Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and all of the land around it (except the property in the City) as part of the Gifford MXD, Mixed -Use District (up to 14 units/acre). The Gifford MXD allows residential, commercial or industrial land uses which will be regulated by the zoning ordinance. The Comprehensive Plan states that, within MXD areas, the County shall encourage redevelopment in accordance with the dominant land uses and the health, safety, and welfare of area residents. Based on the existing land use pattern in this area (including the police pistol range and the auto repair facilities) and considering the uses approved for this area (the County jail and the Humane Society), the RS -6 zoning of the subject property no longer seems to be appropriate. The proposed C-2 zoning would not allow heavy industrial uses, but would allow redevelopment in appropriate commercial uses. Transportation System The subject property has direct access to 43rd Avenue (classified as a primary collector street on the Thoroughfare Plan) and to 41st Street (classified as a secondary collector street). The maximum development of the subject property under the C-2 zoning would attract up to 2,300 average annual daily trips. Environment The subject property is not designated as environmentally sensi- tive nor is it in a flood -prone area. T74- i l 1 4- , -- County water is available at the intersection of 43rd Avenue and South Gifford Road. County wastewater facilities are not avail- able. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning Commissions's recommendation, staff recommends approval. Planner Richard Shearer presented staff's recommendation for approval of the rezoning and showed slides of the subject area. He noted that no objections were raised by the residents of the area at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting of June 27, 1985..- Commissioner 985.. Commissioner Wodtke asked if there was a commercial node in that area as he wanted to be sure that U.S. #1 corridor is MXD, and Mr. Shearer advised that there was is no node in that area and was designated as MXD. Vice Chairman Scurlock questioned the availability of utilities in that area. Vice Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There were none.
