The land fronting 43rd Avenue in this area has been zoned C-1, Commercial District, for many years. The land on the east side of 43rd Avenue is designated as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre) on the land use plan, and the land on the west side of 43rd Avenue is' designated as LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (up to -3 units/acre). However, several of the properties along 43rd Avenue developed in commercial uses prior to the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, and two site plans for future commercial development were submitted prior to the adoption of the Plan. The result has been vacant lots designated as residential on the land use plan and zoned C-1 which are situated between existing commercial uses. On May 16, 1984, the Board of County Commissioners approved a County -initiated request to rezone 6 acres on the east side of 43rd Avenue, south of 4th Street and north of the Moose Lodge from C-1 to R-1, Single -Family District. On November 21, 1984, the Board of County Commissioners approved a County -initiated request to rezone 6.83 acres located on the east side of 43rd Avenue, 230 feet south of 1st Street SW and north of the South Relief Canal from C-1 to R-1. On December 20, 1984, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered this study and instructed the staff to schedule a public hearing on this matter. On January 24, 1985, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4 -to -4 to recommend approval of this request based on paragraph 5 on page 34 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. 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. 20
