Request for Variance to the Clay County Land Development Code, Article III, Section 3-13(e)(5), to increase lot size from 21,780 sq. ft to 64,787 sq. ft.

The parcel is located on Logan Ave and also has frontage on Harrison Ave.  The parcel is located in AR zoning district with a future land use designation of UC-10. The applicant wishes to split the parcel resulting in a parcel of 1.43 acres and a parcel 1.48 acres.  Sec. 3-13 (e)(5) of the Land Development Code restricts parcels in the AR zoning district with a UC-10 future land use to a maximum lot size of 21,780 square feet.   The subject parcel is 2.91 acres in size according to information from the County Property Appraiser.  The subject parcel is non-conforming due to its size.   The parcel also contains multiple residential units. 

The LDC was amended in 1993 to require the maximum size for parcels in the AR zoning district with UC-10 land use.  Prior to 1993, AR zoning district required a minimum parcel size of 1 acre (43,560 sf).  The subject parcel exceeded the present maximum size for AR zoning district prior to adoption of the change to the Code.
