Rezoning, PDO Development Plan Outlot B Apollo Business Park No. 2 April 12, 1999 page 3 The property immediately to the west is zoned General Industrial. However, the uses on Outlot B anticipated by the rezoning applicant are office /warehouse with some light manufacturing. These would better fit in the Light Industrial rather than the General Industrial category. At six acres, the site is large enough to rezone on its own, and it fits in well between the General Business zone and the General Industrial zone. 2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. Existing uses in the area include Apollo Drive and the medical clinic on the north, Apollo Business Park to the west, the freeway on the south and east. Across Apollo Drive to the north is an asphalting business and the owner's residence. Any future redevelopment on the asphalt business site probably will be either general business or light industrial uses. The asphalt business itself is probably best categorized as a light industrial use. The uses in the GI zone to the west (Apollo Business Park) could fit in the light industrial category. The site is on the edge where general business uses meet industrial uses. As long as the transition can be designed properly, uses allowed in the PDO district will be compatible with the existing and future uses of the area. 3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance. A planned development allows for flexibility from typical zoning standards. An approved PDO plan establishes some specific standards that may differ from the Zoning Ordinance. The site plan is a major element of the development plan. All development must conform to the approved PDO plan. Elements not specifically addressed in the development plan are covered by the Zoning Ordinance. A review of the development plan appears below. 4. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City's service capacity. Sewer and water are available to the site. Ample capacity exists.
