The second purpose of this request is to ensure that the land will continue to be developed solely with single-family homes. While the existing RM -6 zoning allows both single- and multiple -family structures, the proposed RS -6 zoning would only allow single-family units. On August 27, 1992, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone the subject property to RS -6. Existinq Land Use Pattern The subject property is zoned RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District, and -is vacant cleared land. Properties to- the north, south, and west of the subject property are also zoned RM -6. The property to the north of the subject property is developed with older, mostly single-family homes. Bordering the subject property on the south is Phase 1 of Colonial Gardens, a subdivision of mostly new, single-family homes. The land west of the subject property is vacant. The parcel to the east of the subject property is zoned CL, Limited Commercial, and contains a small retail plaza. Future Land Use Pattern The subject property is currently designated L-2, Low -Density Residential - 2 (up to 6 units/acre) on the future land use map. Properties to the north, south, and west are also currently designated L-2. Land to the east borders Old Dixie Highway and is designated C/I, Commercial/Industrial Node. Environment According to county Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), the subject property is located in a Zone X; this indicates that the property is outside of the 100 - year floodplain. No wetlands exist on the subject property. Vegetation on the property consists of remnant sand pine scrub. Other native vegetation was removed when the property was cleared in accordance with a county land clearing and tree removal permit that was issued in December, 1991. That land clearing occurred in conformance with development activity associated with an approved preliminary plat for the subject property. As allowed by the county's 10/15% upland native plant community set-aside requirement, the plat applicant paid $2,380 to the county as a fee - in -lieu mitigation option to the -required on-site preservation. This allowed the applicant to clear the property rather than preserving 10% of the t2.8 acres of xeric scrub documented on the site prior to clearing. Utilities and Services The site is within the Urban Service Area (USA) of the county. Sewer lines extend to the site from the City Sewer Plant. The South County Reverse Osmosis Plant provides potable water to the site. 15 OCT 13 1992 aooK S7.xx,5
