ANALYSIS:
(Cont.)
FILE NO.: LU00-10-01
The applicant's property is located in a suburban area
characterized by low-density development patterns. The area
in question is located about 'i of a mile south of the
commercial uses located at the intersection of John Barrow
and Kanis Roads. The campus of the Baptist Medical Center
is located about 1/3 of a mile to the west of the John
Barrow and Kanis Road intersection. The location of the
amendment area could attract office uses that could service
both businesses and medical uses located along Kanis Road.
The area in question could also serve as a transition
between the intense commercial and office uses located on
Kanis Road and the less intense residential uses located
primarily to the south. The size and depth of the property
in question is suitable for an office park development that
could be accessed by either a cul de sac or loop streets.
An office development covering the extent of the proposed
amendment would also address the need for infill development
in the area.
