Goulet REFERENCES: Staff Planner, Long -Range Planning Hatch Memo It is requested that the data herein presented e given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of February 17, 1987. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Mr. Chauncy R. Hatch, Jr. is requesting to enlarge the Oslo Road/27th Avenue Commercial Node from 50 acres to 57 acres by redesignating approximately 7.1 acres from LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre), to Commercial and to rezone the subject property from RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre), to CL, Limited Commercial District. The subject property is located south of 5th Street S.W. and east of 27th Avenue. On September 11, 1986, the Planning- and Zoning Commission voted 5 -to -0 to recommend denial of this request. On October 21, 1986, the Board of County Commissioners voted 4 -to -0 to authorize staff to transmit the proposed land use amendment to the State for review. The Board also indicated that they would look favorably on the proposed amendment to enlarge the Oslo Road 27th Avenue Commercial Node to 57 acres. On January 12, 1987, the Planning Department received comments from the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs, pursuant to section 163.3184, Florida Statutes. These comments follow: CPA -077 through CPA -079: These applications to redesignate existing land uses to commercial use, as discussed in the staff comments, may well establish spot zoning and commercial strip development precedents not compatible with the county's established commercial node areas. However, if sufficient pressure for commercial expansion is.there, the properties in question could perhaps be accomodated as commercial sites if adequate buffering, ,infrastructure, and access routes are provided for." 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 presently undeveloped. There is vacant land and a Cumberland Farms convenience store, zoned CL, located south of the subject property at the northeast corner of Oslo Road and 27th Avenue. There are also several retail establishments and vacant land, zoned CL, located west of the 28
