DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS The County is initiating a request to rezone 32.7 acres located on the north side of Wabasso Road (County Road 510) and west of Rings Highway from C-1, Commercial District, to R -2D, Multiple -Family District (up to 6 units/acre). On June 6, 1984, the Board of County Commissioners rezoned 42.5 acres, located west of the subject property, from C-1 to R-1, Single -Family District (up to 6.2 units/acre). At that time, the Board excepted the subject property from that rezoning, at the request of the owner, with the understanding that the property would be considered instead for rezoning to an appropriate multiple -family district. On August 23, 1984, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 -to -0 to recommend approval of this request. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented. The analysis will include a description of the current and future land uses of the site and surrounding areas,,potential impacts on the transportation and utility systems, and any significant adverse impacts on environmental quality. Existing Land Use Pattern The subject property and the land north of it, is undeveloped. West of the subject property are single-family residences in an R-1, Single -Family District. South of the subject property are single-family residences and duplexes in R-1, R-2, and C-1 zoning districts. East of the subject property is a vacant commercial building, vacant land, and a house in a C-1 district. Further east is a flea market, a vacant industrial building, and residences in an M-1, Restricted Industrial District. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and all the property north, east, and west of it as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre). The land south of the subject property, across Wabasso Road, is designated as LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (up to 3 units/acre). In addition, there is a 150 acre commercial/industrial node located at the intersection of Wabasso Road and U.S.l. Much of the land east of the subject property will be included in the node. Rezoning the subject property to R -2D would provide a buffer between the commercial and industrial uses to the east and the single-family residences to the west. Transportation System The subject property has direct access to Wabasso Road (classified as an arterial street on the County's Thoroughfare Plan). The maximum development of the subject property under the proposed R -2D zoning would generate approximately 1,177 average annual daily trips. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive nor is it in a floodprone area. 17 BOOK 58 P'GF 5 d 4 J
