Proposal
The Zoning Ordinance requires the provision of a 100 foot buffer for development on General
Industrial (I-2) property when adjacent to Agricultural (A) property occupied by a residential
use. The request property,which is zoned I-2, is currently under site plan consideration for
development as a contractor’s office and shop; however, the property could be developed for
other I-2 uses. A Conditional use Planned Development is requested to eliminate the required
100 foot buffer along the southern property boundary adjacent to Agricultural (A) property
occupied by a single family dwelling.
Comprehensive Plan and Future Area Development
The Comprehensive Plansuggests area properties for corporate office, research and
development, and light manufacturing uses. An occupied single-family dwelling, built in 1924,is
located on the adjacent property to the south(16610 Happy Hill Road). As such, development
on the requestproperty is subject tothe provision of a 100 foot bufferadjacent to this
residential use. Given that the Plan suggests this area is appropriate for nonresidentialuses,
relief from this buffer provision may be appropriate provided a visual separation between theI-
2 and A properties is maintained.
Separation Between Uses
To mitigate the visual impactof the proposeddevelopment on the adjacent residential use,the
applicant has agreed to installa six (6) foot tall privacy fencealong the full length of the southern
property line adjacent to theresidential use(Condition). This fence would provide separation
between uses, whileminimizing potential noise and glare from traffic generated by the industrial
use. Should this adjacent Agricultural (A) property ever be rezoned for a nonresidential use, as
conditioned, the fence requirement would be eliminated.
