Policy 2.2. Summary of Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan While the referenced policies are particularly applicable to this request, other Comprehensive Plan policies and objectives also have relevance. For that reason, staff evaluated the subject request for consistency with all plan policies and objectives. Based upon that analysis, staff determined that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Compatibility with the Surrounding Area Both subject properties are part of the overall Grand Harbor development. Currently, the land to the west of Subject Property 1 is designated C/I and zoned CL, Limited Commercial. As such, the proposed C/I designation of Subject Property 1 will result in a continuation of the existing Commercial/Industrial land use designation. Property located east of Subject Property 1 is undeveloped land owned by the applicant. South of Subject Property 1 are sites containing the Grand Harbor golf course maintenance area and other facilities. Property to the north of Subject Property 1 across 53rd Street is the proposed and partially constructed Reserve at Grand Harbor residential project which is owned by the applicant. Thus, Subject Property 1 does not abut any existing residential uses and does not abut any residentially zoned property except property owned by the applicant. Consequently, redesignating the subject property to C/I and rezoning the subject property to CG will not create any incompatibilities between Subject Property 1 and surrounding properties. Properties to the north and east of Subject Property 2 are zoned residential and contain a golf course. Property to the west and south of the Subject Property 2 are zoned RM -8 and contain The Falls at Grand Harbor residential project. Thus, Subject Property 2 is adjacent to multi -family residential property and a golf course and the proposed zoning change will extend the multi -family zoning around The Falls at Grand Harbor. Consequently, redesignating the subject property to M-1 and rezoning the subject property to RM -6 will not create any incompatibilities between the Subject Property 2 and surrounding properties. For those reasons, development of the subject properties under the proposed land use designations and zoning districts will be compatible with surrounding areas. Potential Impact on Environmental Quality For both properties, the environmental impact will be the same under the existing and the proposed land use designations and zoning districts. No adverse environmental impacts associated with this request are anticipated. CONCLUSION The proposed Future Land Use Map amendment and rezoning request is consistent with the comprehensive plan, compatible with all surrounding land uses, and will cause no adverse impacts on the environment or the provision of public services. For those reasons, staff supports the request. 7 94
