J U L 15 1996 <br />BOOK 65 vg. 12 <br />U.S. 1 could still maintain level -of -service "C" if this property <br />was rezoned to commercial. While the staff and the Planning and <br />Zoning Commission feel that the CL zoning district would be <br />appropriate for this area, the Board could consider a less <br />intense commercial zoning district such as the CN, Neighborhood <br />Commercial District, or the OCR, Office, Commercial and <br />Residential District. <br />Transportation System <br />The subject property has direct access to U.S. 1 (classified as <br />an arterial street on the Thoroughfare Plan). The maximum <br />development of the subject property under the proposed CL zoning <br />could generate up to 4,615 average annual daily trips (AADT). <br />Currently, U.S. 1 carries 23,900 AADT at level -of -service "B". <br />The additional trips would lower this level -of -service to "C" <br />based on a level -of -service "C" capacity of 31,000 AADT. <br />Environment <br />The subject property is not designated as enviornmentally <br />sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area. <br />Utilities <br />County water and wastewater facilities are available. <br />RECOMMENDATION _ <br />Based upon the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission's recommendation and preferred zoning district, staff <br />recommends that a 10'acre commercial node be established for the <br />subject property and that the subject property be rezoned to CL, <br />Limited Commercial District. <br />Commissioner Wodtke wished to know if the CL was °v3ted on by <br />the Planning & Zoning Commission, and Planner Shearer explained <br />that it was not an official vote; it was basically just an <br />indication of their preference. <br />Commissioner Bird inquired as to the difference in the per- <br />mitted uses in CG and CL, and Planner Shearer advised that CG <br />allows more intensive uses than CL, which is more oriented toward <br />retail type uses, and would permit such things as commercial <br />marinas, new and used car lots, and fruit and vegetable <br />packinghouses. <br />Commissioner Wodtke wished to know the differences between <br />CL and OCR districts, and Planner Shearer explained that OCR is <br />oriented more towards office type uses and closely associated <br />accessory uses. It also allows single family and multi family <br />residences and a very limited range of commercial use outside of <br />offices. CG is a very broad range of commercial use; CL is a <br />12 <br />M M M <br />
