M i M On September 11, 1986, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 -to -1 to recommend approval of the original land use amendment and the rezoning requests. On October 21, 1986, the Board of County Commissioners voted 4 -to -0 to rezone approximately 250 acres located between 65t:. Street and 69th Street from the Lateral G Canal to 58th Avenue, and a 600 foot deep strip of land located on the north side of-- 69th f69th Street on the east side of the Lateral G Canal from RS -6 to RS -3. The Board also rezoned 35.4 acres, located adjacent to the west side of the South Winter Beach Road Industrial Node, fro:a RS -6 to RM -6. The Board also amended the original land use plan amendment application to coincide with the area which was down -zoned from RS -6 to RS -3 (see Figure 3). On January 12, 1987, the Planning Department received comments from the State of Florida Department of Community Affiars pursuant to Section 163.3184, Florida Statues. These comments follow: "CPA -081: We have noted the comparatively controversial nature of this application regarding the redesignation o- residential acreage in the Winter Beach area. The various issues of the controversy - impacts on the Sandridge____`_ recharge capability, lack of specific plans for water and. sewer service to the area, home -owner concerns for property values, etc. - have been widely discussed and debated in public hearings and workshops, and citizen participation i. the process has been commendable. In reviewing the me=-ts of the application,_ however, we find no statutcr:: _-requirements nor comprehensive plan specifications which would favor one solution over another in the Winter Beac:: proposal. That being the case, it would seem that the Bc:-r of County Commissioners has proposed an acceptable compromise in its decision of October 23 to amendte application. The amended application, in our vi..e=.Y, accomodates both the _Winter Beach Progressive Leagu='s desire for RS -3 down_zoning and the planning stf = a's original recommendation to retain the LD -2 designation in the entire area. -r'- With regard`to 'acfual� development o"the"red�nt.--- areas, it sould be pointed out that, irrespective of the Boards final decision, existing environmental rules may .preclude building up to the maximum allowable density unless adequate sewer systems are in place." 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 envir--n- mental quality.
