Kea in , A INC., REQUEST TO REZONE Planning & Devel Amen Director 68.4 ACRES FROM A-1 AND RS -6, TO RM -6, MULTIPLE - FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT FROMPtichard Shearer, AICP REFERENCES: Wedgewood 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 March 5, 1986. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Wedgewood Park Development, Inc., an agent for the owners, is requesting to rezone 68.4 acres located on the south side of State Road 60, the north side of 16th Street, and one-quarter mile west of Lateral "A" (66th Street) from A-1, Agricultural District (up to .2 units/acre) , and RS -6, Single -Family Residen- tial District (up to 6 units/acre), to RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre),. The applicant is proposing to develop this property for multi- ple -family residences. The applicant previously has received rezoning approval for 77 acres of land located approximately one mile east of the subject property on the north side of State Road 60. On January 9, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 3 -to -0 with one abstention to deny this request. The Commission gave as their reasons for denial the facts that they felt a rezoning to a multiple -family zoning category allowing up to six units per acre was not appropriate for this area because it abuts a single-family subdivision to the west and abuts property to the south which is designated as RR -1, Rural Residential 1 (up to 1 unit per 2.5 acres) on the County's land use plan The appli- cants have appealed this decision. 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 citrus groves and undeveloped land. _North of the subject property, across State Road 60, is Village Green East, a mobile home park development zoned RMH-8, Mobile Home Residential District (up to 8 units/acre), and Vista Planta- tion, a multiple -family condominium.and neighborhood node commer- 11 BOOK 63 F,�GE.��
