MINIITES of the meeting held August 6, 1985 were approved as
presented.
REZONING REQUEST.
Mr. Sargent introduced a request by Richard E. Black to have his
property described as the South 130 feet of Lots 18 and 20, Block
93 rezoned from an R-3 Residential/Professional to a C-1 Light
Commercial zoning classification. It was explained that Margie
Rowe Bedsole had joined in the request for her adjacent property
described as the South 30 feet of the West 1/2 of Lot 13, West
1/2 of Lot 14, South 30 feet of Lot 15, and Lot 16, Block 93.
These properties extend from 872 through 898 West Minneola
Avenue.
Mr. Saunders explained that the Commission has an obligation to
consider the newly adopted Future Land Use Map and the Comprehen-
sive Plan in any decisions concerning zoning. He mentioned that
either R-3 or C-1 zoning classifications fall under the EBD-1
(Established Business District-1) designation given to the area
• on the Land Use Map.
Mr. Evans stated that, because the property has been used for C-1
purposes for a long time and the rest of Block 93 facing West
Minneola Avenue is already zoned C-1 or C-2/CBD, he felt C-1 is
better zoning.
A brief discussion followed, during which Mr. Saunders stressed
the necessity for considering all uses permitted under C-1 zoning
and the importance of considering only the rezoning request, not
Mr. Black's proposed use of the property, in making a decision.
Mr. Sargent reminded Mr. Black that one building on his property
does not meet current setbacks, and that if it is ever removed,
any new structure would be held to setback requirements.
A motion was made by Mr. Thompson, seconded by Mr. Evans and
unanimously approved THAT APPROVAL OF THE ZONING CHANGE, WITH THE
CITY MANAGER'S COMMENTS, BE RECOMMENDED TO THE CITY COUNCIL.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at
7:50 p.m.
