BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA REQUEST DATE: February 18, 2014 TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board FROM: Elliot Kampert SUBJECT: Alpha Omega Investment FLUM Amendment/Rezoning DEPARTMENT: Growth Management BCC DISTRICT: 5 PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration of a request changing the use of land submitted by Natalia Sevciuc as agent for Alpha Omega Investment Union, LLC relating to property located at 1445 Pine Street, Niceville. The request is to change the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation for the property from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Commercial (C), or a more restrictive FLUM designation. If the FLUM amendment is approved, request to rezone the property from Residential - 1 (R-1) district to General Commercial (C-3) district, or a more restrictive zoning district. Property contains .43 acres, more or less. STAFF FINDINGS: • The property was designated as “Commercial” on the 1990 FLUM. • The property was subsequently designated as Low Density Residential (LDR) when the FLUM was revised in 2003 • The property had “split” zoning with BG in the front and AA in the rear prior to May, 2010. • The BG zoning district remained undisturbed until May, 2010 at which time the zoning map was changed to reflect the FLUM. The property was then changed to R-1 to make it consistent with the LDR FLUM designation. • The property abuts parcels bearing the Commercial FLUM designation and C-3 zoning on three sides. PUBLIC COMMENT/OPPOSITION: None as of the BCC agenda deadline (February 12, 2014). PLANNING COMMISSION: To be announced. MILITARY REPRESENTATIVE: To be announced. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board consider the facts presented herein, the Planning Commission recommendation as will be provided during the public hearing, as well as any facts that may be presented at the public hearing, and then decide whether or not to adopt the requested FLUM amendment and rezoning by separate ordinances.
