AUG 7 1985 BOOK 61 f',�jr 793 The Comprehensive Plan states that commercial and industrial uses are anticipated to utilize the majority of the land area within the U.S. 1 Mixed Use Corridor. Based on this policy and the fact that this property will probably abut the commercial node at U.S. 1 and Oslo Road, this request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and consistent with the future zoning of this area. Transportation System The subject property has direct access to U.S. 1 (classified as an arterial street on the Thoroughfare Plan). The maximum development of the subject property under C-1 zoning could attract up to 1,897 average annual daily trips. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensi- tive nor is it in a flood -prone area. TT4-i 1,4 -,oma. A 10 inch watermain runs along the east side of U.S. 1 south of Oslo Road. County wastewater facilities are not available. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff recommends approval. Commissioner Bird emphasized that we have an opportunity to do something really outstanding in that U.S. #1 corridor. If we don't, he believed we will end up with something similar to all the curb cuts St. Lucie County has along their stretch of the highway and he felt that situation should be avoided. Planning & Development Director Robert Keating advised that the new Site Plan Ordinance has specific provisions to address that problem. Vice Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. John Dean, project architect, advised that he would be glad to answer any questions. There were none. ON MOTION by Commissioner Wodtke, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) closed the Public Hearing. 19
