d�{7R �U 1 PiGE25 The Board reviewed a Memorandum of September 9, 1998: TO: James E. Chandlcr County Administrator D IkION HEAD CONCURRENCE: Robert M. Keating, AIC / Community Developm Director THROUGH: Stan BolineUP Planning Director FROM: John W. McCoy, AICP Senior Planner, Current Development DATE: September 9, 1998 SUBJECT: Randle Properties Inc.'s Request to Rezone Approximately 4.99 Acres from CG to PD (Commercial). It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission at its regular meeting of September 15, 1998. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS: This is a request by Randle Properties, Inc., through its agent Knight, McGuire & Associates. Inc., to rezone approximately 4.99 acres from CG (General Commercial) to Planned Development (commercial). As part of the rezoning request, a conceptual and preliminary PD plan/plat has been submitted for approval. The subject site is located on the south side of SR 60 just west of the Ethan Allen furniture store. Immediately east of the Ethan Allen site, a similar PD rezoning request on a 4.77 acre site was approved for the MAGI mini storage facility. The purpose of this request is to secure the zoning necessary to allow a mini storage facility greater than 3 acres in size. The Board of County Commissioners is now to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the PD rezoning request and the conceptual PD plan. Also, the applicant submitted a preliminary PD plan/plat that was considered and conditionally approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission, subject to Board approval of the rezoning. The preliminary PD plan/plat approval will become effective if the Board approves the rezoning. Planning and Zoning Commission Action At its regular meeting of August 27,1998, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously (6-0) to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve the PD rezoning and the PD conceptual plan with the conditions contained in the recommendation at the end of this report. The Planning and Zoning Commission also voted to conditionally approve the preliminary PD plan/plat. Development Approval Options Available to the Developer Presently, the site is zoned General Commercial (CG), a zoning district which allows mini storage facilities as an administrative permit use and limits such facilities to a maximum size of 3 acres. Any rezoning action must comply with the site's C/I, Commercial/Industrial, land use designation. There are two options available to the developer to seek approval of the proposed project. Either of the two options, if approved, would allow the applicant to proceed v ith his projcct, as proposed. These options are as follows: 1. Rezone the site to the CH, IL, or IG zoning district; these are districts which allow mini storage facilities as permitted uses, with no restrictions on the facility acreage; OR 2. Rezone the site to a PD zoning district that is tied to a conceptual PD plan proposing a 4.99 acre mini storage facility. On staff's recommendation, the developer has opted for a PD rezoning, similar to the previously cited rezoning for the MAGI mini storage facility. If approved, the PD rezoning would effectively rezone the property in accordance with the approved conceptual PD plan. September 15, 1998 -18- • 0
