Keating, AICPRA4K <br />Community Development Director <br />DATE: August 16, 1994 <br />SUBJECT: CONCERNED CITIZENS OF WABASSO REQUEST TO <br />ESTABLISH ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS <br />FOR THE WABASSO AREA <br />It is requested that the information herein presented be given <br />formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its <br />regular meeting of August 23, 1994. <br />DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS: <br />On July 17, 1994, the Concerned Citizens of Wabasso sent a letter <br />to County Administrator James"Chandler, requesting that the County <br />establish additional development regulations for the Wabasso area. <br />In that letter, the group also asked that this request be discussed <br />at the August 23, 1994 meeting of the Board of County <br />Commissioners. <br />According to - the July 17th letter, the principal concern of <br />Concerned Citizens of Wabasso is aesthetics. Anticipating that <br />commercial development may increase significantly along the CR 510 <br />corridor from Kings Highway to SR AIA and along the US#1 corridor <br />from 81st Street to 95th Street, the group wants to ensure that <br />future development in this area "preserves the natural beauty of <br />this area as much as possible." To ensure that this occurs, the <br />group is requesting that the Board establish a specific set of <br />upgraded requirements which would apply to development in this <br />area. <br />ALTERNATIVES•& ANALYSIS: <br />Prior to the July 17th letter having been sent, staff had discussed <br />this issue with representatives of Concerned Citizens of Wabasso. <br />In those discussions, staff had indicated that corridor plans <br />and/or overlay zoning districts could be established for areas <br />where additional regulations are warranted. <br />Corridor plans are usually done for areas with special <br />characteristics. In such cases, it is usually recognized that <br />general development regulations which apply jurisdictionwide may <br />not be adequate to address issues relating to a particular <br />corridor. Such issues can involve access, landscaping, signage, <br />land use, and others. <br />14 <br />August 23, 1994 <br />� s � <br />
