• Power Association, to make some minor expansions from their current facility into this area. In order to accomplish any one of these requests, a rezoning will need to occur. AREA#3 This area is bordered on the west and north by Highway 169 and County Road #12, respectively. A developer has met with the City on several occasions to discuss a regional commercial development similar to Elk Park Center. The development has several challenges including relocating the mobile home park, major above-ground utilities, wetlands, traffic and storm drainage, to name a few. In spite of these issues, development interest still persists, probably as a result of the area's locational attributes. In order to accommodate a commercial project, both a land use plan amendment and rezoning will need to occur. AREA#4 Outlot A is currently owned by Dennis Anderson. In June of 1994, Mr. Anderson made application to the City requesting a land use plan change to Highway Business and a rezoning to C3 (Highway Commercial). The Planning Commission held a public hearing on these two applications and received testimony from surrounding residents opposing the applications. The Planning Commission recommended denying both the rezoning • and land use plan change, based on the testimony received and issues outlined in a report prepared by staff. Prior to proceeding to the City Council, Mr. Anderson requested withdrawing his application until further input was received from the Steering Committee in updating the Growth Management Plan. Attached is some information submitted by Mr. Anderson for the Steering Committee to consider. In addition, the report prepared by the planning staff and presented to the Planning Commission is included for additional background. The Committee may wish to consider Area #4 and Area #5 together, as they both raise the issue of extending commercial further north along the Highway 169 corridor. AREA#5 This area is part of the overall Hillside Estate development. Currently, the zoning is Rte (Single Family Residential) which requires large lot (20,000 sq. ft.) development. However, concept plans have been prepared, illustrating an extension of commercial along Highway 169 and residential to the east, both under a Planned Unit Development. The property has a varying topography and is heavily wooded with a mixture of oaks. The Committee may wish to discuss the proper zoning and ultimate development of this area. Issues to consider in discussing Area #4 and Area #5 include transportation, compatibility with surrounding land uses, and development with respect to natural 1111 features.
