Comprehensive Land Use Categories
Low Density Residential: Low Density Residential Development includes Single- Family Residential Development on individual lots. This form of development should be located away from major arterials, and can include certain non-residential uses such as schools, places of worship, and parks that are centrally located for convenient neighborhood access.
Example Zoning Districts:
RP, RE, FR, RD, R-20, NP-15, NP-10, NP-8, R-6, R-5, R-4, & PUD
Comprehensive Land Use Categories
Community Commercial: Community Commercial provides for offices, professional services, and retail uses of moderate intensity and impact. Examples of uses include a grocery store, a medical office, music store, shoe store, nursery, or mailing services store. Community Commercial should be located along arterials, preferably at intersections with other arterials or collectors. Community Commercial can serve as an appropriate buffer between low, medium, and high density residential uses, or between an arterial and low density residential.
Example Zoning Districts:
NC, O-1, O-1.5, C-1, C-2, & C-2P

LAND USE ANALYSIS:
The applicant is proposing a self-storage facility. The properties that are located around the subject property include several single-family residences along with commercial businesses to the north of the property. The proposed amendment to Neighborhood Commercial is not consistent with the surrounding areas. The proposed amendment to Neighborhood Commercial land use will significantly alter the land use pattern and character of the immediate area as the proposed change will enable encroachment into the surrounding neighborhoods. The Neighborhood Commercial classification does not support the Eastern Triangle Community Plan objectives of community pride and attitude and having a well maintained community with a diverse housing stock that meets the needs of current and future residents through all stages of life.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend Approval of the proposed amendment to the Eastern Triangle Community Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends denial. The proposed amendment to Neighborhood Commercial land use will significantly alter the land use pattern and character of the immediate area due to encroachment into the neighborhood. The proposed change is not compatible with the already-existing surrounding pattern of development.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (8-0)
