DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS This request is to amend the Comprehensive Plan to redesignate 164 . 1 acres from AG - 1 , Agricultural- I ( up to 1 unid5 acres ) , to T, Transitional Residential ( up to I unit/acre ; or up to 3 units/acre for Planned Development Projects ) ; and to expand the Urban Service Area (USA) to include those 164 . 1 acres . The subject properties consist of three non-contiguous sites . No rezoning is associated with this request . The purpose of this request is to provide relief to ownersof agriculturally designated land located adjacent to the USA, where that land, because of its proximity to urban development, can no longer feasibly be used for agricultural purposes . At the October 16 , 2001 , Board of County Commissioners meeting , the Board, prior to considering this land use amendment, will consider a text amendment that is closely related to this land use amendment. That text amendment involves the issue of whether or not to establish a new T land use designation. The Board cannot redesignate land to the T designation unless the Board first approves a text amendment establishing the T designation . This request is to redesignate three separate sites containing a total of 164 . 1 acres . The three sites are referred to as Subject Properties 1 , 2 , and 3 , and are depicted in Figures 1 through 6 . Subject Properties 1 , 2 , and 3 are related to the text amendment proposal creating the T designation because they are the only properties in the county that meet the T designation requirements identified in the text amendment proposal . Past Actions At each of the previous meetings associated with this land use amendment, several alternatives , including the proposed amendment, were presented by staff to the deliberating body . On April 5 , 2001 , the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 to 0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners deny the proposed land use amendment . On May 17 , 2001 , the Professional Services Advisory Committee (PSAC) voted 8 to 0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners choose an alternative that has since been eliminated by the Board . The PSAC recommended alternative would have expanded the urban service area and applied an urban land use designation to 892 acres (including the subject properties ) in the following three large corridors : 412 acres located on the west side of 58 " Avenue , between the Main Canal and 9 " Street, SW ; 400 acres located on the east side of 82nd Avenue, between 16" Street and 5" Street, SW ; and 80 acres located on the east side of 74" Avenue , between 9" Street, SW and 13" Street, SW. On June 5 , 2001 , the Board of County Commissioners voted 3 to 2 to transmit the proposed land use amendment to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA ) for its review . ORC Report Consistent with state regulations , DCA reviewed the proposed amendment and prepared an Objections , Recommendations and Comments ( ORC ) Report ( dated August 17 , 2001 ) , which planning staff received on August 20 , 2001 . The DCA ORC Report, Attachment 6 at the end of this staff report, does not contain any objections or comments relating to the proposed amendment. October 16 , 2001 116
