Memo to Planning Commission/ZC00-2/LU00-2 February 29,2000 Page 2 • Commercial). The area under consideration is about 19.5 acres. The property is located on the south side of Highway 10, west of the Sherburne County Government Center. The property owners have petitioned the City to extend Business Center Drive and municipal utilities across their property. Other improvements in the area include realigning Waco Street and signalizing the Waco Street/Highway 10 intersection. Realigning Waco Street to the east will create Parcel 1. The extension of Business Center Drive to Waco Street will create Parcel 2 (refer to attached survey). The subject property is currently part of 125 acres owned by the applicant. The subject property will be split into three parcels because of the road alignments. Parcel 1 is 3.17 acres and is located at the southwest corner of Waco Street and Highway 10. Parcel 2 is 12.98 acres and is located east of Waco Street between Business Center Drive and Highway 10. Parcel 3 is 3.54 acres and is located south of Business Center Drive abutting the west side of the Sherburne County Government Center. The property to the south of Business Center Drive, with the exception of Parcel 3, will remain zoned Business Park. The property to the east, which contains the Sherburne County Government Center, is zoned Business Park. III The property on the north side of Highway 10 is zoned residential, and the property to the west of Waco Street is also zoned residential. The applicant is not requesting plat approval at this time. With the exception of the south line of Parcel 3, the property lines shown on the survey represent existing property lines and the center lines of the proposed roads. The applicant will be before the Commission at a future date for preliminary plat approval. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan identified the intersection of Waco Street and Highway 10 as a future commercial node because of accessibility and visibility. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the subject property as CC (Community Commercial). Community commercial land uses, as discussed in the Comprehensive Plan, are intended to serve the surrounding neighborhood and should be located at the intersection of collector streets. Highway commercial land uses are intended to provide commercial opportunities that typically require highway access and high visibility. The uses allowed under the Highway Business IIIland use designation tend to serve a broader area than those allowed under S:\PLANNING\SCOTT\ZC002.DOC
