It has been our experience in past applications that <br />changes in zoning from CL to CG do not warrant the need for a traffic study, <br />since the common uses permitted in either district are the most intense traffic <br />generations when compared to all other permitted uses. Consequently, the <br />traffic impacts are similar, and a traffic impact analysis is not needed or <br />required. <br />Justification Statement: <br />4n November 2",._202, we met with -tai€ discuss ths.:possibie rezoning. of this site to tH or <br />CG. Christopher Balter indicated that the site is surrounded by more intense zoning districts W <br />staff could support a zoning change to either district, or split with both districts. (The site is <br />surrounded by CH to the East and South, IG to the West, and CG to the North). The applicant <br />desires to change the zoning district to CG. The current zoning of CL only permits office uses <br />and some limited retail uses and excludes uses such as drive-thru restaurants construction/ <br />trades uses; storage or warehousing; boat, RV, and automotive repair/storage, and sale; and <br />does not allow many other retail uses. Due to changes in the economy and employment <br />practices and retail business services, the typical C.L. uses are not favorable for development <br />and business opportunities.
