Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that City Council APPROVE C-4 (Highway & Arterial Commercial) zoning, except for parcels 068NA019 and 020 to remain C-6 (General Commercial Park). (See attached MPC recommendation map.)
C-4 is an extension of zoning from abutting properties and is consistent with both the One Year Plan and sector plan proposals for the site. C-4 uses would be compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning pattern. Parcels 19 and 20 are undeveloped and are closer to less intense residential and office uses. They should remain C-6, to retain the required administrative site plan approval by MPC staff, and also the more appropriate development standards, such as landscaping, for commercial uses adjacent to residential or office uses.
The Planning Commission approved C-4 for all parcels subject to one condition: Maintaining a 15 ft. vegetated buffer strip between parcels 20 and 21.
