The Honorable Members DATE: March 19, 1985 FILE: of the Board of County Commissioners DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: SUBJECT: RESIDENTIAL ZONING Robert M. Kea ng, CP CONVERSION TABLE Planning & Development Director FROM: * REFERENCES: Richard Shearer, AICP Residential Zoning Chief, Long -Range Planning RICH2 It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their special meeting of March 28, 1985. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The Planning Department has prepared an ordinance to convert the existing residential zoning districts depicted on the County's Zoning Atlas to the new residential zoning districts adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on January 16, 1985. In addition, this ordinance repeals the seventeen old residential zoning districts which will no longer appear on the zoning atlas. On March 14, 1985, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS The Planning Department has done a detailed analysis of the County's Zoning Atlas and prepared the conversion table to convert the old zoning districts to the new zoning districts based on the existing zoning and the Comprehensive Plan. All of the proposed changes are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. A list of exceptions to the conversion table is included to provide appropriate zoning for parcels which may not be rezoned in accordance with the land use plan but are otherwise in conformance with the plan. These parcels include lands that were lawful conforming uses when the Plan was adopted and so are considered in conformance with the Plan. The ordinance also repeals the seventeen old residential zoning districts which will no longer appear on the Zoning Atlas. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the attached ordinance to convert the old zoning districts on the Zoning Atlas to the new zoning districts adopted on January 16, 1985, and repeal the old residential zoning districts.
