SOUK 90 PA, 741 <br />CONCLUSION <br />Surrounded by a 130.3 acre regional shopping center and abutting a <br />major road, the subject property is more appropriate for commercial <br />uses than for residential uses. Based on the analysis, staff has <br />determined that the requested land use designation and zoning <br />district are compatible with surrounding areas, consistent with the <br />comprehensive plan, meet all concurrency criteria, will have no <br />negative impacts on environmental quality, and meet all applicable <br />land use designation amendment and rezoning criteria. <br />For these reasons, staff supports the request to change the site's <br />land use designation and zoning district. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the analysis, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission <br />recommend that the Board of County Commissioners transmit this land <br />use amendment to DCA and request DCA and all reviewing agencies to <br />conduct a full review of the amendment. <br />Community Development Director Robert Keating reviewed the <br />Comp Plan amendment process, advising that this is the first public <br />hearing before the Board of County Commissioners on this land use <br />amendment request. If the Board approves the transmittal of this <br />application to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) in <br />Tallahassee for their 90 -day review, a second and final public <br />hearing will be scheduled to consider any comments made by the DCA <br />and whether to adopt an ordinance amending the Comp Plan by <br />redesignating the land use. If the Board denies the transmittal of <br />an application to the DCA, the application process will come to an <br />end. <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone <br />wished to be heard in this matter. <br />Attorney Bruce Barkett appeared for the applicant to answer <br />any questions. <br />Attorney Barkett commented that we will miss Commissioner <br />Bird's common sense and sense of fair play. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to be heard in this <br />matter. There being none, she closed the public hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously adopted <br />Resolution 96-142 (Baldwin) approving the <br />transmittal of a proposed amendment to the Indian <br />River County Comprehensive Plan to the State of <br />Florida Department of Community Affairs for its <br />review. <br />NOVEMBER 12, 1996 76 <br />
