HomeMy WebLinkAboutZMA196800001 Staff Report 1968-05-06 STAFF REPORT Zoning Map Petition - 001 James E. Craig - Contract Purchaser Location: North side of State Route 743 at its intersection with State Route 660 having frontage on Route 743 of approximately 665 feet, containing 4.25 acres. Area Characteristics: The parcel in question together with the immediate area is presently zoned Agricultural A -1. There presently is a general store (Whytes Store) immediately across the street as well as a public garage. The Planning Commission recently has given preliminary approval to a 16 lot subdivision immediately adjoining subject parcel and final approval on 2 lots immediately west of subject parcel. General Information: There has been a building permit issued for a shopping center on the parcel - accomplished prior to April 15, 1968, the effective date of the County Zoning Ordi- nance. Site plan approval is required before development can be started. The staff would recommend approval for the following reasons: 1. Proposed zone and use would be compatible with adjacent land use. 2. Would provide for neighborhood convenience services lacking in this area. 3. Would fit in the commercial proposal contemplated under the forthcoming Comprehensive Plan as a neighborhood center. 4. There appears to be a sufficient trend in residential development in the area to justify this use at this time. 11 // STAFF REPORT Zoning Map Petition - 001 James E.
