It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their
special meeting of January 14, 1986.
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS
The Planning Department has prepared an
existing nonresidential zoning districts
Zoning Atlas to the new nonresidential
by the Board of County Commissioners
addition, this ordinance repeals the
zoning districts which will no longer ap
ordinance to convert the
depicted on the County's
zoning districts adopted
on July 24, 1985. In
sight old nonresidential
)ear on the zoning atlas.
On November 21, 1985, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted
4 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request.
ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS
The Planning Department has done a detailed analysis of the
County's Zoning Atlas and prepared the conversion table to
convert the old zoning districts to the new zoning districts
based on the existing zoning, the existing land use pattern, and
the Comprehensive Plan. All of the proposed changes are consis-
tent with the Comprehensive Plan and adopted node boundaries. A
list of exceptions to the conversion table is included to provide
appropriate zoning for parcels which may not be rezoned in
accordance with the land use plan but are otherwise in confor-
mance with the Comprehensive Plana This includes properties
which have commercial zoning, and existing commercial uses, but
have a residential land use designation on the land use map.
These properties are considered in conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan based on the following provision in the Land
Use Element:
It is not the intent of the Board of County Commissioners to
create nonconforming uses by the adoption of this Plan. All
lawful, conforming uses in existence at the date of Plan
adoption shall be considered consistent with the Plan.
In addition, this proposed ordinance will realign zoning district
boundaries in areas where there are a large number of zoning
districts to reduce the number of districts. For example, a half
mile section of State Road 60 in the I-95/State Road 60 node area
contains five different zoning districts. Under the proposed
zoning conversion ordinance, all of these properties would be
zoned CG, General Commercial District.
If this ordinance is adopted, all zoning in the unincorporated
part of the County will be in conformance with the Comprehensive
4
Plan. In compiling the conversion table and the list of
exceptions, the staff has attempted to reduce the number of
nonconforming uses and to not create any new nonconforming uses.
However, at least one new nonconforming use will be created. By
changing the RS -6 zoning in the Kings Highway and State Road 60
commercial node to CL, one single-family residence will become a
nonconforming use.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning
Commission's" recommendation, staff recommends approval of the
zoning conversion ordinance.
Chairman Scurlock reported that he had received a call from
Carolyn Eggert, Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Commission, in
regard to three blocks in Oslo which it was indicated should
remain industrial. He wished to know if that had been
incorporated in the conversion.
Planner Shearer confirmed that it had been a major concern
that an area in Oslo should be light industrial rather than heavy
commercial, and this has been taken care of. The predominant land
use is heavy commercial, and it was felt light industrial zoning
(IL) would be more appropriate for the entire area.
Chairman Scurlock commented that the contemplated conversion
is a very comprehensive approach, and he wished to know if
something should slip by and be overlooked, how this could be
rectified in the future.
Planner Shearer advised that this is similar to the process
for the residential conversion which was carried out last April,
and if something should happen to fall through the cracks, staff
would initiate corrective action so those concerned would not
have to bear that expense.
Chairman Scurlock asked about the individual cases that may
be adversely affected by the conversions, and Planner Shearer
advised that they have a list of those who have called.
Obviously not everyone will be happy with the conversion, but
most appear to be so far. He did believe that most realized this
would be happening eventually.
Planner Shearer wished to note that in the process of
setting this up, staff proposed that some zoning on the north

side of North Gifford road was
to be reclassified from
M-1
Restricted Industrial to Light Industrial. They have been
informed since that there are one or two salvage yards in the
area that would become non -conforming, and it may be necessary to'
look at this again.
Commissioner Bird wished to know whether the permitted uses
remain basically the same when converting from one designation to
another.
Planner Shearer confirmed that they generally do, i.e., the
uses in C-1 are almost identical to C -G, and in fact, the new
designation is usually less restrictive in most respects.
Commissioner Bird asked whether the junkyards referred to in
Gifford could continue to operate in their present form, and
Planner Shearer clarified that they could continue to operate
indefinitely, but it would prevent them from expanding their use.
Commissioner Wodtke inquired about the method of notifica-
tion followed re the zoning conversions, and Planner Shearer
explained that state statutes provide that if you rezone more
than 50 of a county, the only notification required is a quarter
page advertisement in Section A of a local newspaper. Since this
conversion encompassed more than 400 square miles of the county,
that is all that was done. This same procedure was followed for
the residential zoning conversion in April.
Commissioner Wodtke felt when talking about the nodal
concept recently, the Board indicated we wanted to have specific
notification.
Planner Shearer believed we are dealing with about 50,000
parcels tonight, and Commissioner Lyons felt a node is a very
limited area where in this case we are considering most of the
county.
Planner Shearer further noted that the Press Journal has
been cooperative and done several articles to let people know
this was going on.

