Shearer, REFERENCES: Chief, Long -Range Planning It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of May 19, 1987. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Jack Campo, an agent for Richard Bolinger, trustee, is requesting to rezone 9.56 acres located on the north side of 8th Street and approximately one-quarter mile west of 82nd Avenue from A-1., Agricultural District (up to 1 unit/5 acres), to RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre). The applicant intends to develop this property for residential housing. On April 9, 1987 the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the applicant's original request to rezone this parcel to RM -8, Multi -Family Residential District (up to 8 units/acre). Staff recommended that this request be denied and instead that the site be rezoned to RS -6, Single -Family Residential (up to 6 units/acre). The Planning and Zoning Commission concluded that RM -8 was too high a density for this area due to the characteristics of the area and the existing densities' based on this determination they voted 7-0 to deny the request for RM -8. However, on a subsequent motion they voted 5-2 to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that the subject property be rezoned to RM -6. The applicants agreed to this decision. 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.
