_I BOOK 58 FnE 653 commercial would create a great deal of traffic. She, therefore, urged the Commission to leave this as a residential area. Commissioner Bird raised a question about the Smith and Carter property that was outlined on the map, and Mr. Shearer explained that property was up for rezoning previously, but it was denied because it directly abuts residential; it was a completely different situation. Chairman Scurlock commented that while the MXD was intended to allow flexibility and encourage redevelopment, it was supposed to be consistent with the existing land use, which in this area seems to be single family. He further noted that there is an offset at that particular intersection, and you come into a "T", which is somewhat of a dangerous situation at best. Planner Shearer noted that when you go west of 43rd Avenue, it is predominantly industrial, and he asked if we are going to draw the line at 43rd or have some type of transition between single family and industrial. Chairman Scurlock asked if he felt commercial would be more of -a transition than multiple family, and Mr. Shearer felt stepping down from industrial to a restricted commercial and then down to multiple family and on to single family would provide the transition, especially since this does have multiple family on two sides. Gary Anthony, one of the owners of the subject property, pointed out that the only opposition he hears is from the School Board. He informed the Commission that his family originally owned the 40 acres on which the school sits. They needed the property for a school and offered his family $1,000; his father gave it to them, and then without notifying him, they took away the heavy industrial on the remaining acres. He continued that he has been before the County staff who recommended the change to C -1A, and the Planning & Zoning Commission who approved it, and he felt the Board should go along with their Planning & Zoning Commission and staff's recommendations. 18
