APP - 6 1993 BOOK 89 PA'U'E intent criteria, serves a necessary buffer function, provides a logical transition from commercial to residential uses, and provides a termination point for non-residential uses on this part of 43rd Avenue. Specific Requirements of the PRO District According to the County's Land Development Regulations, the specific requirements for PRO districts located in an area with a residential land use designation are: • the district must be located on an arterial or collector road; • the district must have a_maximum depth of 300 feet; and • the district must have a minimum size of five acres and a maximum size of 25 acres. However, the district may be reduced to 2.5 acres if it meets the following criteria: • The parcel abuts a commercial node; and • The parcel is located in a substantially developed area; and • The parcel is located in an area dominated by nonresidential uses. Staff has determined that the subject property meets these criteria. While the property is less than five acres in size, it is larger than -2.5 acres, is located adjacent to the S.R. 60/58th Avenue node, is located in a substantially developed area, and is located in an area dominated by non-residential uses. Conclusion It is staff's position that the request to rezone the subject Property to PRO is consistent with the comprehensive plan and the land development regulations, meets all concurrency requirements, will not negatively impact environmental quality, and is compatible with the surrounding area. Staff also feels that rezoning the subject property will encourage infill development and a more efficient use of land and public facilities. For these reasons, staff supports the request. Recommendation Based on its analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone the subject property from RS -3 to PRO. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. 32
