The property is presently owned by Abe Stern and is located south of 99th Street (Vickers Road) west of _64th Avenue and East of 66th Avenue. The applicant -proposes to develop a mobile home park on this site. On April 10, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request. 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 currently contains citrus groves and is zoned A-1, Agricultural District. Breezy Village Mobile Home Subdivision, zoned RMH-8, is located directly east of the subject property. The Lamplighter Mobile Home Park, zoned RMH-8, is located to the north of' the subject property. There is also a warehouse, zoned IL, Light Industrial District, located on the north side of 99th Street (Vickers Road) just east of the subject property.

Transportation System The subject property has access to 99th Street (classified as a local street on the Thoroughfare Plan). The maximum development of the subject property with the RMH-8 Zoning would generate approximately 576 average annual daily trips (AADT).
