“"1. The respondent by special permit had previously authorized the use of the subject property as a restaurant and pharmacy (drugstore). The petitioners have been unable to obtain a tenant for that portion of the premises previously designated as a drugstore for such purpose, but have been able to obtain a prospective tenant for the purpose of operating a retail package foodstore. In December of 1965 the petitioners sought approval of the Dade County Zoning Appeals Board for a district boundary change to authorize the use of that portion of the subject property previously designated `drugstore' for the operation of a retail package foodstore.

The Dade County Zoning Appeals Board, after appropriate hearing, recommended approval of the requested district boundary change by its formal Resolution No. 3-ZAB-39-66, dated February 7, 1966, and among other things, found in said resolution that the use of the subject premises for a package foodstore would be compatible with the neighborhood and area concerned in which the subject property is located. The Board of County Commissioners of Dade County on March 17, 1966, passed a Resolution No. Z-37-66, denying the requested district boundary change as recommended by the Dade County ”

That rule has been held to apply on an application for a zoning change as well as in initial zoning determinations. See City of Miami Beach v. Lachman, Fla. 1954, 71 So.2d 148, 152 ; Town of Surfside v. Abelson, Fla.App. 1958, 106 So.2d 108 ."”