Nancy Offutt, liaison with the Board of Realtors and Chamber
of Commerce informed the Board that repeated notices of these
hearings were put in the newsletters that went to the 1,400
members of the Chamber of Commerce and to the Board of Realtors.
Chairman Scurlock expressed the Board's appreciation.
Chairman Scurlock continued to discuss our ability to
correct something that has fallen through the cracks, and Commis-
sioner Wodtke hoped that Attorney Vitunac could look at the
ordinance and provide us with some automatic way to handle such
problems.
Attorney Vitunac agreed that he can work on this with the
Planning staff but did not know of any way to avoid the
restrictions of state law.
Commissioner Bird believed it has been indicated by the
Commission that anything of this nature will be dealt with as
quickly and efficient as possible, and it was generally agreed
such situations will be dealt with as priority items.
Chairman Scurlock asked if anyone present wished to be
heard.
William Bieschke, real estate broker, came before the Board
representing the owners of 74 acres on the northeast corner of
Ranch Road and Oslo Road. He noted that he and Attorney Bogosian
appeared before the Board at an earlier meeting in regard to this
same acreage and asked the Commission to include it in the
Commercial/Industrial node. It was the consensus of the Commis-
sion at that time to refer this back to the Planning Commission
to see if it couldn't be placed in that node, and that is what he
is asking tonight. Mr. Bieschke emphasized that this area is
changing; there is the proposed extension of 1-95, plus the four
laning proposed on Oslo Road, and also a change was made across
the street for the truss plant.
Chairman Scurlock asked if the Planning & Zoning Commission
has taken a look at the possibility of expanding the node to
include this 74 acres, but Commissioner Lyons believed this
7
BOOK 63 pn- 2:32

L_ -
cl
BOOK &J . PAGE 203
involves a question of rezoning property to conform with the Plan
and should not be before us tonight.
Planner Shearer confirmed that currently the majority of
property under discussion is zoned Agricultural; there is a part
of it zoned commercial which abuts Oslo Road; however, the*Land
Use designation is Agricultural.
Planning & Development Director Keating noted that this
would involve a Comprehensive Plan amendment because if this
property were included, it would be necessary either to eliminate
- some -other that -is in the node or to expand the node.
Planner Shearer further pointed out that the boundaries of
the node have been set by ordinance and would have to be amended.
He advised that staff is going to be looking at this node when
they look at the Comprehensive Plan amendments, and they will.be
accepting applications next month.
Chairman Scurlock believed the answer is that we are still
considering it, but it is not part of tonight's process.
Mr. Beischke stated that he just wanted to make sure they
could come back again about this and that it was not set in
concrete.
Mike Starckx, 1016 38th Avenue, came before the Board re his
salvage business which is on the north side of North Gifford Road
and has been established since 1967. He informed the Board that
there are five salvage yards on the south side of North Gifford
Road and three on the north side which abut each other. There
are no houses between them, but there are some on the outer
fringes. Mr. Starckx continued that the way Mr. Shearer
explained it, his five competitors across the street could put in
something such as an aluminum smelter which requires heavy
industrial land, if they had all the environmental permits, and
he could not do so although he has planned to. He realized that
there is a lot of heavy industrial property on North Gifford Road
that is not developed in salvage yards that the county feels
should be rezoned, and he would go along with that, but not as
8
far as affecting an existing business. Mr. Starckx was not
concerned about expanding as all his property is developed as a
salvage yard now, but he was concerned with the environmental
requirements which are always changing, and the fact that, if he
wanted to make an improvement to comply with those requirements,
he now could not do so. Therefore, he felt the Commission, in
effect, is giving the people across the street carte blanche and
handicapping him.
Discussion ensued as to whether Mr. Starckx would be allowed
to make improvements to meet environmental restrictions.
Director Keating did believe he would be allowed to because
he felt that would be a lessening of the degree of the non-
conformity, but that would be a judgment call. He clarified that
staff's intent was not to take several businesses and make them
non -conforming; the basic intent was to give the lowest accept-
able zoning to existing businesses. Staff did not realize there
were three salvage yards up there like this; so, they would like
to take another look.
Commissioner Wodtke personally felt we should treat all the
salvage yards the same and that it would be unfair to do it any
other way.
Chairman Scurlock believed additional requirements for
environmental concerns will arise and will force Mr. Starckx to
make some changes, and he certainly should be able to do that.
In further. discussion, it was noted that the County is lucky
to have these salvage yards and over the years never has had a
complaint about them.
Mr. Starckx commented that just last year among all the
eight salvage yards, they processed over 6,000 cars out of this
county for resmelting. He stated he would appreciate the Board's
consideration on this matter.
r
Commissioner Bird, speaking as Chairman of the Parks &
Recreation Committee, noted that they need to have the operators
9

234
JAN 14 1986 63 FA, -c 2:35
whose fences back up to the Gifford Park do whatever they can to
improve the appearance of those fences.
