Existing Land Use Pattern <br />The subject property contains two, single-family residences, a <br />church, a grocery store, some vacant buildings and vacant land, <br />and is zoned C-1, Commercial District. North of the subject <br />property, across Oslo Road, is the Timber Ridge Tennis Club, <br />under development, which is zoned C-1 and R -2D, Multiple -Family <br />District. East of the tennis club are vacant land and <br />single-family residences in an R-1, Single -Family District. <br />East of the subject property -are the Knights of Columbus, <br />a single-family residence, Father and Son Appliances, a vacant <br />parcel of land, and two single-family residences in a C-1 <br />district. South of the subject property is undeveloped land in <br />an R-1 district. West of the subject property are <br />single-family residences and undeveloped land. <br />Future Land Use Pattern <br />The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and <br />all of the land northeast, east, south, and west of it as LD -2, <br />Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6'units/acre). Northwest of <br />the subject property is the easternmost part of the eastern <br />area of the Oslo Road MXD, Mixed Use District (up to 6. <br />units/acre). <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 80 acre U.S.1 and Oslo Road <br />commercial node is less than one-half mile east of the subject <br />property. Northwest of the subject property, extending one and <br />one-quarter miles to the west,. is the east area of the Oslo <br />Road MXD. This area is zoned C-1 and M-1, Restricted <br />Industrial District. The M-1 zoned area contains heavy <br />commercial uses. West of this MXD'area is some vacant land <br />zoned C -land there are commercial uses at 27th Avenue. West <br />of 27th Avenue, approximately 1,000 feet, is the west area of <br />the Oslo Road MXD which extends more than three-quarters of a <br />mile west to 43rd Avenue and is zoned C-1 and C -2r Heavy <br />Commercial District. Within these MXD areas and in the Oslo <br />Road/U.S.1 commercial node, there should be enough commercial <br />land to serve this a`cea of the County. <br />Based on the location of the commercial node at U.S, 1 and Oslo <br />Road and the commercial opportunities within the MXD areas, <br />redesignating the subject property Commercial would encourage <br />further strip commercial development along Oslo Road. If this <br />trend is unchecked, all of the land fronting on Oslo Road from <br />east of U.S. 1 westward to 43rd -Avenue (a distance of three and <br />one-half miles) could be designated as commercial or MXD and <br />zoned commercial. <br />Transportation System <br />The subject property has direct access to Oslo Road (classified <br />as an arterial street on the Thoroughfare Plan). Commercial <br />development of the subject property could attract up to 5,788' <br />average annual daily trips (AADT). Residential development of <br />the subject property would generate 735 AADT. Currently, Oslo <br />Road carries 6,000 AADT at level -of -service B. The additional <br />5,788 AADT would lower the level -of -service to D. <br />Environment <br />The subject property is not designated as environmentally <br />sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area. <br />21 194 pp <br />JUN 2 O BOOK 57 vrE 482 <br />� J <br />
