<br />#R 08-00] <br />P&Z 7/17/08 <br />Page 4 of 4 <br /> <br />Conclusion! <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Utilities - Currently, the site has sufficient water and sewer facilities to <br />serve this development. It will be applicant's responsibility to provide any <br />structures or improvements necessary to accommodate increased demand of <br />water and sanitary sewer for future development. Storm water management <br />is also an issue that will be carefully reviewed with the site development <br />plan. On-site detention shall be required for the property. Neighboring <br />residents have voiced their concerns about flooding and improper drainage <br />of the facility. <br /> <br />Based on the above analysis, staff finds that the requested change is not <br />compatible with the present zoning and current uses of the nearby properties. <br />Staff recognizes the impact of being unable to utilize the contiguous property <br />for a use, which previously exists on the tract. The change from General <br />Commercial (GC) and Large Lot Residential (LL) to Planned Unit <br />Development (PUD) would have long range impact on the future <br />development of this area. In addition, it is contrary to the intent of the Land <br />Use element of the Comprehensive Plan and compromises the optimal <br />viability of the remaining undeveloped residential zoned property. <br /> <br />It should be noted that the general commercial portion of the facility has <br />operated legally as a nonconforming use. Approval or denial of this request <br />will in no way interfere with this facility's right to continue to operate in this <br />manner in the future. However, because the applicant previously lost the use <br />of the rear of the facility for storage/exterior fabrication, a POO is the only <br />way to regain the use for that purpose. <br /> <br />A Planned Unit Development (PUD) zone might be considered for a defmed <br />transitional period allowing limited industrial use with the eventual <br />implementation of the underlying land use at the end of said transitional <br />period as applied in the Special Conditional Use Permit (SCUP). <br /> <br />Options available to the Commission are: <br /> <br />· Recommend to Council approval of this rezoning request. <br />· Recommend to Council denial of this rezoning request. <br />· Table the item for further consideration by the Commission. <br />
