Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan generally designates the north and west parts of the subject property as MD -1, Medium -Density Residen- tial 1 (up to 8 units/acre), and the south and east parts of the subject property (including the hospital) as LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (up to 3 units/acre). However, the Plan also designates.a 130 acre hospital/commercial node north of the hospital, along 37th Street. This 130 acre node does not include the hospital's property. The Comprehensive Plan describes hospital/commercial nodes as: The hospital commercial node is a concept which permits the flexibility to promote a wide variety of uses which support or are accessory to a major medical facility. Selective uses within residential, institutional and commercial zoning districts may be permitted. In effect, the node would encompass a Commercial/Residential/Insti- tutional mix with selective uses being permitted, which are outlined in the County's land development ordinances. The MED District was created specifically to be used with the hospital/commercial nodes. The purpose of the MED District is described as follows: The MED, Medical District is intended to implement the Comprehensive Plan policies for managing the development of the major portions of lands designated as part of a hospital/commercial node, to provide a variety of uses which support a major medical facility, and to protect such major medical facility from encroachment by land uses which may have an adverse effect on the operation and potential expansion of the facility. Land uses that could cause an adverse effect would generally include those uses that are likely to be objectionable to neigh- boring properties because of noise, vibration, odors, smoke, amount o= traffic attracted or generated, or other physical manifestations. Based on the stated Purpose of the hospital/ commercial nodes and the purpose of the MED District, the MED District is the most appropriate zoning district for the hospital and the land adjacent to it. This rezoning request includes the hospital's 75.45 acres of land and 74.53 acres of land adjacent to the hospital. Rezoning :his adjacent property to MED would leave 55.47 acres (130 - 4.53) of the node unallocated. Transportation Svstp- The subject property has direct access to 37th Street (clas- sified as a secondar: collector street on the Thoroughfare Plan). Rezoning the subject property could attract an addi- tional 9,823 average annual daily trips (AADT). However, the existing zoning alicws for future development that could attract an additions-_ 7,069 AADT. Environment The subject proper:_ is not designated as environmentally sensitive. However, the eastern half of the subject property is in a flood -prone area. The eastern one-third of the subject property is in an Zone which includes areas within the 100 -year flood pla_. The base flood elevation for this area is "5". The remai"--='g parts of the subject property in a flood -prone area are in a B zone which includes areas between the limits of a 10:-7ear flood and a 500 -year flood. 33 S E P 19 1994 BOOK 58 Ft{,f 155 L-7-
