residential development would be <br />be surrounded on three sides <br />development. <br />forced to locate where it would <br />by industrial and commercial <br />On. September 10, 1987, the Planning and 'Zoning Commission voted <br />5-0 to recommend approval of this request. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS <br />In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the appli- <br />cation will be presented. The analysis will include a descrip- <br />tion of the current and future land uses of the site and sur- <br />rounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and <br />utility systems, and any significant adverse impacts on environ- <br />mental quality. <br />Normally when staff reviews a request to enlarge a node, an <br />examination of the recent development activity and level of <br />interest are examined. Additionally, staff looks at the <br />long-range implications of the increase in acreage upon the area <br />in relation to anticipated development patterns. <br />Because of the location of this node at the intersection of two <br />main state wide transportation corridors, it is believed that <br />this will be a primary location for commercial and industrial <br />development. Several new industrial developments have been <br />proposed for the industrially zoned properties along 98th Avenue, <br />south of S.R. 60, and additional interest has been shown in other <br />areas of the node. This node is located at the west end of the <br />S.R. 60 corridor which has a large amount of multifamily zoning, <br />is provided with public water and sewer, and is anticipated to be <br />a main growth area for the unincorporated portion of the County. <br />Current Land Use Patterns <br />The first parcel located north of S.R. 60 and east of 85th Ct. <br />contains 12 nonconforming mobile homes and vacant property zoned <br />RM -6, Multi -Family Residential District (up to 6 units/acre). <br />The property east contains a mobile home park zoned RMH-8, <br />Residential Mobile Home District (up to 8 units/acre). The <br />property north is vacant and zoned RM -6. The property west of <br />the subject parcel contains several single-family homes and <br />vacant lots zoned CL, Limited Commercial. South of the subject <br />parcel across S.R. 60 is vacant land zoned CG, General <br />Commercial. <br />The use of the second parcel' is currently vacant land and groves <br />zoned RM -6 and A-1. To the east of the subject property is I-95. <br />To the west of this property are groves zoned IL, Light <br />Industrial District. North of the subject property are groves <br />and single-family residences zoned CG, General Commercial. <br />South of the subject parcel are groves zoned A-1, Agricultural <br />District (up to 1 unit/5 acres). <br />The third parcel currently contains an air strip and groves, and <br />is zoned A-1. To the west across 98th Avenue are several <br />industrial uses such as Ramp Master zoned IL. To the south of <br />the subject property are groves zoned A-1, with groves also lying <br />east zoned IL, and north zoned CG. <br />Future Land Use Pattern <br />The Comprehensive Plan designates the first subject property as <br />MD -1, Medium Density Residential (allowing up to 8 units/acre). <br />The lands lying north and west are also designated as MD -1. The <br />lands west and south across S.R. 60 lie within the current <br />boundary of the I-95/S.R. 60 Commercial/Industrial Node. <br />OCT 2 7 17 31 BOOK 69 FAGE 804 <br />
