0 <br />Recent legislation in the State of Florida (the Bert Harris Property Rights Act) gives land owners <br />certain rights associated with their property's land use designation. With the passage of the Bert <br />Harris Property Rights Act, land owners may petition for compensation when the development <br />potential of their property is reduced In other words, the proposed amendment, if adopted, cannot <br />be "un -done" in the future without compensating the applicant. <br />In addition to several agricultural, recreational, and institutional site development options, the <br />applicant has the following two residential site development options: <br />1) The applicant can create a subdivision of 6 five -acre lots. <br />2) The applicant can create a subdivision of 6 one -acre or smaller lots clustered together on a <br />portion of the site. The remainder of the site can be used for agriculture, open space, or <br />recreational amenities. Ii', in the future, the land use designation of the undeveloped area is <br />changed to allow higher density, the undeveloped area could be developed at the higher <br />density. <br />Based on the analysis, staff has determined that the requested Comprehensive Plan amendment <br />conflicts with the comprehensive plan; specifically, the request conflicts with Future Land Use <br />Element Objective 1 and Policies 1.1, 1.13, 4.1, and 14.3; and Housing Element Policy 1.2. The <br />analysis also indicates that the proposed amendment increases the likelihood of the occurrence of <br />incompatibilities. Most importantly, the subject property is located in an area that currently is suited <br />for agricultural or other non -urban uses; conversion to urban density residential development is <br />premature, at this time. <br />For these reasons, staff does not support the request to change the subject property's current land use <br />designation and zoning district. <br />Based on the analysis conducted, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that <br />the Board of County Commissioners deny this request to change the land use designation of the <br />subject property, and deny the request to rezone the site. <br />JULY 119 2000 <br />-131- <br />BK 114 PG 147 <br />0 <br />
