Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is seeking a change of zoning classification from RU-1-7 and TR-1 to AU(L) on 3.20 acres for the purpose of building a barn for agricultural equipment in order to maintain the property before building a single-family home. The subject property is located on the east side of Palm Street, approximately 245 feet south of Magoon Avenue in Mims.
The AU(L) zoning classification permits single-family residences and agricultural pursuits on 2.5-acre lots, including the raising and grazing of animals, fowl, and beekeeping for personal use, but prohibits commercial agricultural activities and no selling of agricultural products from the site.
The surrounding zoning along Palm Street is RU-1-7 and TR-1; AU and RR-1 exists to the east of the subject property, separated by the undeveloped Mangrove Street. Abutting parcels to the north and south are zoned RU-1-7.
The Board may wish to consider whether the requested AU(L) zoning classification is consistent and compatible with the surrounding zoning classifications. Also, the Board wish to consider the potential effect of agritourism to the surrounding single -family residences.
On January 13, 2020, the Planning and Zoning Board heard the request and recommended approval with an 8:1 vote.
