Currently , there are ± 164 . 1 acres , in 3 separate tracts , in the county that meet the above criteria. Additionally , the proposed amendment places the following special regulations on T designated land : Caribbean Fruit Fly host plants are prohibited . When platting lots in residential projects , the land owner must place a statement on the plat and on the deed of each lot . That statement must inform the lot buyer of the Florida Right to Farm Act , and that active farm operations occur nearby . BACKGROUND On July 11 , 2000 , the Board of County Commissioners considered a request by Gerald Clontz to amend the comprehensive plan future land use map designation of his property from AG- 1 , Agricultural - 1 ( up to 1 rmit/5 acres ) , to M- 1 , Medium- Density Residential- 1 ( up to 8 units/acre) ; and to expand the urban service area to include his property . Although the Board denied the request by a 5 to 0 vote , the Board indicated a desire to "find some relief for Mr . Clontz . " The Board also acknowledged that, because the circumstances affecting the Clontz property were similar to the circumstances affecting many other properties in the county , action taken on the Clontz property would have countywide implications . For those reasons , the Board instructed staff to continue to study the issue and present alternatives to the Board . Those alternatives were presented to the Board and discussed at a special workshop meeting held on October 9 , 2000 . At the October 9" workshop , staff presented several land use and urban service area alternatives . In addition to staff' s alternatives , Mr. Clontz ' s attorney , Michael O ' Haire , presented a proposal to the Board for creating a " transitional " area for land meeting certain criteria. Attachment 2 is the specific proposal presented by Mr. O ' Haire . By increasing the number of residential units that could be built on property that meets certain criteria, Mr. O ' Haire ' s proposal gave relief to Mr . Clontz . Specifically , the proposal was to establish a new "T , Transitional Residential" land use designation for property that meets the following criteria : 1 ) The property is currently designated AG- 1 ; 2 ) The property abuts the urban service area ; 3 ) The property abuts a commercial/industrial node ; 4) The property fronts on an arterial road ; 5 ) Utility lines for both water and sewer are available at the property boundary ; and 6) The property is at least 20 acres in size . As presented, Mr . O ' Haire ' s proposed land use designation would have allowed land to be rezoned to a zoning district that permits densities of up to 1 unit/acre or, if developed as a Planned Development ( PD ) , up to 3 units/acre . Mr. O ' Haire ' s proposal also included expanding the urban service area to include T designated land . Recognizing that such a proposal needed technical analysis , the Board instructed staff to review , analyze , and " clean- up " the proposal ; and report back to the Board .
