MCRAE, et. al., REQUEST TO AMEND THE <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN +/- 6.8 ACRES/REZONE +/- 4.3 ACRES <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular <br />.meeting of June 18, 1991. <br />DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS <br />This is,a request to amend the Comprehensive Plan and rezone <br />property. The subject property is located on the west side of <br />Indian River Boulevard, just north of the 4th Street and <br />U.S.Highway #1 intersection and is presently owned by Betty F. <br />McRae,Mr./Mrs. Thomas O. Fultz, Jr., Peggy Fultz Brinson and <br />Mr./Mrs.Charles B. Roach. The land use amendment includes a total <br />of 6.8 acres; however, the rezoning request includes only 4.3 <br />acres of the total 6.8 acres. <br />The request includes_changing the land use designation from Mr -2, - <br />Medium -Density Residential (up to 10 units per acre) to <br />Commercial/Industrial Area, and rezoning the property from RM -10, <br />Multi -Family Residential District (10 units/l acres) to CG, General <br />Commercial District. This request is considered an expansion of the <br />City of Vero Beach to South Relief Canal Commercial/ Industrial <br />Area. <br />On November 15, 1990, the Planning and Zoning Commission, acting as <br />the Local Planning Agency, conducted a public hearing for the <br />purpose of making a recommendation to the Board of County <br />Commissioners regarding this request. At that meeting the Planning <br />and Zoning Commission voted 5 to 0 to recommend denial of the <br />applicant's request. <br />On December 11, 1990, the Board of County Commissioners -voted 5 to <br />0 to transmit the above -referenced land use amendment to the <br />Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), and announced their _ <br />intention to hold a final public hearing concerning the amendment. <br />At that hearing, the Board requested and the applicant agreed to <br />reduce the proposed zoning for the subject property from CG to OCR <br />in order to provide a use transition from the property to the south <br />to the property to the north. <br />Planning staff received DCA's Objections, Recommendations, and <br />Comments (ORC) Report on April 22, 1991. The DCA ORC report <br />contained a number of substantive objections to this proposed <br />amendment. Identified as inconsistencies with state law (9J-5, FAC <br />and 163, FS) with the state comprehensive plan, and with the <br />comprehensive regional policy plan, these objections ranged from <br />node expansion without sufficient justification to an inadequate_ <br />public facility demand analysis. <br />N 18 I� 11 125 <br />AW <br />
