1 1. A BOCC member asked staff to clarify the size, and number, of parcel(s) subject to the petition. Staff Comment: As detailed in the abstract and application package the property owner is seeking to rezone a 3.36 acre parcel of property to EDE -2 along US Highway 70. The property is adjacent to the Orange County ABC store, which has a street address of 5413 US Highway 70 East 2. A BOCC member asked what impacts the rezoning would have on required land use buffers. Staff Comment: Section 6.8.12 (c) of the UDO requires a 100 foot width buffer be `provided at the boundary of all Economic Development Districts'. A small portion of the subject parcel will be required to comply with this standard. Additional land use buffers for the subject parcel will be determined at the time the property is developed in accordance with Section 6.8.12 (c) of the UDO. 3. A BOCC member asked if the rezoning request for this parcel would impact the zoning of the property to the south. Staff Comment: Approval of this request will not alter or impact the zoning of the property to the south, which will remain zoned EDE -1.
