Fr - BOOK 100 MU • The future use of this land has already been discussed at numerous public hearings and public meetings, including Land Acquisition Advisory Committee meetings and other meetings regarding the subject land use amendment and rezoning requests. For those reasons, staff feels that it would be appropriate to hold the second rezoning public hearing at 9:05 a.m. on April 1, 1997. That is the first Board of County Commissioners meeting that meets the state requirement of at least 10 days between the first and second hearings. CONCLUSION Based on the analysis, staff has determined that the proposed amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan, compatible with all surrounding land uses, will cause no adverse impacts on the provision of public services, and will positively impact the environment. Finally, DCA's sufficiency determination of the county's EAR addresses the one ORC Report objection. For these reasons, staff supports the request. Based on the analysis, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request to redesignate the subject property to C-1. Staff also recommends that the Board of County Commissioners hold the second rezoning public hearing at 9:05 a.m., at the regular commission meeting of April 1, 1997. Community Development Director Bob Keating advised that this is one of the five items considered by Planning and Zoning on September 26, 1996 and submitted to the Board for approval on November 21, 1996. All amendments were submitted to the Department of Community Affairs on January 30, 1997 and the DCA issued its Objections, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) Report on each amendment. The DCA filed one objection, that the County could not amend its Comp Plan until its EAR (Evaluation and Appraisal Report) was approved. On February 24, 1997 the DCA determined that the County's EAR was sufficient. The Board is now allowed to take action on each amendment. Director Keating continued that the redesignation of the land use will be decided at today's meeting. However, the rezoning portion must be submitted to a second public hearing which must be held after 5:00 p.m. unless 4 of the 5 commissioners vote to hold the hearing at a regular meeting. Staff is recommending that this hearing be held on April 1, 1997 at the Board's regular meeting at 9:00 a.m. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, she closed the public hearing. MARCH 189 1997 48 M M
