Future Land Use Pattern <br />The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as MXD, <br />Mixed Use Development (maximum of 6 dwelling units/acre). All <br />of the property surrounding this site is also designated as <br />MXD, except for the property east of U.S. Highway #1 which is <br />designated as LD -2, Low -Density Residential (maximum of 6 <br />dwelling units/acre). The MXD designation allows residential, <br />commercial, and industrial uses where such development will be <br />conducive to the dominant land uses of the area,and appropri- <br />ate transition areas and buffers can be provided. The land <br />directly north and south of the subject property is zoned C-1, <br />Commercial District. This C-1 zoning district seems to be <br />appropriate for these surrounding properties, and sufficient <br />transition areas and buffers could(be included in future <br />development between these areas and the subject property if <br />the subject property is rezoned C-2. <br />The applicant originally proposed to rezone the subject <br />property to M-1, Restricted Industrial. The staff worked <br />extensively with the applicant to find a zoning district more <br />compatible with the surrounding zoning and land uses. <br />Roads/Traffic <br />This property has direct access to U.S. Highway 41 which is <br />classified as an arterial street on the Thoroughfare Plan. It <br />is estimated that very little additional traffic will be <br />generated as a result of this rezoning. Any additional <br />traffic would have little effect on U.S. #1 in this area, <br />because it carries 11,000 ADT at level -of -service "A". <br />Environment <br />The subject property is not designated as environmentally <br />sensitive. There do not appear to be any environmental <br />problems associated with the development of the property. <br />Utilities <br />The subject property is not currently served by County water <br />nor wastewater facilities. The County has no plans to extend <br />utilities to this area in the next decade. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the above analysis, particularly the existing land <br />use of the.subject property and the fact that appropriate <br />transition areas could be established around the subject <br />property, and the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission, staff recommends approval. <br />NOV 16 1993 <br />L_ <br />Mr. Shearer informed the Board that representatives of <br />the lumber company came in and discussed with staff several <br />different configurations for zoning, and staff recommended <br />that they apply for C-2, the newest zoning district, which <br />has lumber yards as an allowed use and some outdoor storage. <br />Both the Planning & Zoning Commission and staff recommend <br />approval. <br />84 <br />WK <br />
