The uses in the area are in conflict with the Suburban Development Plan, but all predate that plan's adoption. November 11, 1980 Item No. 1 - Continued 9. STANDARDS OF QUALITY No standards have been addressed. 10. TRAFFIC AND RIGTIT-OF-WAY Highway 10 is a major arterial on the Master Street Plan. Additional right-of-way will be required, and the applicant has agreed to provide the necessary easement deeds. ANALYSIS: The property is occupied by a nonconforming industrial use, and the surrounding area is heavily used for commercial purposes. The Suburban Development Plan shows the area to be devoted to residential use in the future. Since the plan has been adopted, one must assume its validity as a guide for zoning decisions. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Suburban Development Plan be amended to reflect the movement of the proposed commercial area eastward to the location around Highway 10 and Candlewood Drive, thereby eliminating the commercial shown at the intersection of Highway 10 with the proposed West Belt Road. Further, Staff recommends approval of the "C-3" zoning as requested by the applicant. COMMISSION ACTION: The applicant was present and there were no objectors. After a brief discussion, the Commission moved to app rove the application as amended for "C-3" General Commercial zoning on a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent. The Commission also moved to recommend to the Board of Directors a plan amendment to coincide with this zoning proposal. That motion was passed: 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
