~~~~~~ portion of the area between Elizabeth. Street and the urban growth boundary is most appropriate for industrial use, 2} which portion of the area is most viable for existing and new residential development, and 3} what measures can be taken to minimize the impacts of . industrial uses and mayor roads and enhance the overall quality of the residential area. Several different confi urations of industrial and residential land use patterns for this area g were evaluated by staff to determine how best to provide for the long-term viability of the area. LAND USE CGNFIGURATI(~NS Summaries of the evaluations of the land use conf gurations that appeared to be the most feasible are provided below. The various configurations are shown on the attached Exhibit A Configuration A} and Exhibit E fall other configurations}. AlI of the configurations assume the vacation of Elizabeth Street to allow for the expansion of Jerry's to the west. Conf uration A -~ This configuration was submitted by the applicant to address immediate expansion needs with the expectation that consideration of the future of the remainder of the area would occur as art of the AvIH99 Study. This proposal has three drawbacks. P First, access ~to the existing Jeny's site and internal circulation patterns are already problematic due to the triangular shape of the site and limitations imposed by Beltline Hwy and Hwy 99. This configuration would expand the industrial use on to a very deep site providing little additional street frontage to serve to acres of new industrial development. This proposal would not provide apporlunities to significantly improve the access and traffic ~-~-~ circulation situation. Second, this configuration expands industrial uses further to the south which appears to be the most viable area for a residential nei hborhood. In this scenario, man residential loll g Y on the east side. of Wilbur Street, about to acres of residential property, would directly abut industrial .property. Third, the Industrial .property would be split by a drainage channel. Consideration could be given to i in the channel to allow industrial development of the site. PP g onfi u 'on -~ This configuration limits the industrial designation to approximately 6 acres and~~addresses the immediate expansion needs of ]erry's. This configuration, similar to A would result in several residential ro vies, about 6 acres, directl abutting industrial P Pe y development; Site review criteria could be applied to require screening, However, due to the configuration and size of the site and the larger amount of property that would remain .residential, the recommended site review setback of 30 feet would be a significant burden on the industrial development. This configuration provides only limited opportunity for improving the existing access and internal circula~.on patterns. vtSED STAFF NDTES --December 2, I993 Page ~
