STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: The request parcel is adjacent to, pro- perty which has experienced commercial development through various con- ditional rezonings and special use permits granted in this general area. Both the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors have given care- ful consideration to each request for expanded commercial development and it has been the intention of the County to limit and restrict commercial activity so that such activity does not exert a detrimental impact on the well established and stable adjacent and area residential use.
