Counselman <br />Agent <br />P. 0. Box 1090 <br />Address <br />Vero Beach, Fla. 32960 <br />3-5-80 <br />Date o; Application <br />IRC-80-ZC-8 <br />Application Number <br />Rezoning from R-1 to A <br />(District District <br />Preliminary Final X Hearing <br />PROPOSED USE AND LOCATION: Subject property, 124 acres, is located on the west <br />side of Kings Highway between 73rd Street and 69th Street. The applicant wishes <br />to rezone these parcels from R-1, Single Family to A, Agricultural to blend in <br />with the surrounding land uses. <br />EXISTING SITUATION: This parcel is zoned R-1, Single Family, and is currently a <br />research agricultural center and citrus groves. The surrounding land uses to the <br />north, south and east are currently vacant or remaining in native vegetation; to <br />the west are a couple of scattered residences. <br />RECO11•1'•1ENDATION: Application is in order, and staff recommends rezoning from <br />ing e amity to A, Agricultural. The property to the east of the subject <br />property and Kings Highway is presently zoned Agricultural, and the existing . <br />parcel's predominate use is agricultural. Therefore, staff recommends this <br />rezoning even though this rezoning will perhaps be considered spot zoning. Staff <br />feels that the established Agricultural Research Center should be allowed to <br />continue without being restricted by the rules of a non -conforming use. <br />S�l <br />Davi d M.
