STAFF COMMENTS f RECOMMENDATIONS
This tract has. over 500 .feet of frontage along.. SH 30 and approximately 500 feet of depth. The depth is
adequate according to b'evelopment Policies relative to commercial zoning districts. However, the request is
for G2 which is a commercial zoning district that also allows industrial uses. The tract is adjacent to
developed single family residential (Harvey Hillsides): It would violate Development Policies to place C-2
zoning adjacent to single family development.
This. tract is located at the intersection of a major arterial (SH 30)and proposed minor arterial (Linda Lane)
which according to Policies is an appropriate location for commercial zoning. Linda Lane is presently a rural
residential street. It lacks curb and gutter and is not built to City standards.. Commercial zoning might be
more appropriate at this intersection when the roadway is upgraded to its proposed minor arterial standard
and depending on the surrounding land. uses at that time.
r ~^^*
The Land Use Plan reflects the south side of SH 30 as low density residential. This request is not in
compliance with the Land Use Plan. Pending an update of the plan that addresses the frontage along SH 30
staff would be reluctant to .recommend in favor of a zoning that is not in compliance with the current plan.
' Although some development policies might support this .request, there should be consideration given to the
adjacent single family development and protection of that'. development as the foremost consideration.
Staff recommends denial of this request.
