STAFF ANALYSIS-PETITION 90-08 The Petit tenet is requesting a change from Agr cul tural-lndustr iai (A-I) to Light Indus ~rial zen ag. The ntent of the A-I zoning distr icl is to provide a transition area in which agricultura uses are promoted until the area is suitable for industrial dave opment. The analysis et this petition must therefore concentrate on whether this area s now suitable for industrial development. The ,Land Development Guid~ and surrounding lend uses both indicate that this area would be best developed ~ndustrially. The L.D.G, indicates that the area surrounding the Hwy 73/1~85 nterchange is best suited for commercial and indus~ria development, t is already apparent that this is taking place from the construction of the new Community Coll~ge campus as well as the expanding base of non-res~dentia development in the area. Infrast-ucture improvements, in addition to the existing infrastructure, also support lhe transition of this area The County is current y extending sewer lines into the area to serve the Community College and the surrounding area. Added to this IS the exce lent access lo the inlerstnte system through the interchange with 1-85 and the connection to 1-77 through Hwy. 73. Water I nas have not been extended lo Biscayne Drive, although the inns Currently are in place to the inlercha~ge. There are some concerns with this rezoning. The request includes only the property proposed for the sign fabrication busine:s while the light industr ia zoning is appropriate for a much ~rger area. The other concern Js that while Biscayne Drive is State maintainee, the road will need ~mprovement as development takes place Bet ~ of these issues, however, may be addressed ns the area continues to develop. The Staff tee s thai the factors affecting the zoning of this properly have changed sufficiently to warrnnt the transition to industrial zoning, and therefore recommends approval of the petition.
