DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Ralmar Associates,- Inc., is requesting to rezone approximately 26.2 acres located on the north side of 16th Street and the east side of Kings Highway from A-1, Agricultural District, to RS -6, Single -Family Residential District. The applicant intends to develop this property for a single-family detached subdivision. On July 24, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 -to -0 to deny this request. The Commission gave as their reasons for denial that this area was probably incorrectly designated LD -2 on the Comprehensive Plan based on the low-density development of the area and that the proposed zoning would allow higher density residential development that is not in character with the neighborhood. The applicants formally appealed this decision on July 25, 1986. 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 contains a citrus grove. North of the; subject property, across the Main Relief Canal, is a.. -power substation, a restaurant, and a single-family house zoned CG, General Commercial District, and a commercial subdivision being developed in a CL, Limited Commercial District. East of the subject property are single-family residences and a citrus grove - zoned RS -6. South of the subject property, across 16th Street, is Kingswood Estates, a single-family subdivis-ion_ under development zoned RS -3, Single -Family Residential District. west of the subject property, across Kings Highway, are citrus groves zoned A-1. In addition, the subject property surrounds a single-family house on three sides. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and the land east of it as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre). The land north of the subject property is part of the 160 acre Kings Highway and State Road 60 Commercial Node. The land south of the subject property is designated as LD -1, Low -Density Residential I (up to 3 units/acre). The land west of the subject property is designated as RR -1, Rural Residential 1 (up to 1 unit/2.5 acres) . The proposed RS -6 zoning is in conformance with the LD -2 land use designation and is consistent with the RS -6 zoning to the east of the subject property. Transportation System The subject property has direct access to 16th Street, a paved road classified as a secondary collector street on the Thoroughfare Plan. Moreover, the subject property has indirect access to Kings Highway, a paved road classified as an arterial street on the Thoroughfare Plan. The maximum development of the subject property under RS=6 zoning could generate up to 917 average annual daily trips (AADT). Both 16th Street and Kings Highway function at level -of -service "A" and this additional traffic would not lower this level -of -service. 18 BOOK 65 FnUF 555
