Kea ing; AICP Planning & Development Director FROM: Z REFERENCES: Richard Shearer, AICP Chief, Long -Range Planning FILE: C. L. LAFEVERS, JR. REQUEST TO REDESIGNATE 1.95 ACRES FROM MD -2, TO COMMERCIAL, AND APPEAL OF PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION'S DENIAL OF REQUEST TO REZONE FROM R-2, TO C-1 CPA -023 CHIEF It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of April 3, 1985. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Mr. C. L. LaFevers, Jr., the owner, is requesting to amend the Comprehensive Plan by redesignating 1.95 acres located at the northwest corner of 8th Street and 6th Avenue from MD -2, Medium -Density Residential 2 (up to 10 units/acre), to Com- mercial, and is appealing the Planning and Zoning Commission's denial of request to rezone from R-2, Multiple -Family District (up to 15 units/acre), to C-1, Commercial District. The applicant owns an additional 3.96 acres of land immediately west of the subject property which is designated commercial and zoned C-1. On February 14, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 3 -to -1 to recommend that this request to amend the Comprehensive Plan be denied. The Commission also voted 3 -to -1 to deny this rezoning request. The Planning and Zoning Commission gave as their reasons the facts that they felt 6th Avenue was primarily a residential street, that commercial development should not extend beyond the 600 foot commercial corridor east of U.S.1 in this area, and that this property could reasonably be developed for residential use. 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 is undeveloped. North of the subject property, across 8th Place, is a subdivision containing single-family dwellings and duplexes which is zoned R-2. East of the subject property, across 6th Avenue, is a child care facility, old citrus groves, and two single-family dwellings zoned R-2. South of the subject property, across 8th Street, is a single-family residence and undeveloped land zoned R-2 and C-1. West of the subject property is undeveloped land zoned C-1. 36 7-7 L
