FF,- JUN 61984 Boox 57 F': E 30® anticipated to utilize most of the land within this corridor. While the subject property and the land immediately adjacent to it are zoned C-lA, this does not appear to be an appropriate zoning classification for this area. On April 6, 1983, the Board of County Commissioners approved a request to rezone 17.1 acres located south of the subject property from C-lA to C-1, Commercial District to allow contractor's offices and general commercial uses. That request was approved before the C-2 district was created. Based on the existing land use pattern in this area, which includes wholesaling and warehousing which are not permitted in C-1 or C-lA zoning districts, but are allowed in C-2 districts, the proposed C-2 zoning of the subject property seems appropriate. In addition, other lands around the subject property should be considered for rezoning to C-2. Transportation Svstem The subject property has direct access to 4th Street (classified as a secondary collector on the Thoroughfare Plan). The maximum development of the subject property under a rezoning to C-2 would attract 32 average annual daily trips (AADT). Under the existing C-lA zoning, the maximum development of the subject property could attract up to 600 AADT. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive nor is it in a flood hazard area. Utilities County water facilities are available in this area. No County wastewater facilities are available. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, particularly the existing land use pattern and the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommenda- tion, staff recommends approval. In addition, staff recommends that the County initiate a rezoning to C-2 for the land adjacent to the subject property to maintain a consistent zoning pattern and to alleviate the nonconforming use status of the wholesale and warehouse facilities in the area. Mr. Shearer reported that the applicant talked to staff about an appropriate zoning, and staff felt C-2 would be preferable to M-1 in this area considering the surrounding uses. Staff felt the C-2 should cover a large area and therefore, recommended that additional area be rezoned. The Planning & Zoning Commission voted approval of the Blanchard request and then on May 24th voted to recommend approval for . rezoning 29 acres in this same area to C-2 as they felt this would give the area a more consistent land pattern.
