Rezoning Report - 2408 County Road I December 2, 2015 Page 3 Land Use: The “purpose” of the existing B-1, Neighborhood Business district is “to provide for the establishment of local centers for convenient, limited office, retail or service outlets which deal directly with the customer for whom the goods or services are furnished. These centers are to provide services and goods for the surrounding neighborhoods and are not intended to draw customers from the entire community.” The stated purpose of the B-2, Limited Business district is “to provide for low intensity, retail or service outlets which deal directly with the customer for whom the goods or services are furnished. The uses allowed in this District are to provide goods and services on a limited community market scale and located in areas which are well served by collector or arterial street facilities at the edge of residential districts.” The uses that would be permitted in the B-2 district include those already permitted in the B-1 District. W hile there is some overlap in the types of uses between the B-1 and B-2 districts, those allowed in the B-2 district would tend to be busier or draw from a wider area than the immediate neighborhood. The Commission will need to consider whether these uses would be appropriate at the subject property. Summary For the Commission to support the requested rezoning, it must find that the request would not be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, would not depreciate or tend to cause or create adverse impacts to the surrounding properties, would not be incompatible with other uses in the geographical area and find that there is a sufficient, demonstrated need for the uses in the requested district. The Planning Commission considered these issues at its December 2, 2015, meeting and provided direction to staff to prepare a resolution supporting the request. Recommendation: Based on the direction provided at the December 2, 2015, Planning Commission meeting, staff has prepared Resolution 1039-15 recommending approval of the requested rezoning of the property at 2408 County Road I from B-1, Neighborhood Business, to B-2, Limited Business, along with findings of fact in support of the recommendation determining that the requested rezoning would not be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan, would not depreciate the neighborhood, would not be out of character for the area, would serve a demonstrated need, and that the uses would not be inappropriate for the location.
