Future Land Use Policy 4.1 states that land use districts shall be located in a manner which concentrates urban uses, thereby discouraging sprawl. The rezoning is in an existing commercial node along SR 60 where the land use plan proposes to concentrate urban uses, such as the one proposed. Future Land Use Policy 5.4 encourages the use of the Planned Development (PD) overlay district to provide design flexibility. The PD overlay zoning district provides the ability to develop the entire long, narrow parcel as a mini storage use without some of the potential undesirable uses along SR 60 that a rezoning to CH, IL, or IG would allow. Compatibility with Surrounding Area Staff s position is that granting the request to rezone the property to PD will result in development which will be compatible with surrounding areas. Since the land to the east and west is zoned General Commercial (CG), and since the buildings closest to SR 60 are designed to look like general office uses, the request is generally consistent with the existing zoning pattern. As indicated on the conceptual plan, the most intense use of the site will occur near SR 60 with the office, residence, and majority of the parking; the storage buildings will be located close to the side lot lines with the building wall and accompanying required foundation plantings forming a buffer for the adjacent commercial property. The development will set back all hard improvements a minimum of 200' from the south property line, which is the property line nearest to a residential area. Concurrency Impacts No concurrency related services or facilities will be affected, since the rezoning is essentially a "lateral" rezoning. -Environmental Impacts These issues will be addressed in the plan analysis. PD PLAN ANALYSIS: The conceptual/preliminary PD plan indicates a small office, manager's residence, three mini storage buildings, and supporting infrastructure. 1. Size of Site: 4.76 acres 2.

Note: Three storage buildings are proposed, and will include externally accessed units with roll -up doors as well as some units accessed from within an enclosed building. 5.
