MAR 2 8 1985 � Boa GO Fn 57 logically would go to RM -6. However, since it was a lawful use when the Plan was adopted, and, therefore, considered in conformance with the Plan, staff would recommend it be rezoned to RM -8. In addition, we have a number of mobile home developments, which were approved and conforming, have correct zoning designations, and are in areas designated as LD -2, but the Plan when adopted stated these would be allowed only in MD -1 and MXD Land Use designations. This would not permit any future mobile home development, and for this reason, staff proposes to convert them to the appropriate mobile home zoning district. Commissioner Wodtke wished to know if someone has R-1 now at 6 units per acre, but they are in LD -1, whether the R-1 will become RS -3 or RS -6, and Planner Shearer stated RS -3. Commissioner Wodtke noted that, in essence, by this action we are reducing the densities allowed, and Planner Shearer agreed this conversion table will reduce the densities allowed in the county substantially. Chairman Lyons pointed out that this makes them in conformance with the Land Use Plan, and Planner Shearer felt that, in effect, the Land Use Plan lowered a lot of densities when it was adopted in 1982. Attorney Brandenburg clarified that the zoning action contemplated does not reduce densities. The Comprehensive Plan already has done that because an individual who had zoning that exceeded the Comprehensive Plan couldn't build at that density anyway. All this does is aid him in the future development of that property by not requiring him to go through the rezoning process which would have been necessary before he could develop his property. Commissioner Scurlock believed that the Commission took extraordinary measures when developing and adopting the Comprehensive Plan, having meetings in the High School auditorium, etc., to identify that densities were to be reduced in the county. 4 0
