decision on the evidence presented and applicable law. The Deputy Clerk administered the Oath to all persons who wished to speak at the hearing. Director Boling announced that this matter is a continuation of a public hearing that was held on March 1, 2016, regarding MPM Seven LP's (MPM's) appeal of the Planning and Zoning Commission's denial of its request to rezone two properties located east of Old Dixie Highway, north of 77` Street, and west of U.S. Highway 1. He used a PowerPoint Presentation to provide details and an in- depth analysis on MPM's proposal to rezone ±2.79 acres from Residential Mobile Home District — up to 6 units per acre (RMH6) to Limited Commercial (CL), and ±12.39 acres from CL to Heavy Commercial (CH). He disclosed that in response to the concerns expressed by the residents of Palm Paradise Mobile Home Park (Palm Paradise), MPM has recorded voluntary use restrictions, including the elimination of machine shops, on the subject properties. He noted that the property uses must also conform to the Wabasso Corridor Regulations, and that any future land use changes would have to be approved by 80% of the Board. Director Boling thereafter gave staff's recommendation for the Board to adopt the proposed rezoning Ordinance. A brief discussion ensued regarding the non -conforming property, Palm Paradise, which is currently zoned RMH-6 and has been grandfathered in. Palm Paradise borders the parcel proposed to be rezoned to CL. Bruce Barkett, Esq., representing MPM, stated that the applicant, after meeting with the Palm Paradise residents, had eliminated all of the uses the neighbors had objections to. He also disclosed that one additional use, for machine shops, was subsequently eliminated. The Chairman called a recess at 10:16 a.m., and reconvened the meeting at 10:30 a.m., with all members present. The Chairman opened the Public Hearing.
