DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Michael O'Haire acting as agent for Martin Gregory and Richard Wiggins, trustees, is requesting to rezone 29.27 acres located north of 37th Street and one mile east of U.S. Highway 1 from RS -6, Single -Family Residential District, and RS -1, Single -Family Residential District, to RM -8, Multiple -Family Residential District. The owners intend to develop this property for a life care center and related uses. On September 19, 1984, the Board of County Commissioners approved the rezoning of 10 acres located south and west of the subject property from R-lA, Single -Family District, to MED, Medical District. No action was taken on this property pending an environmental survey. Subsequently, the applicants have amended their application to request RM -8 zoning. On July 11, 1985, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 3 -to -1 to recommend approval of this request. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the appli- cation will be presented. The analysis will include a descrip- tion of the current and future land uses of the site and sur- rounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and utility systems, and any significant adverse impacts on environ- mental quality.
