See attached map for reference. In making this decision, the Board of Commissioners hereby finds that, while the 2020 Land Use Plan did not specify a particular land use for this property, the request appears to be reasonable and in the public interest based on information in the staff analysis and the conditional zoning application and the location in an area near two public schools with a high volume of vehicular and pedestrian traffic which suggest that this site is not conducive to continued single-family residential development; therefore it appears that it is reasonable to develop this site in a manner other than residential. ADOPTED this the 15th day of August, 2016. Amy/M. Dalrymple, ehair Lee County Board of Commissioners
