F, Subject Property 1 is not publicly owned, public control of the site has been secured through a conservation easement to the County. The remaining +0.54 acres of the ±1.93 acre parcel will be referred to as Subject Property 2 and consist primarily of vacant uplands. This request involves rezoning Subject Property 2 from RS -1 to RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre). There are two purposes for this request. The first is to secure the necessary land use designation and zoning to ensure that Subject Property 1's environmental significance will be preserved. The second purpose of this request is to facilitate the development of a single-family house on Subject Property 2. Building setbacks within the existing RS -1 district (30 feet from all property lines) are designed for lots of approximately one acre or larger. Within the proposed RS -6 district, setbacks (20 feet from front and rear property lines, 10 feet from side property lines) provide more flexibility in locating buildings. At the January 27, 2000, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, the commission voted 6 to 0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners redesignate Subject Property 1 to C-1, and rezone Subject Property 2 to RS -6. Because of an advertising mistake the Planning and Zoning Commission did not formally consider rezoning Subject Property 1 until February 10, 2000. At that time the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7 to 0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners rezone Subject Property 1 to Con -1. Comprehensive Plan Amendment Review Procedures The state allows local governments to use alternative adoption procedures for "small scale" plan amendments that meet certain criteria. Section 163.3187(1)(c) of the Florida Statutes sets the following criteria for small scale amendments: 1. The proposed amendment involves 10 or fewer acres; 2. The cumulative effect of the acreage for all small scale amendments in the jurisdiction does not exceed 80 acres in a calendar year, 3. The proposed amendment does not involve the same property granted a land use designation change within the prior 12 months; 4. The proposed amendment does not involve the same owner's property within 200 feet of property granted a land use designation change within the prior 12 months; 5. The proposed amendment does not involve a change to the comprehensive plan's text; 6. The subject property is not within an area of critical state concern; and 7. The proposed amendment does not involve increasing residential density above 10 units/acre. Small scale plan amendments are deemed to have fewer impacts than typical plan amendments and are eligible for a streamlined adoption process. In contrast to typical plan amendments which require review and approval by the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA), local governments may adopt small scale plan amendments without review or approval by DCA. The procedures for reviewing small scale comprehensive plan amendments are as follows. First, the Planning and Zoning Commission conducts a public hearing to review the request.
