It s requested that the data herein presented be given formal con ideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their reg lar meeting of September 1,1987. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Mr. Steve Henderson, Attorney, acting on behalf of the Wilder Corporation, has submitted a request to amend the text of the CN, Neighborhood Commercial District section of the Zoning Ordinance. The ;applicant is requesting a reduction in the minimum distance separation between a neighborhood node and other areas where commercial activities are permitted, such as other neighborhood commercial nodes, nodes, MXD districts, etc. Currently, the ordinance will permit a reduction of up to .10 of a mile (528 feet) to the one mile minimum separation distance, if the following criteria are met: (i) The proposed node is located within an area having a land use designation of LD -2 or a higher density. (ii) The level of service on all streets providing direct and indirect service to the proposed node will not be downgraded. (iii) The creation of the node shall not increase the potential for strip commercial development. (iv) The residential character of the surrounding area shall not be negatively impacted. The Planning and Development Director is currently enabled to grant this reduction. The applicant, however, wishes to allow a reduction of up to .25 miles (1320 feet), in the one mile minimum separation distance, to place the ability to reduce the minimum separation with the Board of County Commissioners and to exclude other neighborhood nodes at the same intersection from being considered in the minimum separation distance. The applicant's clients intend to place a neighborhood node at the northeast corner of the intersection of 74th Avenue and S.R. 60. Currently, two neighborhood nodes exist at this intersection at the northwest and southwest corners. These nodes were created in June and September of 1985, respectively. 11 BOOK ' 69 PAGE 193 K
