purposes of analyzing maximum impacts.
The site is located along SE Hawthorne Rd. in the SE portion of the Urban Cluster, between the city limits of Gainesville and the Eastside Activity Center. It is the location of the Hillside Villas PD which was approved in 2005 but never developed. This PD has long since expired and consists of other parcels not part of this application (parcels 16165-001-000 and 16165-002-000, to the NW of the site). Prior to this, the site consisted of a mobile home park which closed in the late 1990s. The mobile home park was the subject of many code violations and liens which ultimately have been resolved with the new owners.
