III. PUBLIC HEARING III.A Zoning Map Amendment Application and Staff Report for a rezoning request of approximately 26.21 acres off of St. Andrews Church Road from Residential Agricultural (RA) to Residential Single Family(R-20). -Amy McNeill Held a public hearing regarding an application by SACR Development, LLC to rezone two vacant tracts of land totaling approximately 26.21 acres off of St. Andrews Church Road(between 2013 and 2207 St. Andrews Church Road) from Residential Agricultural(RA) to Residential Single Family(R-20). The subject property is identified as Tax Parcels 9650-59-9227-00 and 9650-58-5534-00 on Lee County Tax Map 9650.02. Planning staff recommends that the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners support this request. In making this recommendation, staff finds that the rezoning proposal from Residential Agricultural(RA) to Residential Single-Family(R-20) appears to be in keeping with the land uses described in the long range plan by allowing detached single-family dwellings (site built or modular), being in a residential area on the outskirts of a core urbanized area and would facilitate large scale development of single-family residential density by requiring a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet, with proposed utility infrastructure, on site wastewater disposal, and the site being currently accessed via a two-lane public highway.
