Nearing"o"e4 Staff Planner, Long -Range Planning It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of October 27, 1987. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS Mr. Frank Baratta, as represented by Steve Henderson, Attorney, has requested an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to extend the U.S. 1 commercial corridor an additional 500 feet east of U.S. l along the south side of 17th Street to 6th Avenue, and to rezone 2.5 acres of property from_ RM -10, Multiple -Family Residential District (up to 10 units/acre) to OCR, Office, Commercial and Residential District (up to 6 units/acre). The subject property is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of 17th Street and 6th Avenue. The proposed land use change is from MD -1, Medium Density Residential 1 (allowing up to 10 units/acre) to U.S. 1 Commercial Corridor.. On February 17, 1987, the Board of County Commissioners denied a similar request for this property. The requested zoning at that time was for CL, Limited Commercial. On June 16, 1987, the Board of County Commissioners denied a County initiated request to rezone 5 acres, which included the subject property from RM -10 to PRO, Professional Office District (up to 6 units/acre). On September 10, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend denial of the Comprehensive Plan amendment and also to deny the rezoning. The applicant has appealed the denial of the rezoning. The reason for denial was based on County policy to avoid promoting strip commercial development. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS In this section, an analysis of the reasonableness of the appli- cation will be presented. The analysis will include a descrip- tion of the current and future land uses of the site and sur- rounding areas, potential impacts on the transportation and utility systems, and any significant adverse impacts on environ- mental quality. Currently, the Comprehensive Plan will permit commercial zoning to extend beyond the originally established 600 foot depth of the commercial corridor to a maximum depth of 800 feet if it meets one of the following criteria. 1. The Property is located on an arterial street as designated on the County's Thoroughfare Plan; 2. The property is part of a larger parcel of land that has at least 100 feet of frontage on U.S. 1 and extends more than 600 feet east of the east right-of-way line of U.S. 1; or 49 L�OCT @x.1987 ROOK. 69 u"IF.M
