DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The applicant, Mr. D. V. Knight, Jr., is requesting that 40 acres located 3/4 mile west of I-95 on the west side of 98th Avenue and 1/2 mile south of State Road 60 be included in the I-95 and S.R.60 -Commercial/Industrial node, as designated on the future land use map of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan, and be rezoned from A, Agricultural District., to M-1, Restricted Industrial District. The applicant proposes to develop this property as an industrial park. This rezoning request was considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission on November 17, 1983. At that time, the planning staff recommended that the request be denied because there was not enough available land in the I-95 and S.R.60 node to include the subject property. Rather than deny the rezoning request, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-1 to table the request and voted 4-1 to suggest to the Board of County Commissioners that they consider enlarging this node. On February 23, 1984, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 -to -1 to recommend approval of this rezoning request. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis will be presented as well as use as established in the Land Plan. Existing Land Use Pattern of the existing land use pattern a discussion of the future land Use Element of the Comprehensive The subject property and the lands immediately south and west of it are devoted; to citrus groves. North of the subject property is vacantland, the M.A. Ford Manufacturing Co., and Rampmaster, Inc., which are in an LM -1, Light Manufacturing District. East of the subject property is the New Hibiscus Airport. Future Land Use Pattern The. Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Agricultural. All of the land immediately surrounding the subject property is also designated as Agricultural except for the land east of 98th Avenue which is designated as MD -1, Medium -Density Residential (up to 8 dwelling units/acre). However, there is a 230 acre (proposed to be expanded to 300 acre) Commercial/Industrial node designated at the intersection. of I-95 and S.R.60 which is 3/4 mile east and 1/2 mile north of the subject property. The applicant proposes to have his property included in this node. Based on the current 230 acre size of the existing commercial/ industrial node, the planning staff prepared a map delineating the tentative boundaries of that area around the I-95/S.R.60 intersection considered to be in the node (see Attachment 3). Given the 230 acre size of the node, the staff felt that the subject property could not logically be included in the node. However, it is the staff's position that if the node is expanded to 300 acres, the subject property could be included in the node. The staff then prepared another map showing the tentative boundaries of the node at an expanded size of 300 acres (see Attachment #4). M APR 4 "984 BOOK 56 un 551
