Staff Recommendation

Approve the sector plan amendment to GC (General Commercial) and SP (Stream Protection) for a portion of parcel 083 082 because it is a minor extension at an existing commercial node.

---

SECTOR PLAN AMENDMENT REQUIREMENTS FROM GENERAL PLAN (May meet any one of these):

CHANGES OF CONDITIONS WARRANTING AMENDMENT OF THE LAND USE PLAN:
1. This is a minor extension of a commercial node at the intersection of a major arterial and a minor arterial. A smaller adjacent parcel along the right-of-way is already designated GC (General Commercial). The applicant is also requesting to retain the MDR (Medium Density Residential) designation for a portion of the parcel. Additional residential development may support the expansion of commercial uses at this node.

INTRODUCTION OF SIGNIFICANT NEW ROADS OR UTILITIES THAT WERE NOT ANTICIPATED IN THE PLAN AND MAKE DEVELOPMENT MORE FEASIBLE:
1. There have not been significant new roads in this area, however, the request to expand the GC designation and retain the MDR designation on a portion of the property at the intersection of an existing major arterial and minor arterial is consistent with the location criteria for both land use classifications.

AN OBVIOUS OR SIGNIFICANT ERROR OR OMISSION IN THE PLAN:
1. There isn't a significant error or omission in the plan, however, additional commercial growth at this node near a large industrial area is expected, especially if the MDR (Medium Density Residential) area is built out.

TRENDS IN DEVELOPMENT, POPULATION OR TRAFFIC THAT WARRANT RECONSIDERATION OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN PROPOSAL:
1. No new information that has been produced by this agency has revealed the need for a plan amendment. However, local data sources and national data trends note an increased demand for housing and this plan amendment could enable additional opportunities for commercial and residential development.
