FEB 24 198'i' BOOK 67 P4;F 411 DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The County is initiating a request to rezone -approximately 175 acres located south of 130th Street -(Gibson Street) and east of 80th Avenue (Estes Street) in Roseland from A-1, Agricultural District (up to .2 units/acre), RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre), and RMH-6, Mobile Home Residential District (up to 6 units/acre), to ROSE -4, Roseland Residential District (up to 4 units/acre). On November 18, 1986, the Board of County Commissioners adopted the ROSE -4 district. The.

On January 8, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 -to -0 to recommend approval of rezoning all 175 acres.
