DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The applicant is requesting that 5.95 acres of land be rezoned from A -Agricultural to R-1AA, Single Family Residential (2.6 gross units/acre). The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as LD -1 with a maximum density of 3 units per acre. The site is located on the west side of State Road A -1-A, approximately 2.2 miles north of W abasso Beach Road. The applicant's property and the acreage to the north, south, and east is undeveloped and contains natural vegetation. Citrus groves occupy the land to the west. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS A. 1) Approve the request to rezone the 5.95 acres of land from A - Agricultural to R-1AA, Single Family Residential (2.6 units/acre). That portion of the Barrier Island lying east of the subject property and east of State Road A -1-A is presently zoned R -2D, Multiple Family with a maximum density of 6 gross units per acre. Approximately 300' south of the applicant's parcel lies 14.75 acres of land in the R-1AA, Single Family District. It has been County policy to encourage low density developrnent of the Barrier Island. The applicant's request to rezone this parcel, which would allow for a maximum of 15 units on the 5.95 acre site, corresponds %,.ith this policy. 2) Initiation by the Board of County Commission to rezone the 6 acres lying between the proposed R -IAA „Single Family District and the existing R-1AA parcel. B. Deny the request to rezone the 5.95 acre parcel from A -Agricultural to R-1AA, Single Family Residential. If this alternative were selected, the subject property would remain in the Agricultural District.' RECOMIMENDATION The staff recommends that the subject property be rezoned from A -Agricultural to R -IAA, Single Family Residential. It is also recommended that the Board of County Commissioners initiate the rezoning of the 6 acre parcel lying bets,;een the proposed R-1AA, Single Family District and the existing R-1A.A parcel as outlined in.Alter- native A. This would form a contiguous 26 acre parcel which would only allow for low density development. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved (4 - 0) this recommendation in the public hearing of December 3, 1981.
