DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS George Beuttell, an agent for Isabelle Beuttell, the owner, is requesting to amend the Comprehensive Plan by redesignating 150 acres located south of 8th Street, one-half mile west of 82nd Avenue, north of 4th Street, and east of 90th Avenue from AG, Agricultural (up to 1 unit/5 acres), to LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (up to 3 units/acre). On September 11, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request. 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 being used as a sod farm. North of the subject property, across 8th Street, is undeveloped land zoned A-1. East of the subject property is the West County Sub -Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant and citrus groves zoned A-1. South of the subject property, across 4th Street is a citrus grove zoned A-1. West of the subject property is a single-family residence and vacant land zoned A-1 and I-95. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and the land east, south and west of it as AG, Agricultural (up to 1 unit/5 acres). The land north of the subject property is designated as MD -1, Medium -Density Residential 1 (up to 8 units/acre). Since the Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1982, there -have -been -significant changes in this area. Since 1982, the County has constructed. a wastewater treatment plant adjacent to the subject property to. service the State Road 60 corridor. Moreover, in July of 1986, the County amended the Comprehensive Plan to redesignate approximately 80 acres of land located one mile south of the subject property from AG to RR -2, Rural Residential 2 (up to 1 unit/acre). Based on these changes and the fact that the land north of the subject property is designated as MD -1, the AG land use designation is no longer appropriate for -the subject property. Transportation System The subject property has direct access to- 90th Avenue and 8th Street (classified as secondary collector streets on the thoroughfare plan), and to 4th Street (classified as a primary collector street). The maximum development of the subject property under RS -3 zoning could generate up to 3,150 average annual daily trips. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area. BOOK � OCT 1 196 31
