r JUN 12 1985 BOOK 61 r,I, 29 uses as defined in all applicable land development ordinances including, but not limited to, the zoning and subdivision ordinances. The characteristics of a neighborhood will also'be considered in determining uses which will be allowed in a particular neighborhood commercial node. However, the Planning Department has proposed an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan based on discussions of neighborhood nodes at node workshops in 1983 and 1984. This proposed amendment lists specific criteria for designating neighborhood nodes, including limiting the size of neighborhood nodes to six acres and requiring that neighborhood nodes be at least one mile from any other neighborhood node, commercial node, commercial/industrial node, hospital/commercial node, tourist/commercial node or MXD area. The subject property does not meet either of the criteria listed above. The subject property is larger than the six acre size limit and is only 4,793.4 feet (.91 miles) west of the neighborhood commercial node located at the northwest corner of the intersection of State Road 60 and is only 3,936.4 feet (.75 miles) east of the First Bankers' facility located at 8055 20th Street which has been considered the eastern boundary of the I-95 and State Road 60 commercial/industrial node. Transportation System The subject property has direct access to State Road 60 (classified as an arterial street on the Thoroughfare Plan) and to 74th Avenue (classified as a secondary collector street). The maximum development of the subject property as a neighborhood commercial area could attract up to 6,887 average annual daily trips. 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. County wastewater facilities are not currently available. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, particularly the facts that the subject property meets neither the size nor distance criteria proposed for establishing neighborhood commercial nodes, and the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff recommends that this rezoning request be denied. Richard Shearer, Chief of Long -Range Planning, recalled that at last week's meeting the Board adopted an ordinance amending the Comprehensive Land Use Plan limiting the size of neighborhood nodes to 3 acres and requiring a minimum distance of one mile with a variance procedure to allow neighborhood nodes to be 18 M r
