<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Joseph Schulke, <br /> the Engineering Consultant representing Skymark Real <br />Estate Investors, gave the reasons they felt the rezoning to be consistent with the Comp Plan and <br />explained that this area will be more compatible with the surrounding zoning as an RM-6. <br /> <br /> The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard regarding this matter. <br />There being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lowther, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Davis, the Board, by a <br />4-1 vote (Commissioner Wheeler opposed) adopted <br />Ordinance 2004-037 amending the Zoning Ordinance <br />and the accompanying Zoning Map for ± 11.2 acres <br />th <br />located west of 74 Avenue and approximately 600 feet <br />south of SR-60 from A-1, Agricultural District (up to 1 <br />unit/5 acres) to RM-6, Multiple-Family Residential <br />District (up to 6 units/acre) (Bradshaw Holdings, <br />Inc./Skymark Real Estate Investors, Inc.). <br /> <br /> Commissioner Wheeler said he had a problem with the fact that the Board <br />continues to rezone property and to expand the densities in the community when we have spent <br />$500,000 to do a visioning process. The LDRs are to be addressed and he felt there is a legitimate <br />public point of view to deny rezoning requests until the task force report is implemented. <br /> <br /> In response to Commissioner Bowden’s inquiry, Attorney Collins explained <br />the standard application has to show that the request for rezoning is consistent with the Comp Plan <br />and that they complied with all the procedural requirements. Once they pass that burden, then the <br />burden shifts to the County to show that it serves a legitimate public purpose. Mr. Wheeler <br />NOVEMBER 16, 2004 14 <br /> <br />
