Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property and the land south and west of it as part of the Gifford MXD, Mixed -Use District (up to 14 units/acre). The land east of the subject property is designated as part of the U.S. 1 MXD, Mixed -Use Corridor (up to 6 units/acre). The land immediately north of the subject property is generally designated as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre). However, there is a 100 acre industrial node located north of the subject property. This node is generally described as: "Another one hundred (100) acre node in the Gifford area is located west of U.S. 1 to Lateral H, south of the North Relief Canal to Lindsey Road." While the Comprehensive Plan generally recognizes residential use as the predominant land use in the Gifford area, the subject property is located at the northeast corner of the Gifford MXD adjacent to the U.S. 1 MXD and near the Lindsey Road industrial node. The Comprehen- sive Plan states that commercial and industrial uses are anticipated to utilize the majority of the land within the U.S. 1 Mixed Use Corridor. ` Based on the existing industrial uses east of the subject property, the industrial node located north of the subject property, and the fact that the subject property is located on the railroad, the proposed IL zoning of the subject property appears to be the most appropriate zoning. Transportation System The subject property has direct access to Lindsey Road (classified as a secondary collector street on the Thoroughfare Plan). The maximum development of the subject property based on the IL zoning_ could attract up to 194 average annual daily trips (AADT). The County is in the process of improving Lindsey Road including bridging Lateral - H Canal to facilitate the flow of traffic between U.S. 1 and Kings Highway. 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 available. RECOMMENDATION Based on the above analysis, particularly the existing and future land use patterns, and the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation, staff recommends approval. Commissioner Bowman asked where Clyde Morgan, who raised objections at the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, lived, and Planner Shearer believed it is south and west of the subject property. Commissioner Bowman commented that most of those who signed the petition presented at that meeting live 10-14 blocks away, and she did not feel they have any close interest in the area. 25 80fl1(' 04 P��.
