Summary Explanation and Background:
The applicant is requesting a Small-Scale Comprehensive Plan Amendment (SSCPA) to change the Future Land Use Map from RES 1:2.5 on a portion 16 vacant parcels totaling approximately 14.14 acres to CC. All parcels within the subject property retain the original RES 1:2.5 FLUM and GU zoning. The current adopted FLUM is not consistent with the requested zoning.
The applicant has a companion rezoning application, 24Z00036, requesting a change from GU to BU-2 (Retail, Warehousing and Wholesale Commercial) with a Binding Development Plan (BDP) limiting the BU-2 uses to self-storage mini-warehouse and outdoor storage of recreational vehicles and boats.
Within the unincorporated surrounding area, there has been a significant transition taking place with regards to land use from an area that is rural in nature to one that is postured to become more urban. Meanwhile, there is currently limited infrastructure (roadway, sewer, and water) in place to support the development potential. The applicant will need to demonstrate there is adequate infrastructure to facilitate the development during the permitting process. The subject parcel is located on the northside of Willowbrook Street, a county-maintained roadway.
North is a 41.39 acre undeveloped parcel with PUD (Planned Unit Development) zoning; East are 2 properties 0.86 acres (undeveloped) and 14.86 acres (classified by the BCPAO as a agriculture use) with RES 1:2.5 FLU and GU zoning. West are 2 properties, 1.02 acres and 0.86 acres, both undeveloped with AU and GU zoning classifications, respectively.
South across Willowbrook St., the Board recently approved Large Scale FLUM amendment application, from RES 1:2.5 to RES 4 & CC, on approximately 1,109 acres which includes 27 acres of Community Commercial accessing off Babcock Street. Current infrastructure is not in place to support commercial development along this roadway segment.
The Board may wish to consider if the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and compatible with the surrounding area.
On September 16, 2024, the Local Planning Agency heard the request and unanimously recommended approval.
