Despite only having advertised for the IRCHA tract, staff presented the entire shaded area site depicted on Attachment 4 to the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration. Because of the advertising issue, however, the Planning and Zoning Commission could formally act only on the IRCHA site. At its meeting of October 22, 1992, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 to 1 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone the subject property (IRCHA tract) to RM -10. The Planning and Zoning Commission also recommended that a county - initiated rezoning be undertaken to square -off the zoning boundary. Existing Land Use Pattern The subject property is zoned RS -6, Single -Family Residential District and is vacant, uncleared land. To the east is a five acre parcel containing one single-family home. This area is also zoned RS -6. North of the subject property, across the H-2 Canal and 49th Street, is a large tract of vacant, A-1 zoned land. The area west of the subject property is zoned RM -10 and contains the Victory Park residential development and Gifford Garden Apartments. The Victory. Park residential development was developed by, and is owned and managed by, the IRCHA. To the south are six parcels that border the subject property. These parcels are between 1/3 and 3/4 of an acre in size and are zoned RS -6. Three of the parcels contain single-family homes, two are vacant, and one contains a non -conforming, multiple -family building. Future Land Use Pattern The subject property and land to the south, east, and west are designated M-21 Medium -Density Residential on the county future land use map. The M-2 designation permits residential densities up to 10 units/acre. Land north of the subject property is designated L-21 Low -Density Residential. The L-2 designation permits residential densities up to 6 units/acre. Environment The subject property consists primarily of undeveloped pine flatwoods. In the northwest quadrant of the subject property, there is a ±1.5 acre isolated freshwater wetland with a small central pond. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory Maps (1984) characterize the wetland as a "persistent palustrine (freshwater) wetland, permanently flooded, partially drained".
