On January 29, 2020, Hawk's Nest Golf Course (The Moorings Club) attorney Kevin Barry <br />provided a letter requesting that CEMEX restrict uses on the property and consider selling Subject <br />Property #3 to The Moorings Club (Attachment 11). While the County cannot conditionally rezone <br />a property to remove uses allowed in the proposed zoning districts, the property owners may <br />choose on their own to place restrictions on the properties. Notwithstanding, County staff's <br />original recommendation to approve the applicant's request as presented to the PZC remains <br />unchanged. <br />Potential Impact on Environmental Quality <br />Subject Property 1 is a partially developed/disturbed site currently being partially used by the <br />CEMEX facility. Subject Property 2 contains a lake and associated vegetation related to the old <br />Jenkins Sand Mining operation. Subject Property 3 is a vegetated site. Any proposed removal of <br />native trees on either of the properties associated with site development will be subject to county <br />tree protection requirements, including mitigation of any specimen trees removed, if applicable. <br />The properties are not designated as environmentally important or environmentally sensitive by <br />the comprehensive plan, and according to Flood Insurance Rating Maps the properties are not <br />located in a flood zone. Development of the site is anticipated to have little or no impact on <br />environmental quality. For those reasons, no adverse environmental impacts are anticipated as a <br />result of rezoning the properties to IG, CH, and CG. <br />CONCLUSION <br />The requested IG, CH, and CG zoning districts are compatible with the surrounding area and are <br />consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Located in an area <br />deemed suitable for commercial and industrial uses, including IG, CH, and CG district uses, the <br />subject properties meet all applicable criteria to be rezoned as proposed. Further, rezoning from <br />to the proposed zoning districts will make the zoning consistent with the properties CII future land <br />use designation. For those reasons, staff supports the request. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the analysis, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the Board <br />of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone Subject Property 1 from A-1 to IG, <br />Subject Property 2 from A-1 to CH, and Subject Property 3 from IG to CG. <br />89 <br />
