The subject parcel is located on the northeast corner of the S.R. 60/74th Avenue intersection in the southwest corner of'the Village Green Mobile Home Park. On September 1, 1987, the Board of County Commissioners voted to deny a request made by the Wilder Corporation to amend the CN, Neighborhood Commercial zoning district decreasing the minimum distance separation between neighborhood nodes and other areas where commercial activity is permitted. If this request had been approved, the applicant would have applied for CN zoning for this parcel. On September 10, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend denial of this request. The denial was based on the unsuitability of this location for a commercial node. The applicant has appealed the denial of the rezoning. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the application will be presented.
