if the Board decides to create a new Transitional land use designation (Alternative 1 or Alternative 2), there appears to be consensus that the such land should be located along arterial roads that serve as urban service area boundaries and contain both water and sewer lines within the road right-of- way. The Board, however, is not limited to the alternatives presented. If the Board decides to create a Transitional land use designation, it can choose whether or not to use the criteria used in Alternative 1, Alternative 2, some combination of those alternatives, or some other criteria. If the Board chooses to create a new land use designation, then the Board must make a decision regarding each of the following variables: • Ln�atiQn -Should the new land use designation be limited to land south of SR 60? This is the fast growing area that previously has been the primary focus of discussion. • Density -What should be the maximum density permitted within the new land use designation? Although both one unit/acre and three units/acre have been proposed, past experience indicates that one unit/acre is not feasible to develop. • )?� -How far from the arterial road should the new land use designation extend? Generally, utilities are considered available to properties within a quarter mile of a line. • Abutting cignation -Should the new land use designation be required to abut C/I designated land? The need for a Transitional land use designation is greater for farms that abut residences than for farms that abut C/I uses. • Buffer Width - Should a buffer be required where the new land use designation abuts agriculturally designated land, and if so, what type and now wide? A wide, dense buffer is beneficial to mitigate potential agricultural/residential incompatibilities. • ('arihbean Fruit Fly Host Plants -Should these be prohibited within the new land use designation? These plants are currently prohibited in new subdivisions that are adjacent to citrus groves, both inside and outside the urban service area. • Notification Requirements -Within the new land use designation, should developers be required to notify lotbuyers about surrounding uses and the Florida Right to Farm Act? The county has a similar requirement for new development near airports. This may reduce incompatibilities. Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners give direction to staff regarding the initiation of a comprehensive plan amendment during the January 2001 plan amendment window. 1.
