Dobbs Contact Phone Number 863.824.7644 Contact Email Address sdobbs@stevedobbsengineering.com Request The matter before the Local Planning Agency and City Council is an application to rezone three vacant parcels of land totaling 2.87 acres from Residential Multiple Family to Industrial. The properties are bounded by SW 7th Ave on the east side, SW 6th Street on the south side and the Applicants existing industrial facility to the north. The Applicant has stated that the reason for these requests is expansion of existing industrial operations. According to the Applicant’s representative, the current operations include manufacturing of compressed air canisters. The subject property is designated Single Family and Multi-Family Residential on the Future Land Use Map. The Applicant has submitted a concurrent request for a small scale future land use map amendment to change the designation of these same parcels to Industrial on the City’s Future Land Use Map. The current and proposed Future Land Use designations, zoning, existing use, and acreage of the subject property and surrounding properties are shown in the following tables and on the maps. Future Land Use, Zoning and Existing Use Existing Proposed Future Land Use Single Family and Multi-Family Residential Industrial Zoning Residential Multiple Family Industrial Use of Property Vacant Industrial Acreage 2.87 acres 2.87acres Staff Report Applicant: Neal Markus, Loumax Development Rezoning Petition No. 20-001-R 2 Future Land Use, Zoning, and Existing Uses on Surrounding Properties North Future Land Use Industrial Zoning Industrial Existing Use Loumax Development East Future Land Use Single Family Residential Zoning Residential Multiple Family Existing Use Single Family Home and Vacant South Future Land Use Multi-Family Residential Zoning Residential Multiple Family Existing Use Childcare Facility West Future Land Use Multi-Family Residential Zoning Residential Multiple Family Existing Use Vacant and Pending Residential Apartment Complex Analysis Section 70-340 of the Land Development Regulations requires that the reviewing body find that an application for rezoning meets each of the following conditions. The Applicant has provided brief comments to each of the required findings. These are repeated below in Times Roman typeface exactly as provided by the Applicant. Staff has made no attempt to correct typos, grammar, or clarify the Applicant’s comments. Staff comments are shown in this Arial typeface. 1. The proposed rezoning is not contrary to Comprehensive Plan requirements. Applicant Comment: “The proposed request in not contrary to the Comprehensive plan requirements and is currently zoned Residential Multiple Family and the surrounding properties are zoned industrial, single family and multi-family.” Staff Comment: The property to the north of these parcels is industrial but the remainder of the surrounding properties hold residential designations on the City’s Future Land Use Map and the City’s Zoning Map. While much of the directly adjacent land is vacant, there exists one single family residence and a preschool across SW 7th Ave from these parcels. Other single family residences exist nearby and a new multi-family apartment project has been approved nearby as well. The Applicant currently owns and operates a 1.6 acre industrial site to the north of these subject parcels, which is one of only a few industrial properties south of Park Street in the City. We are not recommending approval of the Applicant’s requested Future land use amendment because expansion of the Industrial Future Land Use in this area would be out of character with the predominantly residential nature of the surrounding neighborhood and is therefore inconsistent with the existing pattern of development and Future Land Use Objective 12 of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, if the City Council does not approve the Staff Report Applicant: Neal Markus, Loumax Development Rezoning Petition No. 20-001-R 3 Applicant’s concurrent small scale future land use map amendment, then this rezoning request cannot be approved either. 2. The proposed use being applied for is specifically authorized under the zoning district in the Land Development Regulations.” Applicant Comment: “The proposed of expanding of Industrial projects on Industrially zoned land is specifically authorized under the proposed zoning district in the Land Development Regulations.” Staff Comment: Manufacturing of non-explosive products is a permitted use in the Industrial zoning district. 