BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS LEON COUNTY, FLORIDA

MAP AMENDMENT: PCM130104
APPLICANT: Dr. Darrh Bryant, DMD
TAX I.D. #:
Original Request: 11-08-51-012-290 (0.5 acres)
Staff Recommended Expansion 1 : 9.9 acres
CITY X COUNTY
CURRENT DESIGNATION: Lake Protection
REQUESTED DESIGNATION: Suburban
DATE: January 9, 2013
PCM130104 Timberlane Road near the Market District
PRELIMINARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the amendment as expanded
to include 34 properties and 9.9 acres.
A. SUMMARY:
The applicant’s original request was to change the Future Land Use Map designation from “Lake
Protection” to “Suburban” for a single developed parcel approximately 0.5 acre in size on the
north side of Timberlane Road approximately 300’ east of its intersection with Timberlane
School Road. Staff also recommends expanding the boundary of the proposed change to
incorporate this parcel and 33 additional developed parcels that are currently designated as Lake
Protection. All except one of these parcels were developed as office or commercial uses in the
early 1970s through the early-1980s. However, the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan and
designation of these parcels as Lake Protection in 1990 made these uses nonconforming because
Lake Projection in the City Limits does not allow non-residential uses.
B. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL:
1. The proposed land use change for the 34 subject properties will eliminate the legal
nonconforming land uses created at the time of adoption of the Comprehensive Plan,
which supports and furthers the intent of Land Use Objective 1.5.
2. The developed parcels do not meet the criteria for Lake Protection as established in Land
Use Policy 2.2.18.
3. The existence and likely future redevelopment of these parcels provide employment,
service, and shopping opportunities within walking distance of nearby residential areas.
4. Given the frontage along Timberlane Road and the existing and surrounding land uses,
these parcels would likely be found undesirable for redevelopment as single-family
residences over the planning horizon.
