Home, AICP, Principal Planner THROUGH: Russell B. Wagner, AICP, Director of Planning SUBJECT: Ordinance#99-05: Dye/Christensen/OCPS Rezoning (Case#AR-98-10-12) ISSUE: Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners adopt Ordinance #99-05 approving the above application to rezone the subject property from A-1, Citrus Rural District (Orange County) to R-IAA, Single Family Dwelling District (Ocoee)? BACKGROUND: The requested rezoning is being considered simultaneously with an annexation petition. The subject property is approximately 3,500 feet northeast of the intersection of Maguire Road and Gotha - Park Ridge Road. The 26 acre parcel is vacant. The applicant has indicated that the property will eventually become a new Orange County Public Elementary School, if the annexation is approved and rezoning are approved. The City of Ocoee will also use part of the property for a new Ocoee activity-based park. This quadrant of the Joint Planning Area abuts the Gotha Rural Settlement to the east and unincorporated Orange County to the south. Single family development in this area is dominated by half-acre and one-acre home sites. Staff anticipates that this request for rezoning will generate considerable concern amongst nearby property owners who feel that all properties in this area should be zoned for half-acre minimum lot sizes. The Westridge, Cross Creek, and Wesmere developments allow minimum lot sizes as low as 7,000 square feet. As a compromise, Staff required that the Beazer Homes applicant for the adjacent properties maintain a minimum lot size of 9,000 square feet (about 75' x 120'). Most of the surrounding County land is zoned either A-1, Citrus Rural District or RCE, Rural Country Estate District and used for single family residential purposes. One notable exception is the nearby Orange County Belmere single family subdivision on the southwest corner of Maguire Road and Roberson Road. The Belmere parcel is zoned PUD and it allows smaller single family lots, commercial, Adult Congregate Living Facilities, and multifamily uses. LC d The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners Subject: Ordinance#99-05: Dye/Christensen/OCPS Rezoning (Case#AR-98-10-12) December 10, 1998 Page 2 DISCUSSION: The subject property is designated Low Density Residential (< 4 du/acre) on the City Future Land Use Map and Joint Planning Area Map. The applicant has requested an Ocoee zoning classification of R-1AA, Single Family Dwelling District which would be consistent with the above referenced land use designations. The underlying Low Density Residential land use theoretically permits eight possible zoning classifications (A-1; A-2; RCE-1; RCE-2; R-1AAA; R-1AA; R-1A; and R-1). Since schools, parks, and other public facilities may be permitted in any zoning district, it would be appropriate to assign the same zoning classification that is approved for the adjacent Frank Vine and Parker/ Lawrence properties. The Comprehensive Plan lists several zoning districts that are consistent with the Low Density Residential designation, but the City may choose from the range of potential zoning classifications and select one, as appropriate. It has been suggested that any potential park and school site should be zoned exclusively for those purposes. Staff disagrees. Instead, the subject property should be assigned the same zoning as the adjacent Frank Vine and Parker/ Lawrence properties in case the property is reconfigured or sold. There is a possibility that Orange County Public Schools and the Beazer Homes developer may swap some properties to the advantage of both site layouts. In other words, the school and park sites could be reconfigured slightly in order to optimize their locations in relation to pedestrian and vehicular access. Similarly, the proposed subdivision may be reconfigured for a better subdivision design. Although it is unlikely that the City or School Board would abandon the park and school plans, it is still important that the zoning be consistent with adjacent Frank Vine and Parker/ Lawrence properties in order to meet our fiduciary responsibilities to the taxpayers in the unlikely event that the property is sold for development later. Based upon this analysis, Staff has determined that the requested zoning classification is consistent with Ocoee's: (1) Comprehensive Plan; (2) Future Land Use Map; (3) Land Development Code; (4) Joint Planning Area (JPA) Agreement with Orange County; and (5) surrounding land uses and zoning classifications. More specifically, the request is consistent with the following goals, objectives, and policies of the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan: (a) Goal 1; (b) Objective 1; (c) Policy 1.1; .(d) Policy 1.15; (e) Policy 1.16; (f) Objective 2; and (e) Policy 2.4. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: On December 8, 1998, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a de novo public hearing regarding the requested rezoning, A number of surrounding property owners attended the public hearing. Several property owners were concerned that the proposed rezoning to R-1AA, Single Family Dwelling District, was inappropriate for a school and park site. They stated that the property should be zoned exclusively for a school and a park. It was explained that the City does not have such a zoning classification and that State law prohibits such zoning for schools. Staff also explained that additional public hearings would be required before final site plan approval for the school and the park site. The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners Subject: Ordinance#99-05: Dye/Christensen/OCPS Rezoning (Case#AR-98-10-12) December 10, 1998 Page 3 The Planning and Zoning Commission members asked about the significance of the zoning classification for a park and school site. Staff replied that the property should be zoned consistent with the adjacent Frank Vine and Parker/ Lawrence properties in case a reconfiguration or sale should become necessary (as explained above). After a brief discussion, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners rezone the subject property to R-1AAA, Single Family Dwelling District, rather than the requested R-1AA. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners adopt Ordinance Number 99-05 to approve the requested rezoning to R-1AA, Single Family Dwelling District, and find that the application is consistent with: (1) the Ocoee Comprehensive Plan; (2) the Future Land Use Map; (3) the Ocoee Land Development Code; and (4) the requirements of the JPA Agreement.
