Recommendation
It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners conduct a public hearing to consider a zoning classification change from RU-1-13 (Single-Family Residential) to AU (Agricultural Residential) with a BDP (Binding Development Plan).
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is seeking a change of zoning classification from RU-1-13 (Single-Family Residential) to AU (Agricultural Residential) on 12.03 acres with a Binding Development Plan (BDP) stating development would be limited to subdividing the parcel into two Flag Lots to build two single-family homes.
The preliminary concurrency analysis identifies State Road 46 between I-95 and U.S. Highway 1 as the applicable concurrency management segment, which is currently operating at 123.08% of its Maximum Acceptable Volume (MAV). The maximum development potential under the proposed AU zoning would increase utilization by approximately 0.18%, resulting in the roadway operating at approximately 123.26% of capacity. Approval of the rezoning does not constitute concurrency approval for subsequent development permits. The proposed lots will be subject to the applicable concurrency requirements of Article IV prior to development. The applicant is on notice that future building permit issuance may be hindered given this condition.
The parcel was subdivided into the current configuration between August 1983 and October 1987, when the abutting parcels to the west of the subject parcel along Pine Avenue were split off. The parcel appears to have been subdivided in the configuration for a proposed future subdivision with an entrance road to Pine Avenue.
As the parcel does not meet the minimum lot width required for AU zoning, the applicants have proposed to split of the parcel into two flag lot parcels, with a Binding Development Plan. The applicants have not included a concept plan of the proposed flag lot configuration; final approval of any proposed configuration will occur at a later stage and is contingent on conformance with all applicable land development regulations.
Abutting the subject parcel to the north are eight parcels ranging in size from 1-1.06 acres developed with single-family residences with RR-1 zoning classification and RES 2 Future Land Use (FLU) designation. Abutting the subject property to the south is a 2.23-acre vacant parcel and six 0.38-acre parcels developed with single-family residences, with RU-1-13 zoning classification and RES 2 FLU designation. Abutting the subject property to the east are two 4.78-acre vacant parcels with AU zoning classification and RES 1 FLU designation. Abutting the subject property to the West along Pine Avenue are five parcels ranging in size from 0.28-0.35 acres, developed with single-family residences with RU-1-13 zoning classification and RES 2 FLU designation.
The Board may consider whether the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
On October 12, 2026, the Planning and Zoning Board considered the request and unanimously voted the recommend approval.
