Keati g, CP FROM RS -6 TO C-1 Planning & Develop ent Director FROMR�S rd Shearer, AICP REFERENCES: ZC-134 BCC Memo Chief, Long -Range Planning CHIEF It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of August 21, 1985. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Michael O'Haire, an agent for the six owners, is requesting to rezone 18.5 acres located 300 feet west of Old Dixie Highway and north of 9th Street from RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre), to RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre), and to rezone 4 acres located immediately west of Old Dixie Highway and north of 9th Street from RS -6 to C-1, Commercial District. On July 11, 1985, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 -to -0 to recommend approval of both of these rezoning requests. The Planning and Zoning Commission indicated that they felt the commercial rezoning request should be granted because the industrial uses located east of the subject property rendered the subject property unsuitable -for residential development. In addition, the Planning and Zoning Commission stated that they did not feel that commercial development would generate any more traffic than multiple -family development in this area. 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. Existing Land Use Pattern The subject property contains single-family dwellings and un- developed land. North of the subject property are multiple - family dwellings, single-family dwellings, mobile homes, and vacant land zoned RM -6. East of the subject property is R & J Crane Service, Bain Underground utilities, and Knight and Mathis zoned M-1, Restricted Industrial District. South of the subject property is a single-family subdivision zoned RS -6. West of the subject property is undeveloped land zoned RM -6. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre), and MXD, Mixed -Use District (up to 6 units/acre). The applicants are requesting to rezone that part of the subject property designated LD -2 from RS -6 to RM -6 and to rezone that part of the subject property designated as MXD from RS -6 to C-1. 46 g00K 6i `'°Gr. 843
