lone Change #R04-OO5 P & Z (5/20/04) Page 2 of3 Conclusion: . Character of the surrounding and adjacent areas; . Existing use of nearby properties, and extent to which a land use classification would be in harmony with such existing uses or the anticipated use of the properties; . Suitability of the property for the uses to which would be permissible, considering density, access and circulation, adequacy of public facilities and services, and other considerations; . Extent to which the designated use of the property would harm the value of adjacent land use classifications; . Extent to which the proposed use designation would adversely affect the capacity or safety of that portion of the road network influenced by the use; . Extent to which the proposed use designation would permit excessive air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, or other environmental harm on adjacent land use designations; and, . The gain, if any, to the public health, safety, and welfare due to the existence of the land use designation. Transportation - The tracts in question gain primary access along the feeder ofS. H. 146 with two driveways and a secondary access on Fairlane with one drive. While S.H. 146 sustains heavy truck traffic, Fairlane is a primary drainage channel and is not paved to support heavy use. Repeated truck use would cause maintenance issues. To the west, 11th street has only one lane paved and has approximately 8' of passage. This street primarily serves the residential subdivision. It would be imperative to prevent any heavy truck access. The traffic flow along the feeder of S.H. 146 may be impacted with the truck stop so near the major intersection with Barbour's Cut Boulevard. Pedestrian Connectivity - A rezone to allow heavy truck traffic on Fairlane would not be conducive to pedestrian access, stemming from the residential subdivision or any activity the may develop in the PUD zone to the north and west. Should general commercial activity begin to develop along the western side of S. H. 146, a truck stop at this location would impact pedestrian traffic. Utilities - Water and sewer utilities are available to the site along 11th Street. Based on the above analysis, staff finds the requested change incompatible with the zoning and uses of nearby properties. This stems primarily from the residential subdivision to the west and the potential of development within the PUD zone to the north and west of the proposed truck stop. The property in question is not suitable for the requested change to BI in order to allow the
