Nearing oL°/4 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 October 13, 1987. - DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The Fellsmere Development Corp., for itself and on behalf of Mr. Carson Platt, has requested the rezoning of two parcels of property from A-1, Agricultural District (up to 1 unit/5 acres) to CG, General Commercial District. The subject parcels consist of a 45 acre tract of land and a 5 acre strip of the abandoned Fellsmere Railroad right-of-way which bisects the larger tract. The subject parcels are situated at the northwest corner of the I-95/C.R. 512 Interchange. The 4*5 acre tract surrounds a 50 acre parcel under the same ownership which is currently zoned CG, and the strip of abandoned railroad right-of-way divides the majority of these two parcels. The applicants intend to develop the entire 100 acres for commercial use. On August 27, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 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 site is currently vacant. The property north and west of the subject site is vacant and zoned A-1. The subject site surrounds vacant property zoned CG. To the south and east of the subject site is vacant property zoned A-1. Future Land Use Pattern The subject site lies within the I-95/C.R. 512 Commercial/Industrial node as does the parcel it surrounds. The property north and west has a land use designation of AG, Agriculture (allowing up to 1 unit/5 acres). The property east across I-95 and south across C.R. 512 also lies within the node. Transportation System The site will have access only to C.R. 512. At the time of development of this site in conjunction with the 50 acres currently zoned CG, a substantial impact can be anticipated on 18
