• The subject properties, depicted in the figure below, are located north of CR 510, mostly on the east side of AIA. As shown in the figure, the subject properties have been grouped into two areas' Area 1 comprises all of the RM -3 zoned properties and Area 2 comprises the RM -4 zoned properties. The purpose of the rezoning is to ensure that future development on the North Bather Island will be compatible with surrounding land uses, which are predominantly single-family residential developments. Back ound In 2001, the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to rezone all multi -family zoned properties on the North Barrier Island north of CR 510 to single-family residential districts. Since the board's directive involves a county initiated, rather than a property owner initiated, rezoning action staff sent a letter to all affected property owners on May 8, 2001 to ask if they support the proposed rezoning. In response to that letter, only one property owner indicated that he opposed the rezoning, and that owner has since sold his property. One other owner indicated that he had questions regarding the proposed rezoning, and staff contacted that owner. The owner stated that he had concerns regarding how the rezoning might impact potential future development of his property, and staff informed him that the rezoning would not impact future development on his property, given the small size and particular configuration of the parcel. On May 9, 2002, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend that the Board of County Conunissioners approve this request. Rezonin Procedures State law provides special requirements for county initiated rezonings that involve more than 10 acres, such as the subject request. Among those special requirements are the following: o The Board must hold two advertised public hearings, one of which must be after 5 00 P.M. on a week day unless the Board by a majority plus one vote elects to conduct that hearing at another time of day; and o The second Board hearing must be held at least 10 days after the first Board hearing and must be advertised at least five days prior to the second hearing. This is the first rezoning public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners. At this hearing, the Board will consider the request and provide direction to staff. If approved by a majority plus one vote of the Board, the second rezoning public hearing will be held at the regular scheduled Board meeting on July 9, 2002. JUNE 11, 2002 -21- •
