The Elan notes that commercial, office and light industrial development which serves a regional market, including large-scale developments, corporate offices and supporting retail uses are appropriate for the area. Area Development Trenda: Properties along this portion of Jefferson Davis Highway are characterized by a mix of conwnercial and industrial uses. Adjacent properties to the north, south and east, away from JetI~rson Davis Highway mad the request properly, are zoned for residential uses and have been developed for the same or remain vacant. It is anticipated that this land use pattern will continue, as reconunended by the Plan, On May 25, 1983, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from the Planning Commission, approved rezoning from Community, Business (B-2) to General Business (B-3), subject to a condition establishing buffers along the eastern and southern property boundaries (Case 83S045). At that time, the Zoning Ordinance did not require buffers unless required by a condition of zoning. On October 5, 1983, the Board of Zoning Appeals approved a Variance to the paved parking requirement for six (6) or more vehicles, subject to conditions relative to paving a certain portion of the driveway and parking area, landscaping, parking space stops and the amount and type of stone adequate for the unpaved areas. (Case 83A226) Current Proposal: With the approval of the original zoning, a condition was imposed requiring buffers along the eastern and southern property boundaries to address concerns over the impact the proposed land use may have on adjacent properties. At that time, the adjacent property to the east was zoned Residential (R-7). Subsequently, that adjacent property was rezoned to General Business (C-5). The developer is proposing to eliminate that portion of the Condition relative to the buffer requirement along the eastern property boundary,. CONCT ,l ~.qT©N.q Since the original rezoning of this property, the property adjacent to the east has been rezoned to allow General Commercial (C-5) use. This rezoning eliminates the potential for residential use of 3 02SN0269-AUG28-BOS the property to the east; there£ore, the buffer along the eastern property boundary is no longer necessary. Given these considerations~ approval of this request is recommended. CASE HISTORY Plmnning Cormnission Meeting (7/16/02): The applicant accepted the recommendation. There was no opposition present.
