July 11, 1995
ITEM NO,: 1 z- 454-8 C n
Otter Creek Village Commercial Subdivision, which was
approved by the Commission in April 1995. Otter Creek
Village Commercial Subdivision is a 6 lot, commercial
development containing approximately 11.5 acres.
At the time the preliminary plat was approved, the
Commission also approved a site plan for the proposed
development of 4 of the 6 lots. Proposed Lots 3 and 4 were
not included in the site plan and were identified as
out -parcels. Access concerns were addressed through the
preliminary plat, specifically an access easement which
extends along the northern and western perimeters of the
proposed 11.5 acre development. Rezoning this proposed lot
to C-3 will not negate those issues which were approved
through the preliminary plat of the entire development.
Zoning in the general vicinity ranges from R-2 to C.-3. All
adjacent property is zoned C-2. Land use in the area
includes multi -family, a commercial shopping center and a
utility substation. A high percentage of property in the
immediate vicinity is undeveloped, including the entire C-2
zoned area directly adjacent to this site.
The land use plan recommends that this property be used as
community shopping. The lot's inclusion within the proposed
Otter Creek Village Shopping Center reinforces its
conformance with the Land Use Plan.
Staff is supportive of the requested rezoning.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the C-3 rezoning request.
