The Board reviewed a Memorandum of June 24, 1998: TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator EP TMENT HEAD CONCURRENCE LOU— Robert M. Keating, Community Developme tit ctor THROUGH: Sasan Rohani, AICP � ' Chief, Long -Range Planning FROM: ' John Wachtel Senior Planner, Long -Range Planning DATE: Jane 24,1998 RE: Hale Indian River Groves, Inc., Request to Amend The Comprehensive Plan to Redesignate f2.7 Acres From C/I to L-2, and to Rezone Those t2.7 Acres From CL to RM -6; to Amend The Comprehensive Plan to Redesignate 4.7 Acres From L-2 to CA, and to Rezone Those 4.7 Acres from RM -6 to CG; and to Rezone t2.1 Acres From CL to CG PLAN AMENDMENT NUMBER: LUDA 98-05-0149 It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of July 7, 1998. This is a request to redesignate t2.7 acres from C/I, Commercial/Industrial, to L-2, Low -Density Residential -2 (up to 6 units/acre) while simultaneously redesignating a nearby t2.7 acre tract from L-2 to C/I. Unlike node expansion requests, the proposed amendment will not increase the amount of C/I designated land in the county. Rather, this amendment will reconfigure the US 1/CR 510 C/I node. The property to be redesignated from C/I to L-2 is the northernmost subject property depicted on attachments 3 and 4. That property will be referred to as Subject Property 1. In addition to changing the land use designation of Subject Property 1, the request also involves rezoning Subject Property 1 from the CL, Limited Commercial, District, to RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre). The property to be redesignated from L-2 to C/I is located just south and east of Subject Property 1. That property will be referred to as Subject Property 2. In addition to changing the land use designation of Subject Property 2, the request involves rezoning Subject Property 2 from RM -6 to the CG, General Commercial, District. The southernmost subject property, depicted on attachment 4, will be referred to as Subject Property 3. While no land use designation change is proposed for Subject Property 3, this request does involve rezoning Subject Property 3 from CL to CG. All of the subject properties are part of a larger t23 acre tract of land owned by Hale Indian River Groves, Inc. and located on the east side of US 1,:4.8 miles north of CR 510. The purpose of this request is to facilitate the expansion of a citrus packinghouse on the ±23 acre tract. On June 11, 1998, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request. Because the packinghouse expansion must be complete before packing season, the applicant has severe time restrictions. For that reason, the applicant worked with planning staff to identify a faster comprehensive plan amendment process. After consulting with the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), staff determined that the proposed amendment qualifies as a "small scale" amendment. JULY 79 1998
