Home, AICP, Principal Planner THROUGH: Russell B. Wagner, AICP, Director of Planning1"Z. 9 SUBJECT: Ordinance#99-03: Frank Vine/ Beazer Homes Rezoning (Case#AR-98-10-10) ISSUE: Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners adopt Ordinance #99-03 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 3,000 feet northeast of the intersection of Maguire Road and Gotha - Park Ridge Road. The five acre parcel is vacant. The applicant has indicated that the property will become part of the preliminary subdivision approval for "Ocoee Crossings," if the annexation is approved and rezoning are approved. "Ocoee Crossings" is a proposed subdivision located on the abutting Parker/ Lawrence properties to the west. 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 these requests for rezoning will generate considerable concern amongst nearby property owners who feel that all properties in this area should be based upon 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 has required that the applicant 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. C - 2 V The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners Subject:Ordinance#99-03: Frank Vine/ Beazer Homes Rezoning (Case#AR-98-10-10) December 9, 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-IAA, 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-IAA; R-IA; and R-1). Although single family dwellings are allowed in each of the above zoning districts, single family subdivisions are more appropriately located in the R-1AAA; R-IAA; R-IA; and R-1 zoning districts. 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. 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. One nearby property owner, Jeff Smith, spoke on behalf of many of the others. Mr. Smith stated that he was concerned that the proposed rezoning to R-IAA, Single Family Dwelling District, would: (1) degrade the neighborhoods south and east of the subject property; (2) unnecessarily increase the density on the subject property ('/ acre minimum lot sizes were suggested); (3) create an unattractive view along Gotha - Park Ridge Road; (4) exacerbate traffic congestion on Gotha - Park Ridge Road and at its intersection with Maguire Road; and (5) not be adequately served by the City of Ocoee. Other nearby property owners echoed Mr. Smith's comments but they added the character of development generally approved by Ocoee would adversely impact their properties. Some property owners indicated that Ocoee densities and home sizes were unacceptable. Another property owner suggested that only the property backing up to Gotha - Park Ridge Road was of major concern to him. One citizen asked the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider one acre minimum lot sizes rather than the half acre lots suggested by Mr. Smith. Staff addressed all of the concerns raised by the surrounding property owners but maintained that R-IAA zoning was an acceptable compromise between the lot sizes approved by Ocoee in the nearby Cross Creek, Wesmere, and Westridge subdivisions versus the lot sizes approved by Orange County in the adjacent Belmere, Windermere Chase, Windermere Downs, and Lakes subdivisions. After a lengthy discussion and a failed motion, 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-IAA. The Honorable Mayor and CityCommissioners Y Subject:Ordinance#99-03: Frank Vine/ Beazer Homes Rezoning (Case#AR-98-10-10) December 9, 1998 Page 3 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners adopt Ordinance Number 99-03 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.
