<br /> Although multiple- family development on the subject property would be compatible with the 1
<br /> inactive citrus grove on the tl4 acre outparcel , leaving the outparcel zoned A - 1 essentially creates
<br /> a " spot " of A - 1 zoned land surrounded by other zoning districts . While that outparcel currently
<br /> consists of an inactive citrus grove, an active grove could be re- established on the outparcel under
<br /> the existing A- 1 zoning district . Additionally, county regulations allow agricultural uses that have
<br /> not been replaced by another use to continue on a site even after that site has been given a non-
<br /> Ile
<br /> agricultural zoning district . In the case of the outparcel, the grove ( albeit inactive) still exists . For 1
<br /> �>
<br /> those reasons, an active grove could be re- established on the outparcel even if the outparcel were
<br /> rezoned to another zoning district . In other words , the "spot " zone could be eliminated without
<br /> ell
<br /> prohibiting the re-establishment of an active citrus grove on the outparcel .
<br /> Nevertheless, the property owner has indicated that he does not desire to rezone the outparcel at this
<br /> time. For that reason, the outparcel is not part of the subject rezoning request and the outparcel will
<br /> retain the A- I zoning classification.
<br /> ef
<br /> Another factor that indicates that this area of the county is a good location for multiple-family
<br /> Ile I
<br /> development is its close proximity to the SR 60 commercial/industrial nodes . Because it has easy
<br /> access to the SR 60 nodes, the subject property is particularly well suited to meet the demand for
<br /> multiple-family housing generated by those employment centers . In effect, the proposed rezoning ell
<br /> ell
<br /> would increase the opportunity for people to live near their place of employment.
<br /> Additionally, the subject property is located within the boundaries of the SR 60 Corridor Plan Area.
<br /> Therefore, multiple- family residential development on the site must meet special landscaping ,
<br /> lee
<br /> architecturaleIrl 11
<br /> All , roof design, signage , color, and other standards .
<br /> eed
<br /> For these reasons, staff' s position is that the requested zoning district would be compatible with
<br /> adjacent residential development .
<br /> Potential Impact on Environmental Quality
<br /> I Ile
<br /> Being a citrus grove, the site has been altered. Since the subject property contains no "
<br /> environmentally important land, such as wetlands or sensitive uplands, development of the site is
<br /> anticipated to have little or no impact on environmental quality . For this reason , no significant
<br /> adverse impacts on important environmental resources are anticipated .
<br /> CONCLUSION
<br /> Ile, l
<br /> feel
<br /> Based on the analysis , staff has determined that the proposed rezoning is compatible with
<br /> surrounding areas, consistent with the comprehensive plan, meets all concurrency criteria, will have
<br /> no negative impacts on environmental quality , and meets all applicable rezoning criteria. Most
<br /> Ile
<br /> importantly, the subject property is located in an area deemed suited for medium -density multiple-
<br /> family residential uses . For these reasons, staff supports the request .
<br /> RECOMMENDATION
<br /> Staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the Board of County
<br /> Commissioners approve this request to rezone the subject property from A- 1 to RM- 8 by adopting
<br /> the attached ordinance .
