Ac SEP 7 1983m: Existing Land Use Pattern The subject property is currently vacant. Directly south of the site is Knight & Mathis Steel Fabricators. South of Knight & Mathis on the north side of Glendale Road (8th Street) is a mobile home park. To the west of the property, across Old Dixie Highway, are single-family residences located in an R-1 zoning district. The area east of this site is zoned M-1 and'is currently vacant to the F.E.C. railroad track. North of the subject property is Bain Underground Utilities and an auto body shop. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as MXD, Mixed Use District (maximum of 6 dwelling units/acre). The MXD also allows commercial and industrial uses where such development will be consistent with the dominant land uses of the area. The subject property is bordered predominantly by land zoned M-1 which will probably be developed for industrial uses. — Roads/Traffic This property has direct access to Old Dixie Highway which is classified as a secondary collector street on the Thoroughfare Plan. Utilizing the maximum density allowed in warehouse use of the site under the proposed rezoning, the development of the property would generate 124 average daily trips (ADT) with 12 trips in the peak hour. These additional trips added. to Old Dixie Highway could cause some concern since this facility is currently close to capacity (10,000 ADT with capacity of 10-12,000). However, under the existing zoning, this site would produce 221 ADTs if developed to potential. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive. There do not appear to be any environmental problems associated with the development of the property.-. Utilities The subject property is currently served by County water, but there are no wastewater facilities. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, particularly the facts that the area is predominantly developed in light industrial uses, the proposed rezoning would result in less traffic than the traffic generated by the maximum development allowed under existing zoning, and the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff recommends approval. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. There were none. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, Commissioner Wodtke being absent, the Board by a 4-0 vote, closed the public hearing. 75
