NONRESIDENTIAL ZONING CONVERSION TABLE FROM: �S REFERENCES: Richard Shearer, AICP NonResidential Conversion - Chin -f., Long -Range Planning Tahla/RTCH2 It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their special --meeting of January 14, 1986. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The Planning.Department has prepared an ordinance to convert the existing nonresidential zoning districts depicted on the County's Zoning Atlas to the new nonresidential zoning districts adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on July 24, 1985. In addition, this ordinance repeals the eight old nonresidential zoning districts which will no longer appear on the zoning atlas. On November 21, 1985, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS The Planning Department has done a detailed analysis of the County's Zoning Atlas and prepared the conversion table to convert the old zoning districts to the new zoning districts based on the existing zoning, the existing land use pattern, and the Comprehensive Plan. All of the proposed changes are consis- tent with the Comprehensive Plan and adopted node boundaries. A list of exceptions to the conversion table is included to provide appropriate zoning for parcels which may not be rezoned in accordance with the land use plan but are otherwise in confor- mance with the Comprehensive -Plan. This includes properties which have commercial zoning, and existing commercial uses, but have a residential land use designation on the land use map. These properties are considered in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan based on the following provision in the Land Use Element: It is not the intent of the Board of County Commissioners to create nonconforming uses by the adoption of this Plan. All lawful, conforming uses in existence at the date of Plan adoption shall be considered consistent with the Plan. In addition, this proposed ordinance will realign zoning district boundaries in areas where there are a large number of zoning districts to reduce the number of districts. For example, a half mile section of State Road 60 in the I-95/State Road 60 node area contains five different zoning districts. Under the proposed zoning conversion ordinance, all of these properties would be zoned CG, General Commercial District. If this ordinance is adopted, all zoning in the unincorporated part of the County will be in conformance with the Comprehensive 4 s � res
