Memo to the Planning Commission Page April 25, 1995 • • Rezoning of this property may lead to other applications for commercial which will stretch commercial development further north on Highway 169. Conclusion As the City Engineer points out in his memo, the infrastructure to serve the proposed development can be accomplished. Furthermore, the commercial development could incorporate design and buffering to minimize the impact to surrounding residential areas. However, all these improvements would be done at the expense of impacting a residential area. Therefore, staff submits the following conclusions: • The development is too intense for this parcel and would better serve the community in another location. • The proposed rezoning and land use plan change would impact the character and integrity of surrounding residential areas. • The necessary transportation improvements north of 193rd to the development would be detrimental to the four single family homes along Holt. • The Steering Committee has not yet identified the commercial and industrial growth areas and therefore, this proposal may be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan's goals and policies. • The rezoning and comprehensive plan amendment to commercial would not be a logical extension of the existing commercial developments south of 193rd Avenue. Recommendation It is recommended the Planning Commission recommend one of the following: (1) Deny the rezoning and comprehensive land use plan amendment based on the findings mentioned above. (2) Approve the applications with certain conditions to accomplish compatibility between the commercial and residential area; or, (3) Recommend the plans be revised to include a reduced commercial area and return to the Planning Commission at a later date for further 411/ consideration. s:planning:pc:1ua95-4
