• LAND USE ISSUES <br /> The Central Planning Area has several land use/zoning issues that will need to be <br /> discussed at some point during the process. All of these issues will be presented at an <br /> upcoming meeting, however, there are five areas worth discussing at this point. All of <br /> these areas have been included in one discussion or another relating to possible <br /> development projects. <br /> In reviewing these land use issues,the following questions should be considered: <br /> • Is the zoning consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map? <br /> • Have times and conditions changed to warrant a change in the zoning? <br /> • What zoning designation is appropriate for development that will be compatible with <br /> the surrounding area? <br /> • Is the existing use of the property inconsistent with the zoning; therefore,justifying a <br /> change in zoning? <br /> • Does there need to be a rezoning to achieve the proper land use mix of residential, <br /> commercial and industrial? <br /> Please refer to the attached map illustrating the five areas. <br /> • AREA#1 <br /> This is a corridor extending north of the downtown area along both sides of Jackson <br /> Street up to School Street. On the west side of Jackson is vacant property up to Morrell <br /> Trucking. This strip is currently zoned C2 and allows primarily office-type uses. At the <br /> southwest corner of School and Jackson is Morrell Trucking. This property is currently <br /> zoned (R4) for multi-family development and according to the current zoning does not <br /> allow truck terminals as a permitted or conditional use, therefore, is considered a legal <br /> non-conforming use at this time. <br /> The east side of Jackson is predominantly detached single-family housing. The zoning of <br /> R4 currently allows single-family homes as a permitted use, however, if any of the <br /> properties were cleared, a multi-family development could be requested as a conditional <br /> use. A multi-family development in this location may present some incompatibility with <br /> the single family homes immediately to the east. <br /> AREA#2 <br /> Located at the southwest corner of Highway 169 and Main Street, this area has an <br /> existing office along the Main Street, otherwise, is currently vacant. County Ditch #10 <br /> bisects the area which may become a development constraint in the future. The north <br /> quarter is zoned C3 and the southern 3/4 is zoned R3 (Townhouse/Multi-Family). There <br /> • have been some commercial interests in the property as well as interest from United <br />
