The land east of the <br />subject property is part of the U.S. Highway #1 Mixed Use <br />Corridor which extends 300 feet west of Old Dixie Highway. In <br />addition, there is an 80 acre commercial node at the <br />intersection of Oslo Road and U.S.#1. <br />The Land Use Element of the Comprehensive. Plan discourages <br />strip commercial development along arterial streets such as <br />Oslo Road, but encourages compact commercial development in <br />identified commercial nodes. The -subject property cannot <br />logically be included in the commercial node at U.S.#1 and Oslo <br />Road. At the present time, all of the existing commercial <br />zoning and commercial uses around this node are located on the <br />east side of U.S.#1 except for the PVC furniture center which <br />is at the southwest corner of U.S.#1 and Oslo Road. The <br />subject property is approximately 1200 feet west of these <br />commercial uses and zoning districts. The area between U.S.#1 <br />and Old Dixie Highway is undeveloped (except for the PVC <br />furniture center), zoned M--1, Restricted Industrial District, <br />and has a land use designation of MXD, Mixed Use. District (up <br />to 6 units/acre). West of Old Dixie and east of the subject <br />property is an area zoned R-1, Single -Family District (up to <br />6.2 units/acre), which contains single-family residences. While <br />this area is -also designated as MXD, it has traditionally been <br />a. single-family residential area and does not -seem to be <br />appropriate for commercial uses at this time. Redesignating <br />the subject property from LD -2 to Commercial would encourage <br />strip commercial development along Oslo Road, contrary to the <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />Transportation System <br />The subject property has direct access to Oslo Road (classified <br />as an arterial street on the County's Thoroughfare Plan). <br />Utilizing the maximum development allowed under a plan amend- <br />ment and current zoning, the development of the property would <br />attract approximately 1500 average annual daily trips (AADT). <br />Environment <br />The subject property is not environmentally sensitive nor is it <br />in a flood, -prone area. <br />Utilities <br />County water and wastewater facilities are not available for <br />the subject property. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based upon the above analysis, including the commercial node <br />policies of the Comprehensive Plan, and the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission's recommendation, staff recommends that the Board of <br />County Commissioners deny the applicants' request. <br />Michael O'Haire, attorney representing the applicants, <br />advised that the Fleischmans are requesting this redesignation <br />because the property was zoned commercial when they purchased <br />43 <br />�MAY 2-1984 <br />BOOK `56 PAGE 839 <br />
