D. LAND USE COMPATffiILITY:
1. TOPOGRAPHY:
The subject property and surrounding area have a slight grade.
2. FLOOD PRONE AREA:
A review of the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program Rate Map (12117COI30-E;
April 17, 1995) indicates the subject parcel is not within the 100 year flood prone area,
but within Zone "X - Other Areas" which states areas determined to be outside 500 year
floodplain.
3. NA TURAL RESOURCES, HISTORIC RESOURCES.
No natural or historic resources have been found at this time.
4. WILDLIFE AND SPECIES DESIGNATED AS ENDANGERED, THREATENED OR
SPECIAL CONCERN:
No federally listed endangered plants are known to exist in the county. It is essential that
surveys of such species be completed prior to site development of parcels containing
native vegetation communities. A wildlife survey of those species designated as
endangered, threatened or species of special concern is required prior to final
development approval for this property, per 39-27.003.005 F.A.C.
E. CONSISTENCY OF PROPOSED REZONING WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The City's Comprehensive Plan indicates that U.S. 17-92 is an urban arterial and is planned as a
general commerciaVindustrial corridor. The surrounding area along U.S. 17-92 within the City is
designated "Industrial" on the Future Land Use Map. The proposed zoning designation PUD
"Planned Unit Development" is compatible with the subject property's Future Land Use Map
designation of "Industrial" as indicated under the PUD "Planned Unit Development" District in
City Code Sec. 20-353(2) which allows "Commercial uses. . . .", Sec. 20-353 (3) which allows
"All types of industrial uses. . . ." and Sec. 20-352(2) of the City Code which states "To allow
diversification of uses, structures and open spaces compatible with adjacent land uses."
F. NUISANCE POTENTIAL OF PROPOSED USE TO SURROUNDING LAND USES:
The proposed rezoning from (County) C-2, C-3, and R-1-A will not negatively impact adjacent
land uses, since the immediate surrounding area has largely commercial/industrial establishments
in operation.
Planning & Zoning Board
J..lv 'J()()!
Page 70f9
REZ-2-200 I
There should be no nuisance to surrounding properties as a result of the subject parcel being used
in the future for a commercial/industrial purposes. It is projected that the adjacent parcels to the
north and south will be utilized in the development of commercial activity.
G. CHANGE IN CHARACTER OF THE SURROUNDING AREA:
The area is experiencing a continued increase in commercial and small industrial activity.
H. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT:
Development of commerciallindustrial activity on the parcel will add to, and vary the City's tax
base.
I. CONSISTENCY / COMPATffiILITY WITH THE CITY'S ZONING MAP:
The proposed zoning map change, prompted by the annexation, changing the County designation
C-2, C-3, R-I-A to the City designation ofPUD "Planned Unit Development" zoning district is
compatible with the general surrounding county and city zoning designations to the north, south
and west along U.S. 17-92.
III. FINDINGS:
I. The proposed Zoning Map designation PUD "Planned Unit Development" District for
development of commercial/industrial activity, is compatible with the
commercial/industrial nature of U.S. 17-92.
1. The proposed zoning designation PUD "Planned Unit Development" is compatible with
the subject property's Future Land Use Map designation of "Industrial" as indicated
under the PUD "Planned Unit Development" District in City Code Sec. 20-353(2) which
allows "Commercial uses. . . .", Sec. 20-353 (3) which allows "All types of industrial
uses. . . ." and Sec. 20-352(2) of the City Code which states "To allow diversification of
uses, structures and open spaces compatible with adjacent land uses."
2. The PUD "Planned Unit Development" Zoning designation allows the City greater
flexibility in the design and control over the development of the property than would
otherwise be allowed under the C-2 "General Commercial & Industrial" zoning
designation per Section 20-354 (c), (d) of the City Code.
3. The City is willing to extend sewer, water, and other urban services to the subject
property and adjacent parcels that it provides to other areas of the City when the trunk
lines are extended in the near future.
4. The proposed use of the property for commerciallindustrial activity will have a positive,
significant economic impact on the City.

5. The traffic generated from a commerciallindustrial activity on 6.5 acres will not cause
any significant reduction in the Level of Service or threaten the Level of Service Standard
"D" on u.s. 17-92. The Applicant has not determined specifically what
commerciallindustrial activity he may want to develop on the subject property. Property
owner is subject to the land development requirements found in Chapter 9 of the City
Code. The amendment request would not be in conflict with the Metropolitan Planning
Organization (now called MetroPlan) Plan or the Florida Department of Transportation's
5 Year Plan.
