Owners: See the attached parcel information sheet. C. Request: This is an administrative request for a Small Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the FLUM designation of one (1) parcel located at 901 SR 434 (comer of Belle Avenue) from "Industrial" to "Commercial". D. Purpose: The purpose of the request is to revise the FUTURE LAND USE MAP from a FLUM designation of "Industrial" to "Commercial" for one (1) parcel. The current zoning is C- 1 and the existing land use is commercial. The current Industrial FLUM designation is not appropriate for businesses which front along SR 434 and does not fit with the rest of the SR 434 corridor. E. Site Information: 1. Parcel Number - See the attached parcel information sheet. 2. Acreage - See the attached parcel information sheet. 3. General Location - See the attached parcel information sheet. 4. Legal Description - See the attached parcel information sheet. 5. Background - On July 8, 2002, the City Commission approved Ordinance No. ,2002-07 creating a new zoning district category called "1-1 Light Industrial District". In addition, this Ordinance amended the list of allowable uses within the "C-2 General Commercial and Industrial Districts" by modifying the list of general commercial uses and eliminating the list of industrial uses; and amending the list of permitted conditional, and prohibited uses within the "C-1 Neighborhood Commercial District". In light of the newly created zoning district, it is the intention of the City to rezone those properties whose existing land uses are more compatible with the allowable uses of the Winter Springs "1-1 Light Industrial District" than that of the Winter Springs "C-2 General Commercial District". As part of this process, it was determined that the subject property should retain its current zoning, but the FLUM needed to be amended. 6. Existing Land Use - See the attached parcel information sheet. 7. Development Trends - The parcel has been developed and no changes are proposed. The purpose of the request is to make the parcel's FLUM more consistent with the other retail parcels along the SR 434 corridor. 8. Letters/Phone Calls In Favor Or Opposition - None as of July 25, 2003. II.
