7 was unable to be contacted by phone and did not respond to the letter which was sent to the property owners to gather their opinions. While most of the property owners indicated either approval of or no objection to rezoning the shaded area depicted in Attachment 2, the process of contacting those owners was time consuming. Because of advertising deadlines, staff had to advertise for the IRCHA rezoning public hearing prior to receiving responses from all affected property owners. Consequently, staff proceeded with the required legal advertising, identifying only the IRCHA tract as the subject property. Despite having advertised only for the IRCHA tract, staff also presented the shaded area site depicted on Attachment 4 to the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration along with the IRCHA tract. 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 the IRCHA's request to rezone its property to RM -10. The Planning and Zoning Commission also recommended that a county -initiated rezoning be undertaken to square -off the zoning boundary. At its meeting of December 8, 1992, the Board of County Commissioners voted 5 to 0 to rezone the IRCHA's property. The Board of County Commissioners also authorized staff to initiate a rezoning to square -off the zoning boundary. Consistent with the Board's directive, staff initiated a rezoning for the subject property. On January 28, 1993, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners square -off the zoning boundary and rezone the subject property from RS -6 to RM -10, as recommended by staff.
