TO: The Honorable Members DATE: July 2, 1986 FILE: of the Board of County Commissioners DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: SUBJECT: VISTA PROPERTIES REQUEST TO AMEND Robert M. Keati g, A1`CP THE COMPREHENSIVE Planning & Development Director PLAN AND TO REZONE 7.4 ACRES TO CL, LIMITED COMMERCIAL FROM: REFERENCES: DISTRICT Richard Shearer VISTA REQUEST - Chief, Long -Range Planning RICH It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their special meetings of July 15 and July 29, 1986. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Vista Properties and Barnett Bank, the -owners, are requesting to amend the Comprehensive Plan by creating a ten (10) acre commercial node on the East side of U.S. 1 at the intersection of U.S. 1 and Vista Royale Boulevard and to rezone 5.69 acres from OCR, Office Commercial Residential District, and 1.735 acres from RM -10, Multiple -Family Residential District, to CL, Limited Commercial District. On September 21, 1983, the Board of County Commissioners denied a request to redesignate the South 'part of the property and some additional property to the East to commercial. However, the Board stated that they would like the staff to look at this request again at a later date for possible reconsideration. On March 13, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 -to -0 to recommend that a 10 acre commercial node be established at U.S. 1 and Vista Royale Boulevard. However, the Commission voted 5 -to -0 to deny the request to rezone 7.4 acres to CG because they felt that the CG district allowed d broad range of commercial uses that included uses imcompatible with the land uses adjacent to the subject property. The Commission did indicate that they felt some commercial uses would be appropriate at this location and suggested the CL district as an alternative to the requested CG district. Since the applicants would not amend their request to CL at the public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Commission denied the rezoning request. The applicants appealed this decision and then amended their application to request the CL zoning district. 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 is undeveloped. Immediately West of the subject property is Florida Federal Savings and Loan. Further West, across U.S. 1, is undeveloped land zoned CH, Heavy Commercial District. North of the subject property is a water treatment plant and part of the golf course zoned RM -10. East of the subject property is the golf course and clubhouse zoned RM -10. South of the subject property is a golf area and condominiums zoned RM -10. 23 BOOK. 65 FmIE 245
