<br />Zone Change #R04-o05 <br />P & 1. (5/20/04) <br />Page 2 of3 <br /> <br />Conclusion: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. Character of the surrounding and adjacent areas; <br />. Existing use of nearby properties, and extent to which a land use <br />classification would be in harmony with such existing uses or the <br />anticipated use of the properties; <br />. Suitability of the property for the uses to which would be permissible, <br />considering density, access and circulation, adequacy of public facilities <br />and services, and other conside{8tions; <br />. Extent to which the designated use of the property would harm the value <br />of adjacent land use classifications; <br />. Extent to which the proposed use designation would adversely affect the <br />capacity or safety of that portion of the road network influenced by the <br />use; <br />. Extent to which the proposed use designation would permit excessive air <br />pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, or other environmental harm <br />on adjacent land use designations; and, <br />. The gain, if any, to the public health, safety, and welfare due to the <br />existence of the land use designation. <br /> <br />Transportation - The tracts in question gain primary access along the <br />feeder of S. H. 146 with two driveways and a secondary access on Fairlane <br />with one drive. While S.H. 146 sustains heavy truck traffic, Fairlane is a <br />primary drainage channel and is not paved to support heavy use. Repeated <br />truck use would cause maintenance issues. To the west, Uth street has only <br />one lane paved and has approximately 8' of passage. This street primarily <br />serves the residential subdivision. It would be imperative to prevent any <br />heavy truck access. The traffic flow along the feeder of S.H. 146 may be <br />impacted with the truck stop so near the major intersection with Barbour's <br />Cut Boulevard. <br /> <br />Pedestrian Connectivity - A rezone to allow heavy truck traffic on <br />Fairlane would not be conducive to pedestrian access, stemming from the <br />residential subdivision or any activity the may develop in the PUD zone to <br />the north and west. Should general commercial activity begin to develop <br />along the western- ,Side of S. H. 146, a truck stop at this location would <br />impact pedestrian ~c. <br /> <br />Utilities - Water and sewer utilities are available to the site along 11 tit <br />Street. <br /> <br />Based on the above analysis, staff finds the requested change incompatible <br />with the zoning and uses of nearby properties. This stems primarily from the <br />residential subdivision to the west and the potential of development within <br />the PUD zone to the north and west of the proposed truck stop. The property <br />in question is not suitable for the requested change to BI in order to allow the <br />
