Boa 96 pAfJE 476 The applicant changed the configuration of Subject Property 4 in response to public comment. At the Planning and Zoning Commission, public hearing, several owners of residential property to the east raised objections to the redesignation of the northeastern tract of Subject Property 4. For that reason, the applicant has eliminated _ the northeastern tract, and moved those, 0.7 acres to the southwestern tract. The purpose of this request is to secure the necessary zoning and land use designation to allow commercial development on subject properties 2, 3 and 4. On April 271 1995, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-2 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners transmit the proposed land use amendment, with the exception of the northeastern tract of Subject Property 4, to the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for their review. On June 13, 1995, the Board of County Commissioners voted 5-0 to transmit the proposed land use amendment request to DCA for their review. Consistent with state regulations, DCA reviewed the proposed amendment and prepared an Objections, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) Report. The ORC Report, which planning staff received on September 5, 1995, did not contain any objections to the proposed amendment. The ORC Report did, however, contain one comment pertaining to the proposed amendment. That comment will be addressed in the analysis section of this staff report. In contrast to objections, comments cannot be used as a basis for finding an adopted amendment not in compliance. The Board of County Commissioners is now to decide whether or not to adopt the requested land use amendment. At this time, the Board must also act on the proposed rezoning Existing Lard Use Pattern Subject Property 1 Subject Property 1 is zoned IL and, except for approximately 1.6 vacant acres in the northwest part of the site, consists of an abandoned citrus grove. Land to the east, across 55th Avenue, is also zoned IL and contains Ron's Island Court Mobile Home Park, a legally established non -conforming use. The John's Island Club - West Golf Course, abutting the site on the north, as well as the wooded area to the west, are zoned RM -6. South of the western portion of the site, on RM -6 zoned property, is another legally established non -conforming mobile home park. East of that mobile home park and south of Subject Property 1 is a vacant wooded area. The northern part of that area is zoned IL, while the southern part is zoned CL. - Subject Property 2 Subject Property 2 is zoned A-1. Except for 1 storage building in the northwest corner, the site consists entirely of abandoned citrus grove. RM -6 zoned land borders the site on all sides except for the west, which is zoned CL.
