Recommendation
It is requested that the Port St. John Dependent Special District Board conduct a public hearing to consider a change of zoning classification from BU-1 (General Retail Commercial) to RU-2-10 (Medium Density Multi-Family Residential).

Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting to change the zoning of two properties from BU-1 to RU-2-10. The request is to develop two duplexes, one on each parcel. The RU-2-10 zoning classification allows for apartments; however, the applicant is proposing duplexes which could acts as a transition from the more intense commercial now under construction to the north and west, and the single-family residential to the south and east.

The closest multi-family zoning is to the east across North U.S. 1, approximately 380-feet from the subject parcels. The subject property would be the only parcel with RU-2-10 zoning, west of N.
