The parcel had been zoned Agricultural (A) on April 23, 1975 in con- junction with the Board of Supervisors approval of a Conditional Use to permit the construction and operation of mini-warehouses. It is not now the intension to develop the warehouses as planned and the applicant would like to have the original rezoning re- stored. No new use has been indicated. GENERAL LOCATION AND TAX MAP iNFORMATION: The parcel in question is located south of Route 60, north of and adjacent to Providence Green Townhouses. Clover Hill Magisterial District; Tax Map'Section 18-16 (1) Parcel 12 (Sheet 8). ACREAGE, EXISTING ZONING, EXISTING LAND USE (SUBJECT PARCEL): The par- cel contains 5.71 acres, is presently zoned Agricultural (A) and is vacant and partially wooded. ADJACENT AND AREA, ZONING AND LAND USE: All adjacent property to the east and west is zoned General Business (B-3), property to the north across Route 60 is zoned Convenience Business (B-2) and property to the south is zoned Residential (R-TH), adjacent property to the east, west and north is occupied by various commercial enterprises while property to the south is occupied by the single family town- house development (Providence Green). UTILITIES, DRAINAGE AND EROSION, REQUIRED OFF-SITE EASEMENTS: Public water and sewer would be required in the development of this project. It is noted by the Engineering Department that in this area a severe drainage problem exists on the subject parcel. Drainage from Hardee's Restaurant and Putt Putt Golf Course blows across Providence Green Townhouse project. Development of the parcel in question will re- quire extensive drainage improvements and these improvements may include either the installation of pipe or providing paved ditches. An off-site drainage easement may be required. PUBLIC FACILITIES: Development of the parcel under the indicated zoning classification should have no more than normal anticipated impact for this area. TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC: The parcel in question does not front Route 60 but has access thereto by means of a 50 foot right-of-way which extends southwardly to a depth of approximately 435 feet. It is anticipated that this right-of-way is sufficient to serve as an access for the parcel. . GENERAL PLAN: Commercial development for the area encompassing the parcel with the exception of property to the south which is indicated for development under single and multi-family land use. (over) STAFF ~NALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: Rezoning to General Business (B-3) will not adversely affect the area and will accommodate the applicant. However, it is pointed out in the previous rezoning and Conditional Use case (case #75S042) for the mini-warehouses, it was noted that business development of the parcel could have a detrimental impact on the townhouse development to the south and single family dwellings to the southeast.
