Conf oration C -- This conf guration orients the industrial land toward Theona Drive. Industrial uses would front both sides of Theona, the existing wrecking yard on the north . .. ~~~ side and. an expanded Jerry s facility on the south side. The industrial property owners would-bear the cost of future improvements that will be needed on Theona. In addition, the significant amount of street frontage provides for the maximum opportunity to improve access and internal traffic circulation patterns on .the existing Jerry's site. This proposal would extend the industrial designation to Wilbur Avenue across from residential properties on the west side of Wilbur. The proposed site review criteria would address this situation by prohibiting access to the industrial property from Wilbur Avenue and by requiring a 3o-foot setback from the street and vegetative buffering in the setback. Based on the frontage on Wilbur Avenue, the industrial property would share in future costs of improving Wilbur Street and construction of the sanitary sewers. This L-shaped configuration of industrial Land would result in about 3 acres of _ residential property being impacted by the industrial use on two sides. Confi oration D ~- This configuration is similar to C in that it orients the industrial area to the north and concentrates the residential neighborhood in the southern half of the area. Like C, industrial uses would front both sides of Theona. The difference in this proposal is that the industrial area would extend south to the drainage channel that crosses this site from east to west. The channel, which connects to the Golden Gardens ponds, would provide an opportunity for a signif cant buffer between the industrial area to the north and the residential area to the south. This proposal includes 2 tax Lots that are not owned by Jerry's. These lots could remain zoned far residential use unril the owners choose to initiate a rezonin . g Under this scenario, no residential properties would be ~ immediately adjacent to industrial -~~~„~~ . uses. Residential properties would be separated from industrial uses b ve etatzve screening Y g and either Wilbur Avenue or the drainage channel. The site review criteria proposed by staff would require a 30 foot setback for industrial uses from both Wilbur Avenue and the drainage channel and require plantings in the ~ setback area. Thisconfiguration provides an industrial ,site of approximately 13 acres, enou h for both the lon -term ex ansion needs of g g P the existing business and for a significant, permanent setback to buffer the residential neighborhood. The entire residential area would be oriented away from the industrial uses and Beltline Hwy and would take access from V~ilbur Avenue.
