K a ng, CP THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Planning & Dev lopment Director FROM: �i Rchard Shearer, REFERENCES: Chief, Long -Range Planning Grall Memo It is requested that the data herein presented be given formai consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of February 17, 1987. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Bernard and Margaret Grall, the owners, are requesting to amend the Comprehensive Plan by redesignating approximately 5 acres located 700 feet west of 74th Avenue on the South side of State Road 60 from MD -1, Medium -Density Residential 1 (up to 8 units/acre), to Commercial, and to rezone this property from RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to -6 units/ acre) ,_ to OCR, Office, Commercial and Residential District. On September 11, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 -to -0 to recommend approval of both -of these requests. The applicants are proposing to develop this property for a professional office complex. On October 21, 1986, the Board of County Commissioners voted 4 -to -0 to authorize transmittal of this Comprehensive Plan amendment request to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for a required 90 day review period. On January 12, 1987, the Planning Department received comments from the DCA relative to these Comprehensive Plan amendment applications. The DCA's comments on this request are as follows: "CPA -077 through CPA -079: This application 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." On January 13, 1987, the Board of County Commissioners adopted the PRO, Professional Office zoning district. The PRO district could be utilized for the subject property without amending the Comprehensive Plan. 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. 35 _ gym,
