o ORC Report <br />Consistent with state regulations, DCA reviewed the proposed <br />amendment and prepared an Objections, Recommendations and Comments <br />(ORC) Report, which planning staff received on May 231 1994. The <br />DCA ORC Report (attachment 7) contains two objections to this <br />proposed amendment. These objections relate to inconsistencies <br />between the proposed amendment and provisions in the County <br />Comprehensive Plan, state law (Rules 9J-5 and 9J-11, F.A.C., and <br />Chapter 163, F.S.), the State Comprehensive Plan, and the <br />Comprehensive Regional Policy Plan. <br />Specifically, -DCA cited the following objections: <br />• The proposed amendment is not supported by adequate and <br />relevant data and analysis which demonstrates that the <br />proposed commercial land use designation is necessary to <br />accommodate the needs of the projected population. Rules 9J- <br />5.005(2), 9J -5.006(2)(c), 9J-5.006(4) and 9J -11.006(1)(b)5., <br />F.A.C. <br />• The proposed amendment is not supported by relevant and <br />appropriate data and. analysis which demonstrates that <br />endangered vegetation on the site will be protected consistent <br />with Conservation Element objectives 6 and 7 and their <br />supporting policies. Rule 9J -5.013(2)(b)3., (2)(c)3., <br />(2)(c)5. and (2)(c)6., F.A.C. <br />The Board of County Commissioners is now to decide whether or not <br />to adopt the requested land use designation and zoning district. <br />Existing Land Use Pattern <br />The subject property contains several land uses. Largely devoted <br />to citrus, the property includes the vacated Whistlewood <br />subdivision, as well as several residences located along the S.R. <br />60 frontage. As depicted on attachment 4, the property has two <br />zoning designations. The western 1300 feet and the area between <br />the Whistlewood and Wallace Acres subdivisions to a depth of <br />approximately 500 feet from S.R. 60 are zoned A-1. The remainder <br />is zoned RM -6. <br />Near 66th Avenue, property to the north, across 26th Street is <br />planted in citrus and zoned A-1. Further east, land is zoned RS -3, <br />Single -Family Residential District (up to 3 units/acre), and <br />contains undeveloped land, single-family residences and the Pine <br />Metto Park subdivision. <br />Between the subject property and 26th Street, land is -zoned A-1 to <br />a distance of 1300 feet east of 66th Avenue and planted in citrus. <br />East of this area, property is zoned RM -6, but is largely <br />undeveloped. Much of this area consists of wetlands. A narrow <br />portion of land along 26th Street is zoned A-1. There are also <br />several residences in this area. Northeast of the subject property <br />to 58th Avenue, property is zoned RS -6, Single -Family Residential <br />District (up to 6 units/acre). This area contains a church and the <br />Rivera Estates subdivision. Rivera Estates contains approximately <br />72 lots and is substantially built out. The remainder of the area <br />to the east of the subject property is undeveloped and zoned RM -6 <br />and CG. A bank is located at the corner of 58th Avenue and S.R. <br />60. The east side of 58th Avenue is occupied by the Ryanwood <br />Square Shopping Center. This 108,000 square foot shopping center <br />contains a grocery store, drug store and smaller specialty service <br />establishments similar to those found in neighborhood or small <br />community type shopping centers.
