BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS LEON COUNTY, FLORIDA

PCM130107 9 th and Thomasville Rd.
Subsequently, the Planning Department completed an application for the 2013-1
Comprehensive Plan amendment cycle on October 1, 2012 to change the Future Land Use
Map category and zoning on Lots 12 and 13 and the portion of Lot 22, Hiway Park
Subdivision, as provided in the settlement agreement.
On December 3, 2012, the City’s Growth Management Department issued a Notice of
Violation (NOV) to Mr. Cassedy based on the lack of progress on meeting the conditions of
the Settlement Agreement as outlined in the PELUC Order. As of January 17, 2013, Mr.
Cassedy was determined by the City Attorney’s Office to have adequately met the
requirements of the PELUC order. The NOV has subsequently been administratively
dismissed.
Existing Land Use, Future Land Use Designation, and Zoning
Land Use
A hair salon is located on the northernmost parcel. A parking area for the salon is located on
the adjacent parcel. That portion of the third parcel under consideration is used as part of the
parking area.
Thomasville Road runs along the west side of the parcel. The property immediately north of
the subject properties is an empty office building that used to be a veterinarian hospital, and
the properties to the north (across 9 th Ave.) and east of the site are single-family residential.
A vacant lot immediately east of the hair salon previously provided vehicular access to Grape
Street, but it has been blocked by a fence that sits approximately 22’ east of the easternmost
property line. That portion of this property that is west of the newly-installed fence is part of
the subject properties under consideration for a proposed land use and zoning change.
Land Use Designation
The subject properties are currently designated Residential Preservation (RP) on the
Future Land Use Map. The RP land use category is characterized by existing
homogeneous residential areas within the community predominantly accessible by
local streets. The primary function of this category is to protect existing stable and
viable residential areas from incompatible land use intensities and density intrusions.
Future development primarily will consist of infill due to the built out nature of the
areas. Commercial, office, and industrial land uses are prohibited. Future arterial
and/or expressways should be planned to minimize impacts within this category.
Single family, townhouse and cluster housing may be permitted within a range of up
to six units per acre. Consistency with surrounding residential type and density shall
be a major determinant in granting development approval.
Zoning
The subject properties are currently zoned Residential Preservation 2 (RP-2). The RP-2
Zoning District is intended to apply to residential development in areas designated
"Residential Preservation" on the Future Land Use Map, preserving the low density
residential character of single-family, two-unit townhouse, and duplex residential
development, protecting from incompatible land uses, and prohibiting densities in excess of
