The land use designation amendment involves redesignating approximately 15.2 acres from L-1, Low -Density Residential -1 (up to 3 units/acre) to M-1, Medium -Density Residential -1 (up to 8 units/acre). The rezoning request involves changing ±30.3 acres, consisting of the ±15.2 acres to be redesignated and the adjacent ±15.1 acres to the east, from A-1, Agricultural District (up to 1 unit/5 acres) to RMH-8, Mobile Home Residential District (up to 8 units/acre). The subject property is located on the north side of 26th Street, approximately a quarter mile east of 74th Avenue.

On September 26, 1996, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-1 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners transmit the proposed land use amendment to the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for their review. The Board of County Commissioners is now to decide whether or not the subject request is to be transmitted to DCA for their review.
