Keatiry9l, P LOW-DENSITY Planning & Development Director RESIDENTIAL 1 FROM: Richard Shearer, AICP R Snoke Request Chief, Long -Range Planni@ff ERENCES: CHIEF It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of March 27, 1985. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Snoke, the owners, are requesting to amend the Comprehensive Plan by redesignating 6.4 acres located 300 feet southwest of 125th Place, northwest of Roseland Road and southeast of the Sebastian River from RR -2, Rural Residential 2 (up to 1 unit/acre), to LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (up to 3 units/acre). On February 21, 1985, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on the applicants' initial request to redesignate the subject property from RR -2 to LD -1. During the hearing the applicants stated that they would be amenable to changing their request from LD -2 to LD -1 as the staff recommended. After the public hearing, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 -to -0 to recommend that the applicants' original request to redesignate the property as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre), be denied. The Commission gave as their reasons the facts that they felt this property was correctly designated as RR -2 when the Comprehensive Plan was adopted and that conditions have not changed in this area since then to warrant a change in the land use designation. After the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on this request, the applicants formally amended their application in writing to request the LD -1 land use designa- tion. 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.
