AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT Robert M. Ke tn , TO RFD, RURAL FRINGE Planning & Devel pm t Director DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT. THROUGH: Richard Shearer Chief, Long -Range Planning FROKkobert M. Melsom REFERENCES: /lGM Staff Planner, Long -Range Planning It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of June 18, 1986. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Richard A. Philo, the owner, is requesting to rezone 2.44 acres located north of 17th Street Southwest, and west of 58th Avenue from A-1, Agricultural District (up to 1 unit/5 acres), to RFD, Rural Fringe Development District (up to 1 unit/2.5 acres). On May 8, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 -to -0 to recommend approval. 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 consists of 2.44 acres of a 9.44 acre citrus grove. To the north, south, east, and west of the subject property are citrus groves zoned A-1 Agricultural District. Further north, are three single-family residences. East of the subject property, across 58th Avenue, is the Greenleaf Subdivision zoned RS -1, Single -Family Residential District (up to 1 unit/acre). The presence of these single-family residences, and the subdivision to the east.) indicate a trend toward the development of single-family residences in this area. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as RR -1, Rural Residential 1 (up to one unit per two and one-half acres). This district provides a buffer between agricultural areas and residential development, and protects agricultural lands from growth pressures. The proposed RFD zoning is in conformance with the RR -1, Rural Residential 1 land use designation, and eventually will provide a buffer between the agricultural land to the west and the residential development to the east as the trend continues to rezone more land in this area from A-1, Agricultural District, to RFD. 20