Mr. Starckx advised that he has completely hidden his
salvage operation.
Commissioner Lyons believed we have other safeguards re the
neighboring residential areas, and Director Keating confirmed
that there are sufficient safeguards.
Bob White, 608 Albatross Lane, informed the Board that he
owns a small piece of property, 150' bordering east on U.S.1
(Tropicana Homesites, Lots 1,2,3,4 & 5). He bought this property
as an investment in 1982 in good faith as C -1A and now finds out
that he can't use it. He clarified that this property is north
of Wabasso approximately across from Gator Lumber in Wabasso and
south of Pelican Point. Mr. White informed the Board that he has
been given varying and confusing information about his property,
and now it seems he is presently under review for LD -2. He was
not happy with the idea of being required to develop property
located on U.S.1 as residential, especially with the prospect of
having children so near a major highway. Mr. White emphasized
that he would like very much to know just what he can do with his
property and what, if anything, he can pull a building permit
for.
Planner Shearer confirmed that this property is zoned C -1A
and probably has been since 1957. In 1982 the Land Use Plan
designated this as LD -2, which is low density residential, and
from that point on, it is true that the property could not be
used for anything until either the zoning was changed to
residential or the Land Use Plan was changed to commercial.
Tonight it is proposed to change the zoning to RM -6, which is
consistent with the land use designation. When the proposed
ordinance is adopted, Mr. White would be able to get a building
permit for a house or could come in and get a site plan approved
for a duplex, depending on how much land he has.
10
Mr. White stated that he has five lots, but reiterated that
he does not want to put residential on U.S.1, which would be
dangerous for children. He felt U.S.1 should be commercial.
Chairman Scurlock explained that the Commission is trying to
avoid strip commercial, and Commissioner Bird emphasized that in
our county we have about 26 miles of U.S.1 frontage and we are
not just picking on Mr. White. At one time this was all
commercial, but this Commission, as well as previous Commissions,
felt it is better planning to cluster the zoning. Unfortunately
Mr. White's property falls in between where some of these
clusters are.
Mary Jean Todd, Church Street, Wabasso, informed the Board
that she owns three lots on 50th Avenue that will be changed to
limited commercial. She stated that they own a home there which
is ideal for a nursing home and have a couple who are going to
start with a day care center for the elderly there and eventually
work into a nursing home situation. Half of their property is
light commercial, and the back half is single family dwelling,
and Mrs. Todd wished to know when staff is going to start
studying the plans for Wabasso.
Planner Shearer advised that they are doing the study on
Roseland now and starting Gifford, and Wabasso will be next.
Mrs. Todd inquired if her property will go commercial or
whether she should ask for a variance, and Planner Shearer stated
that she couldn't get a variance; however, in the interim, she
could petition for a rezoning. This is a situation where for
years the properties to the west have been zoned single family
and those to the east commercial.
In further discussion, it was noted that Mrs. Todd should
either submit a rezoning request or wait until we get the small
area plan completed.
Planner Shearer advised that staff hopes to have all the
small area plans completed by October of this year.

Lucinda Eddy, Sable Oak Drive,
informed the Board
that
her
property is on U.S.1 in Wabasso north of Reflections and south of
River Run. She stated that it used to be zoned for commercial
and they changed it to RM -6; and then she went back and was told
they were rezoning it to C -1A. Mrs. Eddy stated that she really
just wanted 300' commercial, but now for some reason they went
back and marked it RM -6 again. She did not think it is right for
her neighbors to have RM -8 when she has RM -6 and she was there
first.
- Planner Shearer noted that this is kind of a unique situa-
tion. River Run to the north and Reflections on the River to the
south both have 8 units to the acre, and the reason is that they
had their zoning in place and site plans submitted or approved
before the Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1982. Mrs. Eddy did
not; so, her zoning is RM -6.
Commissioner Bird asked if Mrs. Eddy has any commercial
left, and Planner Shearer explained that her property for a depth
of 600' has been C -1A for years. There was a similar situation
with Reflections and River Run, but River Run got theirs rezoned
to 8 units per acre multiple family, and Reflections also had
most of their rezoned to 8 units per acre. In 1982, the Land Use
Plan designated Mrs. Eddy's property as LD -2 (up to 6 units per
acre), and staff is proposing that her zoning be RM -6 to be
consistent with the LD -2 designation.
Commissioner Bird asked if Reflections has some commercially
zoned property and was informed that a large part of their
frontage is commercial; their property that borders Mrs. Eddy is
zoned multiple family.
Question arose as to how Reflections got the commercial, and
Planner Shearer advised that their commercial was considered a
neighborhood node; this was more than three years ago when
neighborhood nodes could have up to eight acres, and now they are
allowed only three.
