M M r DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Carter Associates, an agent for Vero Producers, Inc., the owner, is requesting to rezone 20 acres located south of Oslo Road and east of 74th Avenue from A, Agricultural District, and C-1, Commercial District, to A-1, Agricultural District. The owner plans to build a fruit packing house on this property. On August 8, 1985, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request. 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 is a feed store zoned A. East of the subject property is pasture land and citrus groves zoned A. South of the subject property is pasture land zoned A. West of the subject property is the Ocean Spray fruit processing plant and the Hercules fruit pectin plant zoned M-1, Restricted Industrial District. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan generally designates the subject property and the land around it as AG, Agricultural. However, the north 600 feet of the subject property and the land west of the subject property have been proposed for inclusion in the 230 acre commercial/ industrial node located southwest of the intersection of 74th Avenue and Oslo Road. The proposed rezoning to A-1 is in conformance with the AG land use designation and would allow agriculturally -related uses consistent with the agriculturally -related industrial uses to the west. Transportation System The subject property has direct access to Oslo Road (classified as an arterial street on the Thoroughfare Plan) and to 74th Avenue (classified as a secondary collector street). The maximum development of the subject property for a fruit packing house could attract up to 1,048 average annual daily trips. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive. The subject property is in a C flood zone indicating areas outside of the 500 year flood plain. Utilities The subject property is not served by County water nor wastewater facilities. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff recommends approval. 37 � �� &- I
