Additionally, building coverage for multiple -family <br />development on the site would be restricted to a maximum of 25% of <br />the lot, while a minimum of 40% of the site must be open, or green, <br />space.

The site has been cleared, and <br />'contains no environmentally important land, such as wetlands or <br />uplands. Therefore, development of the site is anticipated to have <br />little or no impact on environmental quality. For this reason, no <br />adverse environmental impacts associated with this request are <br />anticipated. <br />DCA Objections <br />As indicated in the Description and Conditions section of this <br />staff report, DCA did not have any objections to the proposed <br />amendment. <br />CONCLUSION <br />Based on the analysis, staff has determined that the requested land <br />use designation and zoning district are compatible with surrounding <br />areas, consistent with the comprehensive plan, meet all concurrency <br />criteria, will have no negative impacts on environmental quality, <br />and meet all applicable land use designation amendment and rezoning <br />criteria. The data and analysis demonstrate that the proposed <br />amendment will have an insignificant impact on the county's RAR. <br />Most importantly, the subject property is located in an area deemed <br />suited for medium -density multiple -family residential uses. For <br />these reasons, staff supports the request. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the analysis conducted, staff and the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve <br />this request to redesignate the subject property to M-1 and rezone <br />the subject property to RM -8. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br />6. <br />7. <br />8. <br />9. <br />Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation <br />Rezoning Application <br />Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation <br />Zoning Location'Map <br />Approved Minutes of the October 12, 1995 <br />Commissinn Meeting <br />Amendment Application <br />Location Map <br />Planning and Zoning <br />Approved Minutes of the November 21, 1995 Board of County <br />Commissioners Meeting <br />DCA's Objections, Recommendations, and Comments Report <br />Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation Amendment Ordinance <br />Zoning Ordinance <br />62 <br />March 19, 1996 <br />
