APR 1$ 1984 BOOK' PAGE DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: The applicant, Mr. Paul E. Austin, requests to rezone approxi- mately .7 acres located on the northside of State Road 60 and one-fourth mile west of Kings Highway (58th Avenue) from.R-2D, Multiple -Family District (up to 6 units/acre), to* C-1, Commer- cial District. The applicant proposes to use this property for retail stores. On January 5, 1983, the Board of County Commissioners rezoned this property (and approximately 9 acres to the north of it) from A, Agricultural District, to R -2D. At that time, the Planning Department felt that rezoning the subject property to a multiple -family zoning district would provide a good land use buffer between the existing single-family homes to the west and the potential commercial property to the east. On October 12, 1983, the Board of County Commissioners rezoned 20 acres immediately east of the subject property from A, Agricultural District, to C-1. On March 8, 1984, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: In this section, an analysis of the -existing land use pattern will be presented as well as a discussion of the future land use as established in the land use element of the Comprehensive Plan. Existing Land Use Pattern: The subject property and the property immediately north of it are undeveloped. However, the applicant received site plan approval for a multi -family development immediately north of the subject property on January 26, 1984. A 36 acre parcel of land immediately east of the subject property and west of Kings Highway is also undeveloped. The south 20 acres of this parcel were rezoned from A to C-1 on October 12, 1983. The north 16 acres are undeveloped.and zoned A. North of this property is Rivera Estates, a single-family subdivision also in an A district. Further east, across Kings Highway, is an 18.6 acre parcel which is vacant and. zoned C-1. East of this parcel are single-family subdivisions. The land south of the subject property, across S.R. 60, -is undeveloped and zoned A. West of the subject property is a narrow strip of vacant land zoned R -2B, Multiple -Family -District (up to 8.1 units/acre). Further west is a single-family house on a large parcel of -land and Whistle Wood Subdivision which contains six lots at a°platted: density of 1 unit per 1.7 acres and which is zoned R-1, Single - Family District (up to 6.2 units/acre). Future Land Use Pattern: The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and the lands north, south, and west of it as LD -2, Low -Density 2 (up to 6 units/acre). The current zoning of the property, R -2D, is in conformance with this LD -2 land use designation. The Comprehensive Plan also designates a 140 acre commercial node at the intersection of S.R. 60 and Kings Highway which extends eastward to 43rd Avenue. When the 20 acre parcel of land immediately east of the subject property was rezoned to C-1, it was considered part of the node. 27
