Nearing &M 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'27, 1987. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The County planning staff has initiated a request to the Comprehensive Plan to redesignate approximately 145 acres of land located in Winter Beach from LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (allowing up to 6 units/acre), to LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (allowing up to 3 units/acre). The subject property lies south of North Winter Beach Road, north of South Winter Beach Road, and east of the Lateral G Canal. On November 13, 1985, the Board of County Commissioners voted 5-0 to approve the Winter Beach Small Area Plan. After several attempts to rezone property lying within the boundaries of the small area plan were denied, the Board directed staff to reassess the small area plan. On July 23, 1986, the Board amended the Winter Beach Small Area plan for land between the FEC Railroad and 58th Avenue. On October 21, 1986, the Board rezoned approximately 250 acres of Winter Beach from RS -6 Single -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre) to RS -3, Single -Family Residential District (up to 3 units/acre). On February 17, 1987, the Board voted to amend the Comprehensive Plan for the previously mentioned 250 acres, redesignating it from LD -2 to LD -11 and directed staff to initiate a comprehensive plan amendment for the property involved in this request. On May 5, 1987, the Board approved a rezoning from RS -6 to RS -3 for the subject property. Additional actions are outlined in the attached chronology of events which have taken place in Winter Beach. On September 10, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of this request. The commission felt that the current LD -2 designation was appropriate for this area. 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.
