-~~, ~ A drawback of this proposal is that access to the industrial ,property on the west side of Wilbur Avenue would r uire access off of '~'ilbur Avenue. In addition the ro rties alon ~ ~ P Pe g the west side of wilbur in this area border the urban growth boundary and are currently fairly large parcels ranging from three-quarters of an acre to about one-and-a-half acres. Continued law-density residential uses in this area could provide a buffer between the industrial uses and land outside the urban growth boundary which is currently in agricultural use with a golf course proposed for a portion of the abutting property. STAFF REC~MMENDATIDN Metro Plan Amendment Based on the findings detailed throughout these staff notes, staff recommends approval of conf guration D. This recommendation would result in redesignation of approximately 13 acres of land on the east side of wilbur Avenue, between Theona Drive and the drainage channel, from low-density residential to light-medium industrial. An alternative option would be to approve configuration B at this time and re-visit the issue of the larger area as part of ,the AVIHwy 99 Study. However, staff recommends that the entire issue be addressed at this time. A comprehensive analysis of the area has been done and postponing a portion of the discussion, until a later date would require, the residents, property owners, planning commissioners, elected officials, and staff to restate concerns and to reexamine the issues already before us as part of this application. Zone Change Staff recommends approval of a zone change to I-21ULf SR, Light-medium industrial for a portion of the area recommended for industrial designarion as shown on the Planning Commissions' Recommendation map, This rezoning would include only parcels owned by the applicant. The two privately owned parcels 4 lots 2300 and 2404} would retain the existing low~density residential zoning until the owner initiated a rezoning. In addition, the two lots owned by Terry's located between the privately owned parcels and the drainage channel ttax lots 2044 and 2100} would remain zoned residential until tax lots 2304 and 2400 were rezoned to ensure the existing home is not encircled by industrial uses. Language addressing the appropriate timing far rezoning of these lots can be included in the AVIHwy 99 Study. In the interim, buffering of the existing house on tax lot 2300 from adjacent industrial development would be required by the site review criteria. Staff recommends that the following site review criteria be applied to the property proposed for rezoning. These criteria are based on the staff recommendation of configuration D and may need to be modified if another alternative is approved. 1. Compatibility with the residential surroundings. Provide a 34 foot setback from V~'ilbur Avenue, the drainage channel to the south and from any adjacent residential REVISED STAFF NOTES -- December 2, 1993 Page 5
