On August 22, 2013, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4—0 to recommend that the Board <br /> of County Commissioners approve this rezoning request. <br /> Existing Land Use Pattern <br /> In this area of the County, residential uses and residential zoning districts predominate south of <br /> Oslo Road, while commercial uses and Commercial zoning districts exist north of Oslo Road. <br /> Currently, the subject property is vacant land, and it is zoned RS-6 (attachment#4). <br /> The property to the north of the subject property is zoned RM-6, and it is vacant. To the east, west <br /> and south of the subject property, land is zoned RS-6 and is vacant. <br /> Future Land Use Pattern <br /> The subject property and all surrounding properties are designated L-2, Low density Residential-2 <br /> (up to 6 units/acre), on the Comprehensive Plan's Future Land Use Map. The L-2 designation <br /> permits various residential zoning districts up to 6 units/acre (attachment#4). <br /> Environment <br /> The Comprehensive Plan does not designate the subject property as either environmentally <br /> important or environmentally sensitive. According to Flood Insurance Rating Maps, the subject <br /> property does not contain any flood hazard areas. <br /> Utilities and Services <br /> The site is within the Urban Service Area of the County. Wastewater service is available to the site <br /> from the South County Wastewater Treatment Plant, while potable water service is available to the <br /> site from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant. <br /> Transportation System <br /> The subject property's west boundary abuts 9t' Court S.W., a local road. That roadway provides the <br /> subject property with access to Oslo Road. Classified as an Urban Principal Arterial on the Future <br /> Roadway Thoroughfare Plan Map, Oslo Road is a four lane paved road with approximately 160 feet <br /> of existing public road right-of-way. <br /> Zoning District Differences <br /> In terms of permitted uses, there are both similarities and differences between the existing RS-6 <br /> district and the proposed RM-6 district (see Attachment #3). Their respective purpose statements <br /> best illustrate the differences between the zoning districts. Those purpose statements, found in the <br /> County's Land Development Regulations (LDRs), are as follows: <br /> 118 <br />
