As part of the staff analysis, all policies in the comprehensive <br />plan were considered. Based upon this analysis, staff determined <br />that the proposed land use designation amendment is consistent with <br />the comprehensive plan. <br />Potential Impact on Environmental Quality <br />Agricultural operations are largely exempt from county <br />environmental permitting requirements. For this reason, land use <br />designation -changes from residential to agricultural usually have <br />'negative impacts on the environment. However, since the subject <br />property has already been disturbed and contains no environmentally <br />important areas, such as wetlands or native upland plant <br />communities, no negative environmental impacts associated with this <br />request are anticipated. <br />Conclusion <br />The proposed AG -1 land use designation is consistent with the <br />comprehensive plan, compatible with all surrounding land uses, and <br />will cause no adverse impacts on the environment or the provision <br />of public services. For these reasons, staff supports the request <br />to change the subject property's land use designation from L-1 to <br />AG -1. <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve <br />transmittal of this land use amendment to the Department of <br />Community Affairs. <br />Community Development Director Robert Keating advised that <br />staff recommends approval of this Comp Plan amendment request. <br />Chairman Bird opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone <br />wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, he closed the <br />Public Hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously adopted <br />Resolution 93-208, approving the transmittal of a <br />proposed land use amendment requested by Brewer <br />International, Inc. to the DCA for a full review. <br />65 <br />DEC - 71993 BOOK 91 PnE 167 <br />
