BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: January 8, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Elliot Kampert
SUBJECT: Public Hearing - Plan Amendment/Rezoning - JRW Investments
DEPARTMENT: Growth Management
BCC DISTRICT: Three
ISSUE: 361573-BCC-2012 and 361577-BCC-2012. Consideration of a request changing the use of
land submitted by James R. Watts as agent for JRW Investments, LLC relating to property
located at 4367 Log Lake Road, Holt. The request is to change the Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Map (FLUM) designation for the property from Industrial (I) to Commercial (C), or
a more restrictive FLUM designation. If the FLUM amendment is approved, request to rezone
the property from Industrial (I-1) district to General Commercial (C-3) district, or a more
restrictive zoning district. Property contains 9.42 acres, more or less.
STAFF FINDINGS:
• The property is the site of a vacant convenience store.
• The property was previously used for commercial purposes.
• The current Industrial FLUM designation and zoning does not allow the property to be used for a
convenience store or similar commercial purpose.
• The property is classified as commercial (‘supermarket”) by the Property Appraiser for property
tax purposes.
• The requested changes would allow the existing building to be used as a convenience store or
other similar commercial purposes.
• There are other commercial-designated and zoned areas in the immediate vicinity.
PUBLIC COMMENT/OPPOSITION: None to date.
STAFF POSITION: Staff has no objection to the requested FLUM amendment and rezoning.
PLANNING COMMISSION: The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval at
a public hearing held December 13, 2012.
MILITARY REPRESENTATIVE: No comment.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board consider the facts presented herein, the
Planning Commission recommendation, as well as any other facts that may be presented at the public
hearing, and then decide whether or not to adopt the requested FLUM amendment and rezoning by
ordinance.
RECOMMENDED BY:
