Karen Craver, Staff Planner, reviewed the following memo dated 7/29/85: TO: The Honorable Members DATE: July 29, 1985 FILE: of the Board of County Commissioners SUBJECT: FROM: Karen M. Craver-*�2EFERENCES: Staff Planner FELLSMERE JOINT VENTURE'S APPLICATION FOR CONCEPTUAL SPECIAL EXCEPTION APPROVAL Is is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular business meeting of August 7, 1985. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: The recently adopted Residential Zoning Districts section of the Zoning Code separates allowable uses into the following three categories: Permitted Uses, Uses Requiring an Administrative Permit, and Special Exception Uses. Special exception uses are those types of uses that would not generally be appropriate throughout a particular zoning district. However, when special exception uses are carefully controlled as to number, area, location, and/or relationship to the vicinity, such uses would not adversely impact the public health, safety, comfort, good order, appearance, convenience, morals and general welfare and as such, would be compatible with permitted uses within the particular zoning district. Section 25.3 of the Zoning Code, Regulation of Special Exception Uses, authorizes the Board of County Commissioners to decide all applications for Special Exception Uses subsequent to a recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Section 25.3 also provides for Conceptual Special Exception Approval whereby the applicant may elect to submit a conceptual site plan, rather than a complete site plan pursuant to the requirements of Section 23. If the applicant is granted conceptual special exception approval, the approval shall not be considered final until a complete site plan satisfying all conditions of special exception approval has been reviewed and approved pursuant to Section 23, "Site Plan Approval". The Planning and Development Division recently received its first application for Conceptual Special Exception Approval from Fellsmere Joint Venture. Conceptual approval is being sought to construct a vegetable packing house, a special exception use within the A, Agricultural zoning district. The A, Agricultural zoning district will convert to the A-1, Agricultural zoning district when the existing agricultural district is converted, and at that time a packing house will be considered a use requiring an administrative permit. Fellsmere Joint Venture is proposing to locate the facility on the east side of C.R. 512, approximately 61 miles north of S.R. 60. On July 25, 1985, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously voted to recommend that the County Commission grant Fellsmere Joint Venture concep- tual special exception approval. W.
