Recommendation
It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners conduct a public hearing to consider a change of zoning classification from GU (General Use) to AU (Agricultural Residential).
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting a rezoning of his property from GU (General Use) to AU (Agricultural Residential) on a 2.38-acre parcel. The prior action pertinent to this request is 25AA00029, which is an administrative waiver for lot size approved June 27, 2025, allowing a deviation of 0.12 acres to the 2.5 acre minimum lots size in the AU zoning classification (allowing for the 2.38 acre parcel). Approval of this request will legitimize the existing improvements and continued agricultural uses.
To the north is a single-family residence on 2.38 acres with GU zoning and RES 1:2.5 FLU designation. To the south is a single-family residence located on 2.38 acres and zoned AU with a RES1:2.5 FLU designation. To the east across Florida Palm Ave is a single-family residence on a 2.23-acre site zoned GU with a RES 1:2.5 FLU designation. To the west is a 1.24-acre vacant site. It is zoned GU with a RES 1 FLU designation.
The Board may wish to consider if the request is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
On October 13, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Board considered the request and voted unanimously recommended approval.
