Chapter 2: Background Information | 6 <br />Change to Existing Zoning and Future Land Use Designations <br />CHAPTER 2: BACKGROUND INFORMATION <br />2040 FUTURE LAND USE <br />GB - GENERAL BUSINESS <br />R BR - RURAL/BUSINESS RESERVE <br />LEGEND <br />STUDY AREA <br />PARCELS <br />OFFICE RESIDENTIAL <br />COMMERCIAL <br />BUSINESS CAMPUS <br />LEGEND <br />STUDY AREA <br />PARCELS <br />CURRENT ZONING <br />35E 35E <br />14 <br />14 <br />The southern portion of the subject area is zoned General Business. With quick access from the 35E via <br />the County Road 14 exit, this district allows for smaller lots and a variety of businesses, specifically retail <br />and service uses. Two newer smaller commercial developments have occurred in this area north of County <br />Road 14 & east of Otter Lake Road, with another one in the process of being developed to the west of Otter <br />Lake Road. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan designates this portion as Commercial. <br />The remaining portion of the subject area is zoned Rural/Business Reserve. With the adoption of the <br />new zoning ordinance the R-BR designation will be eliminated and replaced with the R, Rural zoning <br />designation. This district is intended to preserve a rural very low density environment until such time as <br />the land is needed for commercial and industrial uses. Most of this land is existing farmland or contains <br />large wetlands. Since the land is dedicated for future development as needed, the 2040 Comprehensive <br />Plan divides this area into two future land use designations, Business Campus to the south bordering the <br />Commercial area, and Office Residential north of Business Campus. <br />Business Campus is for high quality, integrated development of a wide range of business uses at high visibility <br />locations. Office Residential is for a mix of office, business and residential uses. Residential development is <br />not required in the Office Residential designation and should not exceed 50% of the land area.
