Marder, city Planner SUBJECT: Planning Recommendation Fo Meeting of March 3, 198$ ITEM NO. 1: BML INVESTMENTS - Request to rezone from SR -1, Single Family Residential to MR -2, Multiple Family Residential for property located on the east side of Hidden Lake Drive. I. Site is Zoned SR -1, Single Family Residential and appears to be vacant at the present time. The site includes approximately 2.5 acres, a portion of which appears to include wetlands vegetation based on mapping by the St. Johns River Water Management District. 2. Site is adjacent to existing MR -2, Multiple Family Zoning District which evidences existing and under - construction multiple family dwellings. Site is also adjacent to an SR -1, single Family Zoning District which appears to evidence wetlands vegetation and a GC -2, General Commercial Zoning District which includes office /commercial development and wetlands vegetation. 3. Taken together, the limited size of site, the proposed higher density of urban development (up to 20 dwelling units per acre) and the evidence of wetland vegetation indicates the need for site - specific preliminary engineering information regarding suitability /limitations for urban development. 4. Recommend that the request to rezone to MR -2, Multiple Family Residential be approved subject to the provision of site- specific Preliminary engineering information indicating that the site is suitable for the intended urban development activities and based on similarity of existing zoning districts already established in the immediate area at the present time.
