Future Land Use Pattern The subject property and abutting properties on all sides are designated C/I, Commercial/Industrial, on the future land use map. The C/I designation permits various commercial and industrial zoning districts. Environment More than 90k of the site has been cleared for development. The remaining land contains scrubby flatwoods. A cursory review of aerial photographs indicates that the site does not contain any wetland areas. According to Flood Insurance Rating Maps, the northern portion of the subject property is within a Flood Zone "A", which indicates an area for which the base flood elevation has not yet been determined. The rest of the site is not in a flood hazard area. 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 West Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant also extend to the site. The subject property abuts SR 60. Classified as an urban principal arterial roadway on the future roadway thoroughfare plan map, this segment of SR 60 is a four -lane divided road with approximately 160 feet of public road right-of-way. No expansion of this segment of SR 60 is currently programmed. West of 100th Avenue, however, SR 60 is programmed for expansion to four lanes by 2000. In terms of permitted uses, there are both similarities and differences between the existing CH district and the proposed CG district. As a transitional type of zoning district having more intense uses than general commercial districts and less intense uses than industrial districts, the CH district is oriented to uses such as warehouses, contractor trades, and repair establishments. In contrast, the CG district is intended for retail, office, and service commercial development. The differences between the districts are best illustrated by their purpose statements. These purpose statements, found in the county's land development regulations, are as follows: • CH, Heavy Commercial District. The CH, Heavy Commercial, district is intended to provide areas for establishments engaging in wholesale trade, major repair services and restricted light manufacturing activities. The CH district is further intended to provide support services necessary for the development of commercial and industrial uses allowed within other non-residential zoning districts. • 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. 51 August 12, 1997 BOOK .1.04 FACE 2 1 4
