Reed Knight, the owners, is requesting to rezone 212 acres <br />located south of State Road 60 and west of I-95 from A, Ag- <br />ricultural District, to R -2D, Multiple -Family District (up to 6 <br />units/acre). <br />The applicant is proposing to develop this property into a golf <br />course and condominiums. <br />On September 13, 1984, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted <br />4 -to -1 to deny this rezoning request. The Commission gave as <br />their reasons for denial the following: <br />1) They felt that this property had always been considered <br />industrial on the County's Land Use Plan; <br />2) This property is surrounded on three sides by commercial <br />and industrial zoning and uses; <br />3) This property is at the center of the I-95 and State <br />Road 60 Commercial/Industrial node; <br />4) Based on the health, safety, and welfare provisions of the <br />Zoning Ordinance, the subject property should not be <br />developed in residential uses because of the potential <br />safety problems involved with residences being located <br />near the existing Hibiscus Airport. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS <br />In this section, an analysis of the existing land use pattern <br />will be presented as well as a discussion of the future land <br />uses as established in the land use element of the Comprehen- <br />sive Plan. <br />Existing Land Use Pattern <br />The major portion of the subject property is undeveloped <br />although the west 80 acres are devoted to citrus groves. The <br />land north of the subject property is predominately undeveloped <br />and zoned C-1, Commercial District, and LM -1, Light Manufactur- <br />ing District, but also includes several single-family homes and <br />a Bell Telephone tower zoned C-1.
