890K 102 PAGE 259 This is a request to rezone approximately 17.5 acres located at the southwest corner of 90th Avenue and 26th Street. The request involves rezoning the subject property, owned by Jacquelyn S. Reed, as Trustee, from A-1, Agricultural District (up to 1 unit/5 acres) to RM -8, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 8 units/acre). The purpose of the request is to secure the zoning necessary to develop the site, consistent with its comprehensive plan land use designation, at a greater residential density. On June 26, 1997, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-1 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone the subject property to RM -8. The subject property and properties to the north and west consist of agriculturally zoned wooded areas. A 100 foot wide canal right- of-way abuts the site's north boundary. West of the subject property is Paradise Park, Unit 3. That subdivision, which appears never to have been cleared, was platted prior to the existence of zoning regulations in the county and has not been developed. Thus, it contains no houses, or infrastructure such as roads and utility lines. East of the subject property, across 90th Avenue, is Paradise Park, Unit 2, which is zoned RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre). Paradise Park, Unit 2 contains some infrastructure and houses. Abutting the subject property on the south is a wooded area zoned RM -8. The subject property and properties to the east, west, and south are designated M-1, Medium -Density Residential -1, on the county future land use map. The M-1 designation permits residential uses with densities up to 8 units/acre. Land to the north of the site is outside the county's urban service area and is designated AG -1, Agricultural -1 on the county future land use map. The AG -1 designation permits agricultural uses and residential uses with densities up to 1 unit/5 acres. The subject property consists primarily of pine flatwoods that have been invaded by several species of exotic/nuisance vegetation. Based on a cursory review, the site does not appear to contain jurisdictional wetlands. The northern fringe of the property, however, appears to be within a zone "A" flood hazard area. The zone "A" flood hazard area indicates that a minimum base flood elevation has not been determined for that area. Potable water lines Avenue. Centralized within a half mile of August 12, 1997 extend to the subject property along 90th sanitary sewer lines extend along SR 60 to the site. 36
