THROUGH: Sasan Rohan, AICP S V/. Chief Long -Range Planning FROM: John Wachtel Senior Planner, Long -Range Planning DATE: July 13, 1999 RE: County Initiated Request to Rezone ±11.4 Acres From RM -6 to RS -3 (RZON 99-040238) It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of July 27, 1999. This is a county initiated request to rezone ±11.4 acres from RM -6, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre) to RS -3, Single -Family Residential District (up to 3 units/acre). The subject property is located on the north side of 65`' Street (South Winter Beach Road), ±1,400 feet west of the F.E.C. Railway. On February 13, 1990, the county approved its comprehensive plan, including a new future land use map. After negotiation and amendment, that plan and map were found to be "In Compliance" by the State Department of Community Affairs on August 15, 1991. With the adoption of the new future land use map, the zoning of many parcels was no longer consistent with the future land use map. For that reason, the county adopted a county -wide administrative rezoning on July 21, 1992. Planning staff recently discovered that the subject property was mistakenly omitted from that administrative rezoning. The purpose of this request is to change the zoning of the site to be consistent with its land use designation. On May 27,1999, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 to 0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed rezoning. On July 13, 1999, the Board of County Commissioners held a public hearing on the proposed rezoning. At that meeting, the Board voted 5 to 0 to hold a second public hearing on the proposed rezoning at its regular business meeting on July 27, 1999. State law provides some special requirements for rezoning requests, such as the subject request, that are county initiated and involve more than ten acres. The most relevant of those special requirements are the following: • The Board must hold two advertised public hearings; • One of the public hearings must be after 5:00 p.m. on a weekday, unless four Commissioners vote to conduct that hearing at another time of day; and • The second hearing must be held at least ten days after the first hearing and must be advertised at least five days prior to the second hearing.
