Future Land Use Pattern: <br />The Comprehensive Plan designates the land on the east side of <br />27th Avenue as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 <br />units/acre), and the land on the west side of 27th Avenue as <br />LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (up to 3 units/acre). One <br />thousand feet west of 27th Avenue on the north side of Oslo <br />Road is the eastern boundary of the west part of the Oslo Road <br />MXD, Mixed -Use District (up to 3 units/acre). <br />At the present time in the Oslo Road/27th Avenue area, there <br />are approximately 30.72 acres of land in commercial uses, <br />designated as neighborhood nodes, or necessary for infill <br />commercial to connect the existing and committed properties. <br />This acreage is broken down as: <br />1) Existing Commercial, Northeast corner - 1.12 acres; <br />2) Neighborhood node, Southwest corner - 4.6 acres; <br />3) Neighborhood node, Northwest corner - 7 acres; <br />4) Existing Commercial and infill property North of <br />Northwest corner - 18 acres. <br />Based on the existing and committed commercial development and <br />the need to provide for some future commercial development <br />in this area, a commercial node of 50 acres should be provided <br />at the 27th Avenue and Oslo Road intersection. <br />Transportation System: <br />Oslo Road is designated as an arterial street on the County's <br />Thoroughfare Plan. Emerson (27th) Avenue is currently des- <br />ignated as a primary collector street but is proposed to be <br />redesignated as an arterial street. The County's policy has <br />been to locate commercial nodes at major intersections. Based <br />on this policy, the intersection of Oslo Road and 27th Avenue <br />is a logical place for a commercial node. <br />TTti_1_ities: <br />County water and wastewater facilities are not available for <br />this area. However, County water facilities are scheduled to <br />be available in August. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission's recommendation, staff recommends that a 50 acre <br />commercial node be established at the intersection of Oslo Road <br />and 27th Avenue. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be <br />heard. <br />Elizabeth Mason, owner of the property on the southwest <br />corner of the intersection of Oslo Road and 27th Avenue, in- <br />formed the Board that she was totally in favor of the <br />proposed amendment which would establish 'a commercial node <br />at that intersection as she felt that she has no use of her <br />property as it now exists. <br />33 <br />AUG 15 1984 BOOK 5 8 FA„F 33 <br />
