c ,Sp 15 IS67 Boon 69 PdrE`461 TO: The Honorable Members DATE: September 2, 1987 FILE: of the Board of County Commissioners DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: X L,SUBJECT: JOHN CACHES REQUEST TO Robert . Kea l g, _ P REZONE 3.7 ACRES FROM Planning & Dev lopm t Director CL, LIMITED COMMERCIAL TO CG, GENERAL COMMERCIAL FROM: David C. Nearing, h&41 REFERENCES: Staff Planner, 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 September 15, 1987. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Mr. John Calmes, acting as agent for Hale Groves, Inc., has requested to rezone 3.7 acres of property from CL, Limited Commercial to CG, General Commercial. The subject site is the location of the Hale Groves packing house and sales facility, located on the east side of U.S. 1 approximately one mile north of C.R. 512. Because packing houses are not a permitted use in the CL zoning district, the packing house portion of the facility is currently considered a legally nonconforming use. Because the use is nonconforming, it is not possible to expand or add to the facility. Packing houses are, however, allowed as special exception uses in the CG district. Hale Groves is requesting this rezoning in order to construct an addition to the packing house. On August 13, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of this request. 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. Existing Land Use Pattern The subject site currently contains a retail sales and packing house facility. To the north of the site are groves zoned CL. To the south of the site is a single-family residence and retail shops zoned CL. East of the site are groves zoned RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre). West of the site across U.S. 1 are the Hale Groves office facilities and groves zoned CG, General Commercial. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject site and the land north, south, and west as MXD, Mixed Use District. The land east of the subject site has a land use designation of LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (allowing up to 6 units/acre). The requested rezoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan, and with the existing CG zoning west across U.S. 1. 24
