subject property, properties within approximately 300 feet of 27th Avenue are also designated C/I. The C/I designation permits various commercial and industrial zoning districts. The remaining land north and south of the subject property, and land at the southeast corner of Oslo Road and 27th Avenue are designated L-2, Low -Density Residential -2, on the future land use map. The L-2 designation permits residential uses with a density of up to 6 units/acre. Environment Portions of the site, particularly along 27th Avenue, have been cleared for development. The majority of the site, however, consists of pine flatwoods. Examination of aerial photographs indicates that the western portion of the site contains a small wetland area. According to Flood Insurance Rating Maps, the subject property is not within a flood hazard area. Utilities and Services The site is within the Urban Service Area of the county. Water lines extend to the site from the South County Reverse Osmosis Plant. Wastewater lines from the South Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant also extend to the site. Transportation System The subject property abuts Oslo Road and 27th Avenue. Both of those roads are two-lane paved roads that are classified as urban principal arterial roadways on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map. This segment of 27th Avenue has approximately 100 feet of existing public road right-of-way. The portion of Oslo Road that abuts the site has approximately 130 feet of existing public road right-of-way. Both of those roads are programmed for expansion to 4 lanes by 2005. Zoning District Differences There are many similarities and some differences between the existing CL zoning district and the proposed CG district. The CL district is intended to serve, and be more compatible with, nearby residential development. Therefore, in terms of permitted uses, the CL district is generally more restrictive. In contrast, the CG district allows somewhat more intense commercial development. The differences between the districts are best illustrated by their purpose statements. These purpose statements are as follows: • CL, Limited Commercial District. The CL, limited commercial district, is intended to provide areas for the development of restricted commercial activities. The CL district is intended to accommodate the convenience retail and service needs of area residents, while minimizing the impact of such activities on any nearby residential areas. • CG, General Commercial District. The CG, general commercial district, is intended to provide areas for the development of general retail sales and selected service activities. The CG district is not intended to provide for heavy commercial activities, such as commercial service uses, heavy repair services nor industrial uses. 37 January 21, 1997 BOOK !U@ FAG- X13
