Future Land Use Pattern <br />The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and all <br />of the land around it as AG, Agricultural (up to .2 <br />units/acre). The land, one mile north of the subject property <br />is designated as MD -1, Medium -Density Residential 1 (up to.8 <br />units/acre). Two miles east of the subject property is land <br />designated as RR -1, Rural Residential 1 (up to .4 units/acre). <br />The Oslo Road and 74th Avenue commercial/industrial node is <br />approximately one mile southeast of the subject property <br />(one-half mile south and one-half mile east). <br />The Comprehensive Plan states that one of the most serious <br />problems facing the County is -scattered housing subdivisions <br />that deplete the best.agricultural lands and require extension <br />of expensive community facilities and services to meet <br />residential needs. Because of -this problem, the Plan contains <br />an Agricultural land use designation to enhance the viability <br />of the County's agricultural economy, preserve prime <br />agricultural lands, and prevent urban sprawl and scattered <br />residential subdivisions throughout the traditionally <br />agricultural areas of the County which are not adjacent to <br />urban development. <br />The RR -2, Rural Residential 2 (up to 1 unit/acre), land use <br />designation that the applicant is requesting was designed to <br />provide limited residential uses, but also to protect agricul- <br />tural lands which are under development pressure. The subject <br />property does not appear to be under development pressure since <br />all of the property around it is zoned Agricultural and is <br />devoted to agricultural uses (except for the Aerodrome Subdi- <br />vision which contains single-family residences). In addition,. <br />none of the land around the subject property has a"land use <br />designation other that. Agricultural. For these reasons, the AG <br />land use designation seems to -be appropriate for the subject <br />property. <br />Transportation Svstem <br />The subject property has direct access to Ranch Road <br />(classified as a Primary Collector on the Thoroughfare Plan), <br />R. D. Carter Road, and Rebel Road (classified as local <br />streets). Residential development of the subject property on <br />one acre lots would generate 800 average annual daily trips <br />(AADT). Residential development under the existing AG land use <br />designation would generate 160 AADT. <br />Environment <br />The subject property is not designated as environmentally <br />sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area. <br />Utilities <br />County water and wastewater facilities are not available for <br />this part of the County. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the above analysis, including the fact that all of the <br />lard around the subject property is designated as Agricultural, <br />-and the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff <br />recommends that this request to redesignate the subject property <br />from AG, Agricultural, to RR -2, Rural Residential 2, be denied. <br />18a <br />SPR 18 1984 soOK 56 PACE751 <br />
