The subject properties, depicted in the figure below, are located north of CR 510, mostly on the east side of A1A. 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 Barrier Island will be compatible with surrounding land uses, which are predominantly single-family residential developments. Backround 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. Rezoning Procedures State law provides special requirements for county initiated rezonings, such as the subject request, that involve more than 10 acres. 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 pnor to the second hearing. On May 9, 2002, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve this request. On June 11, 2002, the Board of County Commissioners held the first public hearing on this item. At that time, the Board voted 5-0 to hold the second and final public hearing on this rezoning request at 9:00 A M. on July 9, 2002. This is the second and final Board of County Commissioners public hearing on this matter. At this hearing, the Board is to consider adoption of an ordinance rezoning all multi -family zoned properties on the North Barrier Island north of CR 510 to single-family residential districts.
