DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Michael O'Haire, an agent for John D. Lisle, Sr., the owner, is requesting to rezone one acre located on the south side of County Road 512, one-half mile east of I-95 from R-lE, Country Estate District (1 unit/acre), to C-1, Commercial District. In 1978, the County rezoned this property from C-1, to R-1, Single -Family District (up to 6.2 units/acre). Over the next four years, the majority of the lots in Pine Lake Estates (including the subject property) were rezoned from A, Agricul- tural District, and R-1 to R-lE. On January 5, 1983, a County - initiated request to rezone the remaining lots from A to R-lE was approved. At this time, all of the lots in Pine Lake Estates are zoned R -1E. The applicant has discussed the possibility of developing this property as an office with an apartment on the second floor. This type of use would be allowed in the C-1 district or the C-lA, Restricted Commercial District. On December 13, 1984, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 -to -1 to deny this request. The Commission gave as their reasons the facts that they did not feel this property could be included in the I-95 and County Road 512 node, there is no commercial zoning around the subject property, and that they were concerned about establishing a small commercial area in an area that will probably continue to develop residentially. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented. The analysis will include a description of the current and future land uses of the site and surrounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and utility systems, and any significant adverse impacts on environmental quality. Existing Land Use Pattern The subject property and all of the land around it is undeveloped. The land north of the subject property, across County Road 512, is zoned A. The land east and south of the subject property is zoned R -1E. The land west of the subject property is zoned R-1. Further west is property zoned C-1. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and the land east, south, and west of it as LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (up to 3 units/acre). The land north of the subject property is designated as AG, Agricultural (up to .2 units/acre). In addition, the Comprehensive Plan designates a 175 acre commercial/industrial node at the intersection of I-95 and County Road 512. The applicant is proposing to include the subject property in this node. In December of 1983, the Board of County Commissioners rezoned 100 acres of land located 1,000 feet north of County Road 512 and 3/4 mile east of I-95 from A, Agricultural District, to LM -1, Light Manufacturing District. That rezoning stretched the 175 acre commercial/industrial node to the north and east of the intersection making it difficult to include much property on the south side of County Road 512 or the west side of I-95 in the node. Tentative boundaries were prepared for this 175 acre node based on the existing and committed commercial uses, industrial zoning, and necessary infill property (see attachment 3). These tentative boundaries do not include the subject property. W JAN 2 3 1985 BOOK �� H GE 640
