• 1-1/2 acres immediately at the corner of Highway 169 and 193rd for potential <br /> development opportunity. <br /> The subject property is surrounded by the following land uses: <br /> North - vacant/residential zoned property <br /> West - residential homes/vacant property <br /> East - Highway 169 and commercial development (Hillside Crossing) <br /> South - Jackson/193rd and commercial development (Elk Park Center) <br /> The area requested to be rezoned covers the southern half of the 3 acre <br /> parcel. This southern half is buffered on the north by a stand of mature pin <br /> trees. This natural buffer will provide a logical separation between the <br /> existing single family homes and any commercial development which may <br /> occur on the property. <br /> Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning <br /> The Steering Committee has recently discussed the extension of commercial <br /> development north along Highway 169. The Committee has recommended <br /> that commercial development be extended north along Highway 169 to <br /> • approximately 194th alignment which would include the City property at the <br /> northwest corner of 193rd and Highway 169. <br /> The proposed land use plan amendment and rezoning request would allow for <br /> commercial development under the C3 standards. The C3 zoning district is <br /> the City's most intensive commercial district and is consistent with the <br /> existing commercial found along Highway 169. Although the rezoning to C3 <br /> would allow for a variety of possible uses, some of which may not be fully <br /> compatible with the residential to the west, however, the City, as property <br /> owner, can control the type of use. This "control" can respect the needs of the <br /> neighborhood to the west and meet the community's needs for commercial <br /> opportunities. <br /> Recommendation <br /> It is recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the <br /> rezoning of approximately 1-1/2 acres at the northwest corner of Highway <br /> 169 and 193rd from Rlc (Single Family Residential) to C3 (Highway <br /> Commercial) based on the following findings: <br /> 1. The times and conditions have changed to warrant the new <br /> zoning designation to allow for commercial development at <br /> • the intersection of Highway 169 and 193rd. <br /> s:\planning\pc\zc95-6.doc <br />
