This <br />request is to rezone approximately half of lot 24 of the Town <br />of Wauregan Subdivision (parcel 2) from CL, Limited Commercial <br />District to RM -6, Multi -Family Residential District (up to 6 <br />units/acre), and to rezone approximately half of lot 25 Town of <br />Wauregan Subdivision (parcel 1) from RM -6 to CL. These two <br />parcels are situated on U.S. 1 approximately 3/4"mile south of <br />Roseland Rd. <br />Purpose _ <br />As statedf-the purpose'of-this request is to correct a recently <br />discovered error in the County Zoning Atlas. The error was <br />discovered when a local realtor inquired into the correctness <br />of the location of the CL zoning involved in this request, in <br />relation to a parcel of property which he was representing. <br />The staff examined the location of the CL zoning in relation to <br />a retail shop which had been located at its present site for <br />many years prior to the adoption of the current Comprehensive <br />Plan in 1982. <br />The reasoning for the relationship between the CL zoning and <br />the retail center is a result of the purpose and intent of the <br />1982 plan. This plan stated that, since it was not the intent <br />of the plan, or the Board of County Commissioners to create <br />nonconformities, any existing commercial operation in existence <br />prior to the adoption of the plan shall be deemed conforming to <br />the plan. After the adoption of the plan in 1982, the staff <br />set about to make all land in the County consistent to the <br />plan. This was accomplished through creation of new zoning <br />districts and initiating various rezoning procedures. <br />In 1985, the county changed all residentially zoned land from <br />old residential designations to the current designations. In <br />January 1986, the county performed a rezoning which involved <br />all agricultural, commercial, and industrially zoned lands. As <br />in the first comprehensive rezoning, this action changed land <br />from old designations to those currently being used. In <br />certain areas where the commercial or industrial zoning was <br />determined to be inconsistent with the commercial and <br />industrial policies set forth in the comprehensive plan, the <br />zoning was changed from commercial or industrial to a <br />residential designation. <br />The methodology used in <br />industrial to residential <br />land to established nodal <br />surrounding land uses, and <br />facilitate this, an indept <br />identify where existing <br />were located.
