LAND USE ANALYSIS:
The subject property is currently used as a vacant storage yard with limited use. The property consists of three different zoning designations. The applicant requests this plan amendment to rezone the property to one zoning designation. The proposed plan amendment and proposed zoning change request follow the current pattern for development of the area and support the goals of the Eastern Triangle Community Plan to expand and build thriving commercial corridors.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend denial 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 Approval. The proposed amendment to the Industrial land use classification will not significantly alter the land use pattern or character of the immediate area as the proposed change is compatible with the existing surrounding pattern of development.
