REFERENCES: Staff Planner, Long -Range Planning Co. Int. Hobart Memo 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 The Planning Department is initiating a request to rezone approximately 180 acres of Hobart Park located east and west of 58th Avenue (Kings Highway), and north of 77th Street, from RS -3, Single -Family Residential District (up to 3 units/acre), and RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre), to A-1, Agricultural District (up to 1 unit/5 acres) . Currently, approximately 31 acres of the park lying east of 58th Avenue are zoned RS -6; 149 acres lying west of 58th Avenue are zoned RS -3, and approximately 479 acres (the remainder of the park) are zoned A-1. It is the County's intent to place park uses within these areas. Since public parks and recreation areas are a use requiring an administrative permit in the RS -3 and RS -6 zoning districts, and a permitted use in the A-1 district, the A-1 district is considered the most suitable for this use. On May 8, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS In this section an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented. The analysis will include a description of the.current and future land uses of the site and surrounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and utilities systems, and any significant impacts on environmental quality. Existinq Land Use Pattern The subject property contains Hobart Park and a County solid waste transfer station. For that portion of the subject property located east of 58th Avenue, the surrounding land uses are vacant land to the north, and park land to the west, east and south. For that portion of the subject property west of 58th Avenue, the surrounding land uses are groves to the north; vacant land, scattered single-family residents, and agri- cultural activities to the west, and vacant land and the Indian River Highlands Subdivision containing single-family lots to the south. 24
