Memo to the Planning Commission Page 7 <br />April 25, 1995 <br /> <br />· Rezoning of this property may lead to other applications for commercial <br /> which will stretch commercial development further north on Highway <br /> 169. <br /> <br />Conclusion <br />As the City Engineer points out in his memo, the infrastructure to serve the <br />proposed development can be accomplished. Furthermore, the commercial <br />development could incorporate design and buffering to minimize the impact <br />to surrounding residential areas. However, all these improvements would be <br />done at the expense of impacting a residential area. Therefore, staff submits <br />the following conclusions: <br /> <br />· The development is too intense for this parcel and would better serve the <br /> community in another location. <br /> <br />· The proposed rezoning and land use plan change would impact the <br /> character and integrity of surrounding residential areas. <br /> <br />The necessary transportation improvements north of 193rd to the <br />development would be detrimental to the four single family homes along <br />Holt. <br /> <br />The Steering Committee has not yet identified the commercial and <br />industrial growth areas and therefore, this proposal may be inconsistent <br />with the Comprehensive Plan's goals and policies. <br /> <br />The rezoning and comprehensive plan amendment to commercial would <br />not be a logical extension of the existing commercial developments south <br />of 193rd Avenue. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />It is recommended the Planning Commission recommend one of the following: <br /> <br />(i) <br /> <br />Deny the rezoning and comprehensive land use plan amendment based <br />on the findings mentioned above. <br /> <br />(2) <br /> <br />Approve the applications with certain conditions to accomplish <br />compatibility between the commercial and residential area; or, <br /> <br />(3) <br /> <br />l~ecommend the plans be revised to include a reduced commercial area <br />and return to the Planning Commission at a later date for further <br />consideration. <br /> <br />s:planning:pc:lua95-4 <br /> <br /> <br />
