n ­�`0-)CI <br />BOOP( IOU PAGE d"Ju <br />The PD process requires the applicant to submit a binding conceptual plan which limits uses and sets <br />forth specific development standards on the site. Those standards can include landscaping, buffers. <br />lot size, building design, and others. Thus, the PD process allows the creation of a unique PD zoning <br />district to be developed specifically for each site. Through the use of the PD process, the county can <br />review actual site design standards, and therefore better ensure compatibility among different uses. <br />Because single-family areas are easily impacted, this is particularly important where single-family <br />area abut other uses. <br />By placing the RM-6/RS-6 zoning district boundary 80 feet east of Jungle Trail and 100 feet north <br />of the subject property's south boundary, the applicant has only partially addressed, not eliminated, <br />the compatibility issues raised in this section. Those issues could be better addressed through the PD <br />process. The applicant, however, has chosen not to take advantage of that option at this time. <br />Therefore, based on the analysis of the existing development pattern surrounding the subject <br />property, the proposed rezoning, as structured, appears to be incompatible with surrounding areas. <br />ALIT:RNATTWS4 <br />With respect to this request, the Board of County Commissioners has the following three <br />alternatives: <br />1. rezone the subject property from A-1 to RS -6 and RM -6 as requested by the applicant. Staff <br />does not support this alternative; <br />2. deny the request and let the subject property remain zoned A-1. This alternative is not <br />consistent with the subject property's residential future land use map designation. Staff does <br />not support this alternative; or <br />3. rezone the entire subject property from A-1 to RS -6. Staff supports this alternative. <br />Residential zoning on the subject property is consistent with the comprehensive plan. meets all <br />concurrency criteria, and will have no negative impacts on environmental quality. The development <br />pattern in this area of the county, however, indicates that only single-family zoning on the entire site <br />can ensure compatibility with the surrounding areas. For these reasons, staff supports Alternative <br />3. <br />Based on the analysis, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the Board <br />of County Commissioners approve Alternative 3 and rezone the entire subject property to RS -6 by <br />adopting the appropriate attached rezoning ordinance. <br />SEPTEMBER 1, 1998 <br />-32- <br />• 0 <br />
