RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the analysis, the Planning and Zoning Commission and staff recommend that the Board <br />of County Commissioners approve this request to rezone the subject property to RM -8 by approving <br />the attached ordinance. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1. Rezoning Summary <br />2. Rezoning Application <br />3. Minutes of the January 24, 2002 meeting of the Planning and Zoning commission <br />4. Ordinance <br />Commissioner Ginn inquired about the two lakes on the parcel and Director Keating <br />thought they were man-made. In response to her next question as to why the County would <br />want to increase the density, Director Keating responded that this density was envisioned <br />by the Comprehensive Plan so as not to have urban sprawl. Commissioner Ginn was <br />opposed to the increase in density. <br />Chairman Stanbridge pointed out there is heavy commercial to the west. <br />The Chaimian opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in <br />this matter. <br />Bruce Barkett, Attorney at 756 Beachland Blvd., advised that he was appearing on <br />behalf of Dennis and Olska Forbes. He pointed out that 45th Street is newly paved and was <br />paved specifically to invite development out there. He specified that the application is <br />consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, utilities are available, and the location <br />is inside the Urban Service Area. <br />It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the Chairman closed the <br />public hearing. <br />March 5, 2002 <br />62 <br />BK I PG 363 <br />
