�� BOOK 65 PACE 16S resulting plan entitled "The Winter Beach Small Area Plan and Precise Land Use Map", included an analysis of, existing conditions and a detailed land use proposal in the form of a Precise Land Use Map (PLUM). On September 24, 1985,.the Winter Beach Progressive League voted unanimously in favor of endorsing the plan and the PLUM. On October 10, 1985, the Planning and. Zoning Commission held a public hearing and voted 4 -to -0 to recommend that the Winter' Beach Small Area Plan and PLUM be adopted by the Board of County Commissioners as a general guide to future development in the Winter Beach Area. On November 13, 1985, the Board of County Commissioners voted 5 -to -0 to adopt the Winter Beach Small Area Plan and PLUM by Resolution No. 95-131. _ On February 13, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered two applications (Fopasclo Developers and Coastal Technology) to rezone property along North Winter Beach Road from RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre) and A-1, Agricultural District, to RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential (up to 6 units/acre). The residents of the Winter Beach area expressed concern at the possibility of multiple -family zoning extending further west than the existing 300 foot buffer to the west of the F.E.C.R.R. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 3 -to -0 to deny both of these requests. The commission based their decision on the fact that they felt a rezoning to multiple -family zoning was premature and that the existing 300 feet, of multiple -family zoning was adequate to buffer the light industrial district from the single-family district. They also felt_ that an increase in the amount of multiple -family zoning was not appropriate due to the single-family residential character of the surrounding area. Both applicants subsequently appealed these decisions. On April 2, 1986, the Board of County Commissioners granted a request to,withdraw the appeal of Fopasclo Developer's application to rezone 9 acres located on North Winter Beach Road from A-1, Agricultural District, to RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre). The Board mentioned that they would look more favorably on a request to rezone Fopasclo's property to RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre). Due to the controversy over the multiple -family rezoning applications, the Board directed staff to conduct additional analysis and reevaluate the Winter Beach PLUM. On April 9, 1986, Coastal Technology withdrew their appeal to the Board of County Commissioners to rezone 3.91 acres located on North Winter Beach Road from RS -6 to RM -6. On April 22, 1986, the planning staff held a workshop with the Winter Beach Progressive League to discuss revision of the Winter Beach PLUM. The staff presented two alternatives delineating single-family and multiple -family uses in addition to delineating maximum density. These alternatives were not,well received and the Progressive League made the recommendation that the area located between 71st Street (Cemet&ry Road) and South Winter Beach Road from the F.E.C.R.R. to Kings Highway should be redesignated to LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (up to 3 units/acre). They also felt this area should be rezoned to RS -3, Single -Family Residential District (up to 3 units/acre). On May 1, 1986, a joint workshop with the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners was held. The Planning Department again outlined the results of its analysis and presented the two alternatives it presented to the Winter Beach Progressive League on April 22, 1986. The Progressive League reemphasized that the area between 71st Street (Cemetery Road) and South Winter Beach Road located east of Kings Highway should be redesignated LD -1 and rezoned to RS -3 based on the 37
