Northern part of property along boundary/river. Request The applicant is requesting a rezoning from B-2, Community Business, to R-1, Single-Family Dwelling, on approximately 1.2 acres to build a residence for personal use as specifically described in the Land Development Code (LDC) Article 2, Division 7, Zoning Change. Analysis In reaching its decision, the Board of County Commissioners shall find that the following exist: This parcel was zoned B-2 and given a commercial land use during the original plat of Silver Springs Shores Unit 44. Since then the overall development of the area has been sparse and the commercial development of this area has never come to fruition. a. Granting the rezoning will not adversely affect the public interest. The subject property is in a residential area and has residential properties on 2 of the 3 available sides, the river is adjacent to the north. This area of east Silver Springs Shores is far from any main roads and is in the rear of the development. There is no central water or wastewater infrastructure in this area. Rezoning to R-1 for residential purpose is a far less intensive use than currently allowed by right. Therefore, granting the rezoning on a portion of the site, will not adversely affect the public interest and would fit the character of the neighborhood. b. The proposed zoning change is consistent with the current Comprehensive Plan. The FLU Map 1: Marion County 2035 Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan designates this property as Commercial land which is consistent with the current B-2 zoning. Since changes to the plan in 2014, Commercial land use also has a residential component so the R-1 zoning will remain consistent with the current Comprehensive Plan but staff sees a benefit to administratively change the land use in this area during future plan changes. Therefore, the proposed zoning change is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. c. The proposed zoning change is compatible with land uses in the surrounding area. The subject property is in an area that has a rural residential character. The initial commercial zoning would likely be incompatible today, with the residential development in the immediate area. The proposed zoning change is compatible with the land uses in the surrounding area. Staff Recommendation: Approval
