DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Edward Smith and Mary Marsha Lucas, the owners, are requesting to rezone approximately 20.37 acres located on the north side of 69th Street (North Winter Beach Road) and west of the Lateral "G" Canal from RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre) to RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre). On February 26, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 2 -to -2 to deny this rezoning request. The Commission based their decision on the fact that they felt a rezoning to a multiple -family zoning district was inappropriate due to the single-family residential character of the area. The: Commission also felt that this request was premature. The applicants have appealed this decision.

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.
