LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Jefferson Davis Highwav Corridor Plan which suggests
the property is appropriate for general commercial use.
Area Development Trends:
Surrounding properties are zoned Regional Business (C-4) and General Business (C-5) and
are developed for various commercial uses, to include service stations, hotels and exposition
buildings or are currently vacant. It is anticipated that any infill development or
redevelopment of area properties will be for commercial uses relying upon interstate traffic,
consistent with the reconunendations of the Plan.
Zoning History:
On February 24, 2004, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation by the
Planning Commission, approved the rezoning of a 3.6 acre tract from General Business (C-
5) to Regional Business (C-4) with a Conditional Use to permit an exposition building and a
Conditional Use Planned development to permit exceptions to signage requirements. The
subject of the current request was included in this 2004 case.
Site Design:
The request property lies within a Highway Corridor District. The purpose of the Highway
Corridor District standards is to recognize specified areas of the county as unique and to
enhance patterns of development in those areas. Except as addressed by the Highway
Corridor District standards, development of the site must conform to the Post Development
District requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Together, these standards address access,

parking, landscaping, architectural treatment, setbacks, sIgn, buffers, pedestrian access,
utilities and screening of dumpsters and loading areas.
CONCLUSION
The proposed zoning and land uses conform to the Jefferson Davis Highwav Corridor Plan which
suggests the property is appropriate for general commercial use. In addition, the proposed
zoning and land uses are representative of, and compatible with, existing and anticipated area
development.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