12
Discussion continued regarding Mrs. Eddy's unique situation,
and Mrs. Eddy pointed out that River Run has put their sewer
plant up next to her property. She noted that she was not so much
concerned about the RM -8 as having some commercial.
Commissioner Lyons asked if all three acres in the neighbor-
hood node are being used for commercial, and Director Keating
advised a site plan has just recently been obtained for it.
Discussion ensued at length re the size of neighborhood
nodes being reduced over the years, and the fact that Mrs. Eddy
never submitted a site plan and so couldn't be grandfathered in.
Commissioner Lyons felt the key is that everything depends
on timing. If Mrs. Eddy had had a site plan submitted when the
others did, she could have had this also. But she didn't; she
waited; and things change.
The Board members continued to stress that they would like
to be sympathetic, but they could not find any legal way to
address Mrs. Eddy's request.
Planner Shearer felt the only way to accomplish this would
be to amend the Land Use Plan and put in a general commercial
node of about ten acres or change the Land Use designation to
MD -1 for Mrs. Eddy's property, which would be a spot desi.gnation.
Chairman Scurlock noted that nothing can be done about this
tonight in any event, and asked that staff keep looking into it.
Laverne Garbers, 335 17th Ave., informed the Board that he
owns ten acres on Oslo Road between Tippin's Nursery and the
trailer park. Some time ago he came up with a subdivision plan
to put a road down the center of it; however, the front part was
zoned commercial and the back part residential, and the plan was
not approved because they did not want traffic from residential
going through the commercial area. Mr. Garbers noted that he was
told he could have his property rezoned to 3 units per acre, but
he did not feel the surrounding environment, with a trailer park
on one side of his property at 6 units per acre and Tippin's
13
JAN 14 1986 BOOK 63 P,,GE 238
JAN 14 1986
BOOK 3 P,;E 239
commercial on the other side, would make it feasible to build
$70,000 homes.
Director Keating explained that this is the property next to
the trailer park on which the Board has twice considered revok-
ing the site plan approval. Mr. Garbers has a very unusual
situation, and staff tried to work with him on it but could not
recommend approval of his plan.
Planner Shearer noted that Mr. Garbers' property is in an
MXD area. He then reviewed the surrounding area, noting that
there is strip commercial on Oslo Road on the north side. West
of Mr. Garbers is Tippin's Nursery, which is commercial and will
stay commercial; then after Mr. Garbers' property is the trailer
park and immediately east of Marie Simmons' property is the Oslo
Road/27th Avenue node. There are three properties which would
separate that Commercial and MXD from the node, and what staff is
proposing, in order to avoid strip commercial, is that the
Garbers and Simmons properties both be rezoned RM -3 multiple.
Planner Shearer reported that the owners of the trailer park
which is in between Mr. Garbers and Marie Simmons have just
recently indicated they would be willing to have their zoning
changed however their neighbors are treated.
Administrator Wright inquired if this means they would
abandon the trailer park, and Planner Shearer advised they can't
see spending the money if their site plan might be revoked.
Commissioner Bird asked since these parcels are sandwiched
in between the commercial node and another commercial use, why we
wouldn't go with a higher density than RM -3.
Planner Shearer stated that staff would like to go with 6
units per acre. The problem is that Marie Simmons' property is
LD -1, which is only 3 units per acre, and the other two prop-
erties are in an MXD which has a maximum of 3 units per acre. He
believed what staff needs to look at is changing the Land Use
designation for those three properties.
14
Commissioner Bird inquired about expanding the MXD to
include Marie Simmons, and Planner Shearer felt what could be
done is expand the MXD to include her property and then change
the density in that MXD to 6 upa. This would take the MXD up to
the node at 6 units per acre on the north side only.
Mr. Garbers wished to know if the 6 units per acre would
apply to his entire property which runs 1320' deep.
Planner Shearer explained that the MXD is only 600' deep and
that is what staff is looking at, i.e., the property to a depth
600' back from Oslo Road would go to 6 units per acre, and back
of that staff would propose that it be made consistent with the
other subdivisions in that area.
Mr. Garbers agreed that he would go along with that.
Chairman Scurlock explained that this cannot be done
tonight, but staff will be directed to work with Mr. Garbers on
this, and it will be county -initiated.
Tony Esposito, one•of the owners of North Gifford Road
Salvage, advised that they bought two houses that were abutting
their salvage yard strictly because of the zoning and wanted to
know if it is going to be the same or changed. He explained that
the property referred to is south of North Gifford Road,
basically on 45th Avenue.
Planner Shearer advised that if the property is M-1 now, it
will probably go to IG, which is General Industrial, but he would
have to verify the location of the property and the present
zoning to make sure.
Mr. Esposito wished to know if that would be up zoning or
down zoning, and Planner.Shearer clarified that it would be
staying about the same.
No one further wished to be heard.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED
