Existing Land Use Pattern <br />The subject property is presently undeveloped. There is vacant <br />land zoned CL, located south of the subject property. There are <br />commercial establishments and vacant land, zoned CL, located west <br />of the subject property. North of the subject property is <br />undeveloped property zoned RM -6. The property to the east of the <br />subject site is also undeveloped and zoned RS -6, Single -Family <br />Residential District (up to 6 units/acre). Approximately 15 <br />acres of the node are presently being utilized for commercial <br />activities. <br />Future Land Use Pattern <br />The subject property is presently designated as LD -2, Low -Density <br />Residential 2 (allowing up to 6 units/acre) on the Comprehensive <br />Plan and is located adjacent to the Oslo Road/27th Avenue <br />Commercial Node. The property to the south and west of the <br />subject property is part of the Oslo Road /27th Avenue <br />Commercial node. The land located west of -the node is designated <br />as LD -1, Low -Density Residential 1 (up to 3 units/acre). The <br />land to the north and east of the subject property is designated <br />as LD -2, Low -Density Residential 2 (up to 6 units/acre). <br />Inclusion of the subject property into the commercial node would <br />establish a natural feature boundary for the node, and it would <br />produce a more unified development pattern with the existing <br />commercially zoned land to the south. Therefore, it would <br />enhance the usefulness of the subject parcel. <br />Transportation System <br />The subject property has direct access from 27th Avenue, <br />classified as an arterial, and 5th Street S.W., classified as a <br />secondary collector on the County Thoroughfare Plan. The <br />additional 2 acres of commercial development would not create a <br />significant impact on the level -of -service "A" that presently <br />exists along 27th Avenue. <br />Environment <br />The subject property is not designated as environmentally <br />sensitive nor is it in a flood -prone area. <br />Utilities <br />A County watermain runs along the north side of Oslo Road. <br />wastewater facilities are available at the present time. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Based on the above analysis, including the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission's recommendation staff recommends that the <br />Comprehensive Plan be amended to include the subject property in <br />the commercial node and rezone to CL, Limited Commercial. <br />54 <br />MAR 15 1988 <br />Nor 71 FM E 223 <br />
