BACKGROUND: The subject property is located approximately 500 feet east of Marshall Farms Road directly south of the Meurett Sign Company building on Maguire Road. The 1.83 acre parcel is vacant except for an abandoned residence. The applicant has indicated that the property will become part of the overall sign company site and be predominately utilized for additional parking if the rezoning is approved. A future expansion of the existing Meurette Sign Company building may also extend partially into this site as well. The site is an enclave surrounded by Ocoee C-3 General Commercial District immediately to the East, West and South with 1-2 General Industrial District zoning to the North. A pattern of high intensity commercial and industrial uses dominate the surrounding area of the community. DISCUSSION: The subject property is designated Commercial on the Ocoee Future Land Use Map and the Joint Planning Area Land Use Map; however, the Orange County Future Land Use Map designates this site as Industrial. The applicant has requested an Ocoee zoning classification of 1-2 General Industrial District which would seemingly be consistent with the Orange County land use designation but not the Ocoee land use designation. /3 The Mayor and City Commissioners February 11, 1999 Page 2 Even though this parcel technically extends across the boundary separating Commercial and Industrial land uses, there are precedents and policies which nevertheless permit the property to be rezoned for industrial uses. In prior instances such as this, (Plantation Grove PUD) the State DCA permitted the City to modify a Commercial land use boundary where a land owner moved a roadway in order to consolidate two separate parcels of property he owned into one, similar to this case. The State considered this to be a de minimus modification to the City Land Use Map. Additionally, it is accepted practice not to split properties under single ownership and use into two different zoning districts. This property is already owned by Meurette Sign Company, and it is an extension of the portion of the site already zoned 1-2 utilized for sign fabrication. Accordingly, rezoning this contiguous parcel to a zoning classification consistence with the parent parcel is legally allowable and follows sound zoning practice. Consultation with Orange County Planning Department staff on this matter has resulted in their concurrence with this analysis thereby precluding the need for any land use amendments in this case. 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; (5) surrounding land uses and zoning classifications; and (6) the goals, objectives and policies of the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: At their regular meeting on February 9, 1999, the Planning and Zoning commission held a public hearing to consider the initial zoning of the subject property. After some discussion regarding the relative effect of the higher intensity zoning on surrounding properties, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend rezoning of the Meurett Sign Company property to 1-2 General Industrial. Based upon the representation made by the attorney for Meurett Sign Company, the Planning and Zoning Commission requested that the City Commission consider the need to minimize adverse affects to the adjoining recording studio property on Marshall Farms Road by receiving assurances that no trucks would utilize the existing access easement leading to the Meurett site. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the proceeding report and the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission, Staff recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners approve Ordinance No. 99-11 to rezone the Meurett Sign Company property from A-1 Citrus Rural District (Orange County) to 1-2 General Industrial District (Ocoee), 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.
