Analysis Staff has serious concerns about the proposed development. Problems with traffic, site plan, and the grading plan have been indicated. Of foremost concern is the applications proposed use, which represents a radical departure from the I-430 Land Use Plan, which designates the area as a scenic office corridor. Staff feels any change in this document as a major shift in policv; and is very reluctant to support such a change at this time. There are several reasons for this position. As designed, the site plan appears to encourage strip commercial development along Shackleford with the food establishments in their proposed locations. Staff is very concerned about strippinq out this area since it could adversely affect Sandpiper Subdivision, create traffic problems, and place pressure on the Aldersgate property to the east. There are also other vacant parcels available that are currently zoned for commercial at Kanis and Shackleford, Markham and Kanis, and the Colonel Glenn interchange. Furthermore, the area has begun to develop as an office corridor as recommended in the I-430 Land Use Plan. Examples include the Farm Bureau and Koger Office Park, which has bought additional land for an extension of their current use. Engineering has pointed out that the traffic study does not address City requirements and was not very thorough since it did not recoqnize Shackleford as a five lane arterial and the future 36th Street interchange in the traffic considerations. It is felt that the site plan is overbuilt with parkinq and buildings, which results in the proposed amount of June 30, 1987 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. B - Continued grading. If approved, staff suggests scaling down the project, and leaving natural vegetation. A 50-foot undisturbed buffer is recommended all around the site. F. Staff Recommendation Denial as filed.
