AGENDA MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: November 10, 2008
FROM: Bill Wiley, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance for rezoning for the proposed Hess Property vehicle sales
from County R-1 (Rural Residential) to City C-3 (Highway Commercial)
Staff Recommendation:
The Planning staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed rezoning for the subject property from County C-2 (Community Commercial) to City C-3 (Highway Commercial).
Analysis:
The project site is approximately 1.34 acres. The property is generally located on the south side of C.R. 441 at the intersection of C.R. 44 and Sleepy Hollow Road as shown on the attached General Location Map. The present zoning for this property is County C-2 (Community Commercial). Currently, the property is a closed convenience store with gas pumps, and the proposed use is vehicle sales. The surrounding zoning designations are Lake County RMRP (Residential Mobile Rental Park) to the north, C-3 (Highway Commercial) and P (Public) to the east, R-2 (Medium Density Residential) and R-3(High Density Residential) to the south, and C-3 (Highway Commercial) to the west.
The proposed zoning district of City C-3 (Highway Commercial) is compatible with adjacent and nearby properties in the area and with the proposed City future land use designation of General Commercial.
The existing land uses surrounding the property are commercial and undeveloped properties.
Development of the parcel shall require connection to City utilities at the owner’s expense.
By a vote of 6 to 0, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval.
Options:
1. Approve the proposed rezoning to C-3 (Highway Commercial), thereby allowing consistent zoning and development standards for the area.
2. Other such action as the Commission may deem appropriate.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to the City with this application
