DEC 5 1984 BOOK 59 PAGE 92 8 units/acre). In addition, there is a 300 acre commercial/industrial node at the intersection of I-95 and State Road 60. The land east and north of the subject property has been included in the node. While the C-2 zoning appears to be appropriate for the subject property, based on the surrounding zoning districts and existing land use pattern, there is insufficient acreage in the node to include the subject property at this time. Since the I-95 and S.R. 60 node was enlarged from 230 acres to 300 acres last Spring, the County has rezoned 40.89 acres west of 98th Avenue to M-1, Restricted Industrial District, and has included an additional 50.58 acres of land located west of 98th Avenue in the node. Presently, 120 acres of land west of 98th Avenue are included in the node (including 91.47 acres of undeveloped land), and another 100 acres of existing commercial and industrial uses to the east of 98th Avenue are included in the node. The necessary infill property to connect these properties includes an additional 80 acres. Based on the location of the existing commercial and industrial uses, the undeveloped land that has been included in the node, and the necessary infill land, there are not 20.63 acres of land left in this node that can be allocated to the subject property. Transportation System The subject property has direct access to 90th Avenue (classified as a secondary collector street on the Thoroughfare Plan). Developing the subject property for a commercial subdivision would attract 1870 Average Annual Daily Trips (AADT). Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area. Utilities County water and wastewater facilities are not available for the subject property. RECOMMENDATION The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of this request for the reasons stated in the Description & Conditions section -of this memorandum. The Planning Department agrees with the Planning and Zoning -that the C-2 zoning district is the most appropriate zoning district for the subject property and that this property should be included in the node when additional acreage is available. However, staff recommends that the subject property not be rezoned until the node is enlarged. Mr. Shearer emphasized that staff agrees the request is reasonable, but the problem is not enough acreage in the -node. The Planning & Zoning Commission favored proceeding with the rezoning based on the applicable provision in the Land Use Plan, but staff still feels.they would prefer to see the node enlarged first. They will be putting together a proposal to enlarge the node in January. 14
