I <br />FEB 6 1985 % <br />BOOK 59 - <br />Future <br />Future Land Use Pattern <br />The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and <br />the land north, south, and east of it as part of the U.S.#1 <br />MXD, Mixed Use Corridor (up to 6 units/acre). The land <br />approximately 150 feet west of the subject property is <br />designated as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 <br />units/acre). <br />The MXD land use designation includes areas where there is a <br />mixture of residential, commercial, and industrial land uses. <br />The Comprehensive Plan states that within MXD areas, "the <br />County shall encourage, where appropriate, redevelopment in <br />accordance with the dominant land uses and the health, safety <br />and welfare of area residents." The predominant land use on <br />the west side of Old Dixie Highway is single-family <br />residential. There are commercial uses on the east side of Old <br />Dixie Highway, and there will probably be additional commercial <br />development on the east side of Old Dixie in the future. <br />However, Old Dixie Highway has traditionally served as the <br />boundary between residential development and R-1 zoning on the <br />west side of the road, and the commercial zoning on the east <br />side of the road. In order to provide a buffer between the <br />single-family dwellings west of the subject property and the <br />commercial uses to the east, _the subject property could <br />reasonably be rezoned to allow multiple -family residences. <br />Transportation System <br />The subject property has direct access to Old Dixie Highway <br />(classified as a secondary collector street on the Thoroughfare <br />Plan). The maximum development of the subject property under <br />the R -2D zoning could generate up. to 42 average annual daily <br />trips (AADT). Currently, Old Dixie carries 8,000 AADT at <br />level -of -service "C". <br />Environment <br />The subject property is not designated as environmentally <br />sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area. <br />Utilities <br />County water is available for this area, but wastewater <br />facilities are not available. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the above analysis, including the existing land use <br />pattern, the fact that there is commercial development east of <br />this site, and the Planning and Zoning Commission's <br />recommendation, staff recommends that the subject property be <br />rezoned to R -2D, Multiple -Family District. <br />19 <br />
