Fr__ -1 JUN 15 19911 BOOK 89 893 determined Uhat the environmental impacts of development of the subject property will be the same under either the current CG zoning or the requested OCR zoning. Appropriateness of the OCR Zoning District As part of the W.E. Geoffrey subdivision,, the subject property has historically been used for residential development. The completion Of U.S. #1 and Old Dixie Highwayl howevers separated the subject property from the rest of the subdivision. This "carving out" of the subject property created an areal between U.S. #1 and Old Dixie Highwayf that is appropriate for commercial development. Generally,, the existing CG zoning is appropriate for the subject property. In circum tances such as that of the subject propertyl it is assumed that non -conforming residences will eventually convert to commercial uses. With respect to the subject propertyp the adjacent roadways provide convenient access and are considered assets to the retail uses for which the CG zoning district is intended. However, in this case, the OCR zoning district is also appropriate. The OCR zoning district allows both commercial uses to develop and existing residential uses to continue. Furthermorel the OCR zoning district is compatible with the residential areas east of the subject property, as well as commercial uses north of the subject property. For these reasonst the OCR zoning district is appropriate for the subject property. Conclusion The requested zoning is compatible with the surrounding areal consistent with the goalso objectives, and policies of the comprehensive planl and meets all applicable concurrency criteria. The subject property is located in an area deemed suitable for a mix of office, restricted commerciall and residential uses. The request meets all applicable criteria. Staff supports the request - Recommendation Both staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone the subject property from CG to OCR. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously (4-0, Chairman Bird being absent) adopted Ordinance 93-25, amending the zoning ordinance and the accompanying zoning map from CG to OCR, for the property generally located at the southwest corner of U.S. #1 and 39th Street, as recommended by staff. 24