3. The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on the public interest. Applicant Comment: “The proposed land use change should have a positive impact on the public interest to develop land that has access to all utilities and roads and bring the land value up as a developed parcel instead of undeveloped.” Staff Comment: Expansion of the Applicant’s existing operations could have positive impacts on the public interest by bringing additional jobs to the community and increasing the tax base of the City. However, allowing the expansion of industrial zoning and industrial uses could have an adverse impact in this predominantly residential neighborhood and could have an adverse impact on investment in residential development in this area. 4. The proposed use is appropriate for the location proposed, is reasonably compatible with adjacent land uses, and is not contrary or detrimental to urbanizing land use patterns. Applicant Comment: “The proposed use is appropriate for the location and compatible with the adjacent land uses.” Staff Comment: If this rezoning request is approved, it would allow for expansion of industrial uses farther into an area that is predominantly residential. Industrial is typically one of the least compatible land uses to residential. In addition to the use the specific manufacturing use that the applicant is proposing at this location, it is important to consider the other uses that would be permitted according to the Industrial zoning district regulations including: • Manufacturing, processing, except those which produce explosives • Mechanical and repair services • Bulk storage of nonhazardous material. • Outdoor sales and storage, building contractor • Wholesale sales and distribution • Enclosed warehouse and storage • Commercial laundry, dry cleaner • Auto service station, car wash • Radio, television or cable reception, transmission or operational facilities. • Public utility. • Public facility • Water treatment services, (including storage of chemicals for use and/or retail sale) • Pest control (including storage of chemicals for use and/or retail sale) • Medical marijuana dispensary Staff Report Applicant: Neal Markus, Loumax Development Rezoning Petition No. 20-001-R 4 5. The proposed use will not adversely affect property values or living conditions, or be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property. Applicant Comment: “The proposed use should positively impact property values, living conditions and be an improvement to the adjacent property and develop previously undeveloped land.” Staff Comment: There are currently several vacant residentially zoned properties adjacent to the subject parcels. Approval of this rezoning request could affect the likeliness of those properties to be developed and could thereby affect the value of those properties. Additional heavy truck traffic in this neighborhood could also affect the living conditions of the nearby residents. 6. The proposed use can be suitably buffered from surrounding uses, so as to reduce the impact of any nuisance or hazard to the neighborhood. Applicant Comment: “The proposed use can be suitably buffered from surrounding unlike uses to the south and west. The parcel is bounded to the east by SW 7th Avenue. To the north is the applicant’s Industrial Property.” Staff Comment: Depending on the specific activities involved, buffering can be used to alleviate some of the potential impacts of industrial uses. However, buffering will not reduce the impacts of increased heavy truck traffic in this predominantly residential neighborhood. 7. The proposed use will not create a density pattern that would overburden public facilities such as schools, streets, and utility services. Applicant Comment: “The use will not create density patterns that would overburden any public facilities. The potential development impacts will be within the already available amenities.” Staff Comment: Potential demand for schools and recreation facilities would be reduced if this rezoning is approved. Potential demand for water, sewer and solid waste is likely to increase. Additional vehicle trips are also projected. However, approval of this request is not likely to create a density pattern that will overburden facilities. 8. The proposed use will not create traffic congestion, flooding or drainage problems, or otherwise affect public safety. Applicant Comment: “The proposed use will not impact traffic congestion as this is already a heavily traveled street with adequate capacity for the additional traffic. To the east there is a major ditch to the east where the parcel will drain into SW 7th Avenue ditch, a major collector in the City that discharges directly into the Rim Canal adjacent to Lake Okeechobee. This project will not adversely affect public safety.” Staff Comment: There is no reason to doubt the Applicant’s comments on this finding. Drainage issues would be considered at time of site plan review. Staff Report Applicant: Neal Markus, Loumax Development Rezoning Petition No. 20-001-R 5 9. The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. Applicant Comment: “The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions.” Staff Comment: The proposed use has not been inordinately burdened by unnecessary restrictions. Recommendation Based on the foregoing analysis, we find the requested rezoning to Industrial to be inconsistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. We have reservations regarding the compatibility with adjacent uses and do not find it consistent with the urbanizing pattern of the area. Therefore, we cannot recommend approval of the Applicant’s rezoning request. Additionally, we have not recommended approval of the Applicant’s concurrent request for a future land use map amendment of these parcels. If the Council does not approve that request, then this rezoning request cannot be approved either.
