Memo This is a request to redesignate ±26.4 acres 'from M-1, Medium -Density Residential -1 (up to 8 unitsiacre) to CII, Commercial/Industrial, while simultaneously redesignating a contiguous =26.4 acre tract from C/I, Commercial/Industrial, to C-1, Publicly Owned or Controlled Conservation (zero density). Unlike node expansion requests, the proposed amendment will not increase the amount of CT designated land in the county. Rather, this amendment would reconfigure the SR 60/I-95 C'I node. In contrast to node expansions which increase the overall land use density/intensity depicted on the future land use map, this redesignation will decrease land use densitviintensity. While the amount of CJI designated land will not change with this amendment, the redesignation will reduce the overall residential development potential by 211 units. Additionally, the proposed amendment will facilitate the enhancement, enlargement and preservation of an environmentally sensitive freshwater wetland. The property to be redesignated from C/I to C-1 is located between I-95 and the existing Horizon Outlet Center. That property will be referred to as Subject Property 1. The request also involves rezoning Subject Property 1 from the CG, General Commercial, District, to Con -1, Publicly Owned or Controlled Conservation District (zero density). While Subject Property 1 is not publicly owned, public control of the site will be secured through a conservation easement to the St. Johns River Water Management District. The property to be redesignated from M-1, Medium -Density Residential -1 (up to 8 units/acre) to C/I, Commercial/Industrial, is located approximately one half mile south of SR 60 and approximately one eighth of a mile west of I-95. This property will be referred to as Subject Property 2. The request involves rezoning Subject Property 2 from RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre) to the CG, General Commercial, District. There are r%vo purposes for this request. First, as referenced, the proposed amendment will facilitate enlarging, enhancing, and preserving an environmentally sensitive freshwater wetland located on Subject Property 1. This will be accomplished by changing the land use designation of Subject Property 1 from C/I to C-1. JUNE 291998 • -20- •
