FF'_ 1 MAY 1 1985 BOOK t�°� FvIYE 768 Alternative 3 The third alternative is to amend the land use plan and rezone the property to square off the zoning district boundary. Currently, the commercial corridor land use designation and C-1 zoning district boundaries are 600 feet east of U.S. 1 which means that they bisect many properties on the east side of U.S. 1. If the land use plan were amended to allow some flexibility in the 600 foot depth of the corridor, the C-1 zoning district boundary could be altered to be perpendicular to 8th Street and parallel to 6th AVenue. This would allow more than the 600 foot depth of commercial zoning on the north side of the property and allow more frontage on 8th Street for residential development. This should make the property easier to develop for commercial uses to the west and residential uses to the east. Transportation System The subject property has direct access to 6th Avenue and 8th _ Street (both classified as secondary collector streets on the Thoroughfare Plan). The maximum development of the subject property under the proposed C-1 zoning could attract up to 1,862 average annual daily trips (AADT). When combined with the commercial property to the west, the entire site could attract 5,626 AADT. Under the current zoning, development of the subject property would generate -133 AADT, and development of the parcel to the west would attract 3,764 AADT. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area. Utilities County water is available for the subject property. A force main sewer may be extended to serve property directly east of the subject property in the near future. However, there is inadequate capacity in the County's wastewater allocation to serve the subject property at this time. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, including the existing land use pattern, the fact that the subject property could accommodate 19 dwelling units under the current zoning, and the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff recommends that the subject property not be redesignated as Commercial and that it not be rezoned to C-1, Commercial District. 52
