The property is currently located <br />within the Residential -1 (R -1) zoning district and is identified as being all or a portion of Orange <br />County Parcel Identifier Number 9870774584. Accompanying the Zoning Atlas Amendment <br />was a Special Use Permit application. <br />The applicant has requested that the site be rezoned to the Office Institutional -1- Conditional <br />(0I -1 -C) zoning district. Existing zoning allows a Public Service facility but has a maximum floor <br />area ratio of 0.076. 0I -1 -C allows a maximum floor area ratio of 0.264. <br />Note: Attachments from the public hearing agenda indicate a project of 5.96 acres. Since <br />the Public Hearing, the applicant has determined that its title in the land area <br />encumbered by the State University Railroad Company right-of-way (0.48 acre) is not <br />such that it can include this land in the application. The plans have been revised to <br />indicate the change of boundary and revised project of 5.48 acres. The map included with <br />this item depicts the correct project property boundaries. <br />
