Director Keating noted that this item was controversial when <br />it came before the Board previously. The subject property is <br />just north of WalMart with Indian River Boulevard as its western <br />boundary, and the eastern boundary is the Kennedy Packing House. <br />This is a request to change from M-2 to commercial node and <br />rezone it. Initially the request was to rezone from RM -10 to CG, <br />but Attorney Warren Dill representing the applicant says there is <br />a mistake in the staff memo where it says the applicant agreed to <br />reduce the proposed zoning from CG to OCR to provide a use <br />transition. Mr. Dill recalled that during the transmittal <br />hearing, he and the applicant went into the hall to confer <br />together, and they came back and changed their request from CG to <br />CL. Director Keating agreed that there was a mistake in the <br />memo. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked if he was sure about that because <br />she knew she voted against the WalMart parking lot, and OCR she <br />would have voted for, but CL she would have problems with. <br />Asst. County Attorney Collins advised the reason this memo <br />is OCR is that the DCA was concerned about transition and he <br />thought it had been amended to OCR. When he called Mr. Dill to <br />check on this, Mr. Dill was not sure, but in checking the Minutes <br />of the transmittal hearing, it was determined the CG was amended <br />at the request of the Commission to CL. <br />Chairman Bird asked what staff is recommending - CL or OCR? <br />Director Keating stated that staff would recommend OCR. It <br />would provide more of a buffer and less of an impact on any uses <br />to the north. He continued that the DCA did have some strong <br />comments on this - particularly our 70% developed node expansion <br />policy, and we did meet that requirement, the node being over 80% <br />developed. Given that we have worked with the DCA on this and <br />they have agreed all of the changes we have made are acceptable, <br />staff would recommend approval of the proposed change in the Comp <br />Plan and the rezoning. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked if staff worked with the DCA on <br />OCR or CL, and Director Keating believed we told them it was OCR. <br />Attorney Warren Dill came before the Board representing the <br />applicant. He advised that the only concern they have at the <br />moment is the OCR versus CL. He stressed that the OCR did not <br />surface until last Thursday or Friday when he was talking to Mr. <br />Collins over the phone, at which time neither of them were sure <br />just what it was, and he didn't know that would be carried over <br />to this meeting. Mr. Dill believed the Minutes of the previous <br />Board meeting show very clearly that they went to CL. If <br />something else has been communicated to DCA, that was only since <br />Thursday or Friday of this week because this OCR has just <br />133 BOOK :J 01 L n t7, t) <br />� 1 1991 <br />
