The State Road 60 corridor is one of the few areas which has the necessary facilities and services to support higher density development than is the norm in the county. The concurrency review of facilities for the proposed rezoning indicates that these public facilities and services are not presently constrained or likely to be constrained by the proposed rezoning. As with all development, a more detailed concurrency review will be conducted during development approval. CONCLUSION The proposed zoning meets the three part test of compatibility, consistency and concurrency. In addition, the rezoning would set the tone for other development in the.immediate area and encourage the maximum utilization of the land and public facilities. RECOMMENDATION Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone property to RM -8. Director Keating commented that this is a request to change to one of our higher densities, and he felt if there is any place for it, it is in this area. Commissioner Wheeler asked why we are recommending 8 units versus 6 when we have residential to the west and Attorney Bernie Grail has a residential estate near there. Director Keating explained that the Grail site is the first phase of his development and east of him is the Seald Sweet property. Staff's concept is that the higher density represented by the M-1 Land Use designation is more appropriate right along SR60 as opposed to when you get further back. The Chairman asked if anyone wished to be heard. There were none, and she thereupon closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Com- missioner Wheeler, Commissioner Scurlock voting in opposition, the Board by a 4 to 1 vote adopted Ordinance 90-13 approving rezoning of the subject 20 acres from RM -6 and A-1 to RM -8 as requested by James Meade.
