New developments in plans for that Lakeshore Mall re-do

Those planning a mixed-used development on the site of Gainesville’s Lakeshore Mall have a date next month with the city’s Planning & Appeals Board (GPAB).

Branch Lakeshore Associates, LP, wants the city to amend the current Planned Unit Development (P-U-D) zoning for the 49-acre tract where the mall now sits. What kinds of amendments are being sought is not spelled out in the legal advertisement announcing the agenda for the Dec. 8 meeting .

Also on the agenda for that December planning board meeting is a request from Greg Loyd to vary the lot width requirement on a 1/3-acre tract on the south side of Summit Street, across from its intersection with Mott Street. Two duplex apartments are planned there. And, again, the legal ad did not spell out specifics of what is being requested of the city.
