a request is Future Land Use Policy 1.19 which permits commercial and industrial uses only in commercial/ industrial corridors and nodes. The proposed request is consistent with the commercial/industrial corridor policy. The Future Land Use Map adopted in February, 1990, adjusted the boundaries of the Hobart Road and US#1 Commercial/Industrial Corridor in this area. Previously, the commercial/industrial boundary extended 300 feet west of Old Dixie Highway without regard to existing lot lines, uses or streets. While this provided a clear line of land use delineation, it resulted in other problems. Individual lots and parcels with split zoning are not as likely to develop unless the configuration permits the reasonable development of the property. The new comprehensive plan recognized these shortcomings and adopted commercial boundaries along streets and lot lines. For the subject property, the original delineation bisected the property between residential and industrial land uses. The proposed request will change the zoning to make it consistent with the county's established land use designation. Concurrency for drainage, roads, solid waste and parks has been met with the proposed zoning. Since capacity for water and wastewater service is not available, the applicant has signed a developer's agreement to ensure that these facilities are provided. This is consistent with Future Land Use Policy 2.7, which requires development projects to maintain established levels of service. CONCLUSION The rezoning is part of the Hobart Road and US#1 Commercial/ Industrial Corridor and is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The subject property is currently bisected by two incompatible land uses; the east side contains an existing concrete plant and is industrially zoned, while the west side contains vacant, overgrown land and is residentially zoned. This situation restricts development of the property. Not only would rezoning the subject property unify the site under one zoning category; it would also serve to implement the comprehensive plan by making the subject property's zoning consistent with its land use designation. For these reasons, as well as the fact that the proposed request satisfies applicable compatibility, consistency and concurrency criteria, the staff support the subject request. RECOMMENDATION Based on the analysis performed, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone property to IG. Attachment 1. Application 2. Location Map 3.
