3 Planning Staff Findings Findings of Planning Staff review of the rezoning proposal follow: 1. An error was made with respect to the property when zoning was adopted for Cheeks Township on October 1, 1984. 2. Rezoning to EC-5 would be compatible with the stipulations set forth for businesses in operation on the effective date of zoning. The Comprehensive Plan would = need to be amended. 3. Thirty-three uses are permitted by right in the EC-5 Zoning District. One use requires a Class A Special Use Permit with approval of the Board of County Commissioners, and three require a Class B Permit with approval of the Board of Adjustment. Any of these uses, either by right or under special conditions, could be allowed on the proposed zoning lot. Listed uses in the EC-5 district are given in the attached General Information Memorandum to the Board of County Commissioners and the Planning Board. Public Hearing Summary A joint public hearing on the rezoning request was held by the Board of County Commissioners and the Planning Board on May 27, 1997. No comments were heard from the public. Questions from the County Commissioners and Planning Board pertained to clarification of points on location, access, and requested size of the zoning lot. Planning Staff Recommendation The Planning Staff recommends approval of the rezoning per the attached findings and the following conditions: 1. That the zoning lot be located where the existing business was apparently being conducted on the effective date of zoning for Cheeks Township (October 1, 1984), and on the one and same location where the business was being conducted on the date of the Application for Change of Zoning District (May 5, 1997).
