NOV 13 1985 BOOK 62 FACE 728 <br />Jeff Goulet, Long -Range Planning, showed a slide of the <br />existing land uses in Winter Beach and explained that the major <br />concern of the residents in the area is that they would not be <br />able to rebuild if their homes burned down because the use is <br />non -conforming in the M-1 zoning district. The residents are <br />also concerned that heavy commercial and industrial uses are <br />encroaching on predominantly existing residential areas. Some of <br />these uses include a tire store, scrap yard, PVC furniture store, <br />warehouse, radiator repair shop, kennels, etc. On the Plan, all <br />these existing uses will maintain an appropriate form of <br />commercial zoning. What staff would like to do is designate all <br />the residential areas as residential so that some time in the <br />near future we can rezone those areas residential so that those <br />areas will be conforming. They also are proposing to extend the <br />residential designation within the MXD a little bit further north <br />and west to provide some area for future residential expansion so <br />that commercial uses will not continue to encroach existing <br />residential uses. <br />Commissioner Scurlock believed that although he owns 20 <br />acres on North Winter Beach Road near the Terra Nurseries, he did <br />not have a conflict of interest in this matter, as he understood <br />there is no change and the property will remain residential. <br />Richard Shearer, Chief of Long -Range Planning, advised that <br />the Plan covers approximately 12 square miles and a large part of <br />the area already is designated LD -1 and LD -2. <br />Commissioner Wodtke understood that this is a supplement to <br />the Comp Plan and will be used more restrictively. <br />Attorney Vitunac clarified that this is an in-house document <br />which sets a guideline for staff to follow. The land map has no <br />legal effect, as far as he was aware, and future land use changes <br />would still have to come back to the Board in public hearings. <br />Mr. Shearer explained that they have set this up to be <br />adopted by resolution as Comp Plan changes are adopted by <br />ordinance and this is just a supplement to that plan to have some <br />20 <br />
