“This future land use map amendment and rezoning application involved property
comprising approximately 0.613 acres in an area located on the south side of Gulf-to-Bay
Blvd., approximately 1,090 feet west of Edenville Avenue and approximately 1,740 feet
east of Belcher Road. This property has a future land use plan classification of
Residential Medium (RM) and a zoning designation Mobile Home Park (MHP). The
applicant is requesting to amend the future land use plan classification of the site to the
Commercial General classification and to rezone the property to the Commercial (C)
district. The amendments will make the future land use plan and zoning atlas consistent
with the actual use of the property since 1995, as well as the parcels to the east and west,
which are under the same ownership. The property consists of an approximately 20,000
square foot vehicle display area, and approximately 6,000 square feet of pervious surface
(detention area and landscape islands).”
“Historically the parcel was used to gain access to Hillcrest Mobile Home Park to the
south. Second Street, a private street within the Park, connected to Gulf-to-Bay Blvd. via
the parcel. In 1990 Lokey Oldsmobile, Inc. acquired the entire mobile home park and
shortly after removed the existing mobile homes from the subject parcel and closed off
the access between it and the rest of the Park. Lokey Oldsmobile, Inc. acquired the
parcel to the east in 1988, while the parcel to the west has been an automobile dealership
since 1959. In 1995 the subject parcel was approved for a Conditional Use to permit
outdoor retail sales/or storage of vehicles (the existing use on the contiguous parcels to
the east and west). In 1996 Lokey Oldsmobile, Inc. declared a Unity of Title between the
subject parcel and the adjacent parcel to the ease and west. A detention area in the
southeast portion of the parcel, as well as, a concrete wall extending nearly the entire
length of the parcel, serve as buffers.”

15. Protection of natural resources of regional significance identified in the Strategic Regional
Policy Plan including, but not limited to, protection of spring and groundwater resources, and
recharge potential:
Not applicable to the adopted amendment.
16. Compatibility with regional transportation corridors and facilities including, but not limited
to, roadways, seaports, airports, public transportation systems, high speed rail facilities, and
intermodal facilities:
“Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, new car
sales developed at the absolute maximum intensity, 14,686 sf, in the Commercial District
would result in 38 PM Peak trips to Gulf-to-Bay Blvd. The existing zoing district, Mobile
Home Park, only result in 5 PM Peak trips to Gulf-to-Bay Blvd. However, the property
is already being use for new car sales and hasn’t been used as a Mobile Home Park since
Lokey Oldsmobile, Inc. bought the property in 1990. In this situation the current use is
the proposed use, even though the current zoning district is Mobile Home Park.”
17. Adequacy and compatibility with emergency preparedness plans and local mitigation
strategies including, but not limited to, the impacts on and availability of hurricane shelters,
maintenance of county hurricane clearance times, and hazard mitigation:
Not applicable to the adopted amendment.

amendment:
