the W.E. Geoffrey subdivision rezoning to OCR, and the rezoning to <br />RM -10 of several "out parcels" to the Housing Authority site that <br />are located in the 3800 block of 47th Street. <br />In staff's opinion, The RM -6 zoning of Phase 1 provides a typical <br />zoning transition between the commercial strip center on Old Dixie <br />Highway and the single-family area farther west. Thus j, the current <br />Colonial Gardens Phase 1 zoning is adequate and does not warrant <br />special action by the county. Instead of granting the request to <br />initiate a rezoningt the Board of County Commissioners could take <br />action at a later date on a rezoning request initiated by an <br />individual or group of individuals who own property in Colonial <br />Gardens Phase 1. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners deny the <br />request for a county -initiated rezoning of Colonial Gardens Phase <br />Commissioner Eggert believed that the County should pay for <br />rezoning only to correct an error or oversight in the Comprehensive <br />Land Use Plan. She suggested that the residents of the subdivision <br />group together to pay the cost of rezoning. <br />Director Boling responded that Ms. Garling's neighbors are in <br />support of rezoning, but they are not willing to contribute <br />anything towards the cost. <br />Commissioner Macht asked, and Community Development Director <br />Bob Keating explained that the zoning was consistent with the area <br />because those parcels were intended to be a phase-in between the <br />commercial and single-family parcels. However, it is permissible <br />for a developer to plat a parcel for a less intensive use without <br />having it rezoned. <br />Commissioner Adams felt that the developer should have had the <br />property rezoned, and he misled this person by saying she could <br />screen in her porch. <br />Deputy County Attorney Collins advised that the zoning is on <br />the face of the plat and there was no misrepresentation on the part <br />of the developer. <br />Ray Garling, owner of the subject property, indicated that she <br />cannot afford to pay the full cost for rezoning, and neither the <br />developer nor her neighbors want to contribute to the.cost. <br />Commissioner Macht asked whether the developer told her she <br />could screen in her porch. <br />37 <br />BOOK 8J N�U 836 <br />
