Disposition Summary
Approve the LI (Light Industrial) land use classification because it is compatible with the surrounding development.
Staff Recommendation
Approve the LI (Light Industrial) land use classification because it is compatible with the surrounding development.
SECTOR PLAN AMENDMENT REQUIREMENTS FROM GENERAL PLAN (May meet one of these):

CHANGES OF CONDITIONS WARRANTING AMENDMENT OF THE LAND USE PLAN:
1. 1. In early to mid 2010, TDOT completed a 31.4 million project to widen Western Avenue to a 5-lane street from Copper Kettle Road to Schaad Road, which supports this amendment.
2. The proposed LI classification is compatible with the surrounding land uses that includes a more intense HI classification to the west and south. The commercial developments to the north with the GC classification are separated from this property by a significant change in grades and mature vegetation.
2. The property meets the location criteria of the LI classification as its current use (warehouse) and adjacent uses to the west (trucking company) and south (KUB hub) can be characterized as industrial in nature. The property also has easy access to the I-75/I-640 through the major arterial Western Avenue.

INTRODUCTION OF SIGNIFICANT NEW ROADS OR UTILITIES THAT WERE NOT ANTICIPATED IN THE PLAN AND MAKE DEVELOPMENT MORE FEASIBLE:
1. Western Avenue has been widened from a 2-lane street to a 5-lane street, as mentioned above. Shoppers Lane and Western Avenue are sufficient for the traffic that would be generated by any general industrial use on the site. The existing building is currently served by public water and sewer provider.

AN OBVIOUS OR SIGNIFICANT ERROR OR OMISSION IN THE PLAN:
1. There are no apparent errors or omissions in the East County Sector Plan with regards to the requested LI classification here.

TRENDS IN DEVELOPMENT, POPULATION OR TRAFFIC THAT WARRANT RECONSIDERATION OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN PROPOSAL:
1. This is an area that is already developed with commercial, industrial, and office uses. Approval of the LI classification for this site is an extension of the already established industrial development to the southwest.
