CA On January 23, 1985, the Board of County Commissioners rezoned 30.8 acres of land east and west of the subject property from C-1 to single-family. The subject property was not included in that request because it contained an existing commercial use. On August 22, 1985, the Planning and Zoning Commission tabled action on these requests. On September 12, 1985, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4--to-0 to recommend approval of both of these requests. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS In this section,'an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented. The analysis will include a description of the current and future land uses of the site and surrounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and utility systems, and any, significant adverse impacts on environmental quality. ' Existing Land Use Pattern The subject property contains a grove caretaking business. North of the subject property, across Oslo Road, are vacant lots zoned M-1, Restricted Industrial District, and vacant lots and single-family dwellings zoned C-1. Further north are single-family dwellings and vacant lots zoned RS -6, Single -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre). East of the subject property are single=family dwell- ings, a church and vacant land zoned RS -6 on the south side of Oslo Road; and a pool hall, grocery store, single-family dwellings, and vacant land zoned C-1 on the north side of Oslo Road. South of the subject property is vacant land zoned C-1 and single-family dwellings and vacant land zoned RS -6. West of the subject property are single- family dwellings and vacant land zoned RS -6 --on the south side `of Oslo Road; and single-family dwellings and vacant lots zoned C-1, and warehouses, auto repair facilities, auto cleaning businesses, and other heavy commercial uses zoned M-1 on the north side of Oslo Road. Future Land Use Pattern The Comprehensive Plan designates the north three hundred feet of the subject property and the land north and west of it as part of the Oslo Road MXD, Mixed -Use District (up to 6 units/acre). The south one hundred feet of the subject property and the land east, south, and west of it is designated as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre). While the staff recommended denial of the applicant's original Compre- hensive Plan amendment and rezoning requests for this property, the staff and the applicant's attorney met to work out problems staff had with the original request. Staff's main problem was extending the MXD area to cover undeveloped lands where conditions have not changed since the Comprehensive Plan was adopted. However, the amended Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezoning requests cover only the part of the applicants' property currently in commercial use. Staff feels that since the south 100 feet of the subject property is currently in commercial use that it could more reasonably be included in the, MXD area to the north than the LD -2 land use designation to the south. The requested CH zoning is consistent with the County's recent rezoning of 28 acres west of the subject property from C-1 to CH and would allow less intense land uses than the M-1 zoning to the north. 27 OCT �9� BOOK 'PAGE 418 i
