This is the most <br />restrictive commercial policy the City has, and it is unlike <br />anything the County presently has. Mr. Solin stated that it <br />allows a break, but does not depart radically from established <br />practices; it also provides the land owner with an equitable use <br />of his land and establishes a better pattern of development along <br />the thoroughfare for the community at large. In addition, they <br />established a limited commercial designation for small scale <br />commercial development, comprising specialty shops, shops with <br />limited inventory, etc. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked how just interspersing office <br />complexes, etc., with residential differs from the traditional <br />strip zoning all along U.S.1 now. <br />Mr. Solin pointed out that the County C-1 zoning which i•s <br />littered all along U.S.1 allows very intensive commercial uses, <br />such as automotives sales and services, retail sales of any scale <br />in an enclosed area, packing houses, etc., and he stated that you <br />cannot control land use when you have C-1 zoning that permeates <br />the area. Mr. Solin then went .on to discuss the unique problem <br />posed by General DevelopmentCorporation- a community planned in <br />the 50's and comprised of very small single family lot <br />development, which at build -out would have at least 35,000 <br />people. Sufficient land was not allocated for commercial use, <br />and, therefore, to accommodate the needs of the people, he stated <br />that they almost, by necessity, have to maintain what little <br />commercial they have along U.S.1, but try to direct the type of <br />activities in that area to the less intensive types of <br />commercial. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt they basically are saying that <br />they are being forced into a less intensive strip zoning. <br />Mr. Solin reviewed the buffer areas, i.e., the church to the <br />north - the gradual reduction in intensity of land use to the <br />south - the GDC vested industrial complex to the west abutting <br />72 <br />
