The purpose of this <br />request is to secure the zoning necessary to develop the site with future uses permitted in the RM -6 <br />zoning district. The subject site is depicted in (Attachment 1). <br />Note: The current A-1 zoning designation of the subject parcel are considered remnant "holding zones" <br />within the Urban Service Area (USA) until the property owner, based on market conditions, requests a <br />rezoning consistent with the property's land use designation. The purpose of this request is to secure the <br />zoning necessary to develop the property with uses appropriate in the USA and permitted in the requested <br />zoning district. <br />Existing Land Use Pattern <br />This portion of the county consists of a mixture of commercial, industrial, multi -family residential uses, <br />and undeveloped land. The subject property is currently zoned A-1, Agricultural -1 District. To the north <br />of the subject property is undeveloped agricultural land, to the west is developed industrial land, and to <br />the south and east is undeveloped multi -family land. <br />Zoning District Differences <br />In terms of permitted uses, there are both similarities and differences between the existing A-1 district <br />and the proposed RM -6 (see Attachments 4 and 5). The respective zoning districts' purpose statements <br />best illustrate the differences between the zoning districts. These purpose statements, found in the <br />County's Land Development Regulations (LDRs), are as follows: <br />408 <br />
