Riverside Development, LUA Page 2 June 21, 1994 • Until this point, Riverside Development has concentrated on the residential portion of the Hillside PUD. Recently, with the growing interest for commercial development in this area, a development plan has been put together that requires an additional one acre be included as part of the project. This plan requires a land use plan amendment and rezoning prior to proceeding forward. ANALYSIS As previously discussed with the Planning Commission and City Council, the Highway 169 corridor has been identified as the commercial hub of the community. A majority of property adjacent to Highway 169 from Highway 10/169 intersection north has a land use designation of HB (Highway Business). There are a few exceptions to this where multi family has been developed and single family (CherryHill Bluffs). The request by Riverside Development to expand the commercial at Highway 169 and 193rd Avenue by one acre is consistent with maintaining the concept of Highway 169 acting as the City's commercial corridor. However, a more difficult question will be how far north the commercial land use should be extended. The current Growth Management Plan identifies commercial extending up to 197th • Avenue. As part of updating the Comprehensive Plan, this issue may need to be reviewed and confirmed whether commercial is the most appropriate land use. An inventory of commercial property will be done to assist in making this decision. In summary, the requested land use plan amendment is a minor modification to accommodate the proposed development plan and does not compromise the existing comprehensive land use plan map or the integrity of the Highway 169 corridor. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of Riverside Development's request to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Plan from MR (Medium Density Residential) to HB (Highway Business). • 1ua94-4.planning
