Staff Recommendation

APPROVE OFFICE sector plan amendment. (Applicant requested COMMERCIAL.) This recommendation has been revised since the Sept. 13 meeting. Staff recommended denial of COMMERCIAL last month.

---

Commercial use of the site is inappropriate because of the designation of a large portion of the site as stream protection area and its proximity to residential uses to the south and west. The drainage creek to the east of the site represents a logical stopping point for commercial zoning and development heading west along E. Beaver Creek Dr. Office uses are more appropriate than commercial to establish a transition between commercial and residential. The OFFICE designation is similar in intensity to the current MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL designation.
