RECOMMENDATION: The subject property is located in proximity to major transport- ation routes and facilities necessary to industrial/commercial development. The proposed R-IAIP district would be incompatible with both the nodal designation and adjacent zoning districts. Based on the foregoing analysis, staff recommends disapproval of the requested rezoning from A -Agricultural and C-1, Commercial to R-1MP-Mobile Home Park. Attorney Samuel Block came before the Board repre- senting Realcor Company and requesting a 60 day extension of this public hearing. Mr. Block was critical of the Planning Department and their facts and stated that the Planning & Zoning Commission made a decision based partly on a letter written by Mr. Brown of the Florida Department of Transportation containing erroneous information and Mr. Brown has since confirmed this to him in a second letter. Attorney Block further noted that the PRESS JOURNAL printed an editorial based on the same erroneous information given the Planning & Zoning Commission. Attorney Block's second point was the lack of standards regarding mobile homes and his belief that this has become a political issue. Mr. Block further felt that the Planning Department refuted the applicant's letter with unfounded statements. He noted that the appeal proceedings is almost like a.court of law, and based on the facts he just presented and the erroneous editorial, he requested the Board grant a 60 day extension to get this matter out of the realm of politics and also to set some objective standards re mobile homes.. Chairman Scurlock asked if Mr. Block was requesting that we have workshops and go back all the way to the stage of the Planning & Zoning Commission hearing with proper information or if he was just asking the Board of County Commissioners to go ahead with the appeal process after a 60 day extension.
