APS a`' 9 Commissioner Scurlock noted that a 50 -foot buffer could cause a significant financial impact to the grove in terms of an extra row of trees. Commissioner Wheeler asked if this rezoning would allow a packing house on this property, and Director Keating said it would not allow a packing house, only general farming or pasture land. Director Keating pointed out that a 50 -foot buffer is required when a subdivision is built next to an existing agriculture use but this is the opposite situation and staff is recommending initiation of an LDR amendment to require groves proposed within the urban service area and adjacent to a residential subdivision to provide a buffer. Commissioner Scurlock felt the 50 -foot buffer does not make any difference. Commissioner Bowman asked if there have been any complaints from the residents of the subdivision, and Director Keating responded that there have been some comments, but not many, because all but one of the existing houses are on the east side of the road. Chairman Eggert noted this was an old citrus grove which had been partially cleared. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, she closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously adopted Ordinance 92-08 amending the zoning ordinance and accompanying zoning map from RS -3 to A-1 for the property generally located on the south side of 9th Street S.W. (Oslo Road), west of 43rd Avenue as recommended by staff. Chairman Eggert clarified, and the Board members confirmed, that no action be taken to initiate an LDR amendment to require groves proposed within the urban service area and adjacent to a residential subdivision to provide a buffer. 44
