C. Issues/Discussion/Legal/Technical/Design
1. Property located in City's Upper Rock Creek Plan
in area designated as "Transition Zone." The
recommended uses are multifamily, office, and
office warehouse.
2. Twenty-five foot buffer along property line and
125 foot building setback required.
D. Engineering Comments
1. Drives need radius of 20'.
2. Sidewalk needs to ..be adjacent to property line.
3. Kanis Road needs 45' from centerline for
right-of-way.
4. Five -lane road section needed.
E. Staff Recommendation
Denial due to departure from Land Use Plan and
potential of future strip commercial development.
Staff is concerned about the number of uses proposed in
the convenience store/gas pump islands, restaurant, and
beverage shop. Staff prefers to see accessory -type
commercial and personal services. It is recommended
that retail be restricted to 10 to 15 percent. The
applicant has not met buffer and setback requirements.

F. Subdivision Committee Review
The main issue was identified as land use. Staff felt
that there was already 100 acres of land zoned for
commercial uses in the area. The proposal was not
considered acceptable for a transition zone, the
purpose of which is to allow "some" potential for
commercial development.
Sewer pump station currently not allowed, contact LRWU.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
Due to a request by the applicant, a motion for withdrawal
