Evaluation Yes No The IMPACT to the adjacent property owners and the surrounding community is
reasonable, and the benefits of the rezoning outweigh any potential inconvenience or harm to the community. REASONING: In recent years non-residential development has increased along Ray Road. Therefore, the requested zoning to Commercial should not have a negative impact on the surrounding community.
Yes No The requested zoning district is COMPATIBLE with the existing Land Use Classification. REASONING: The requested zoning to Commercial is compatible with the existing Land Use Classification of Compact Mixed Use. This classification is meant to encourage a combination of different land uses such as small lot single family, multifamily, commercial as well as industrial type uses.
Yes No The proposal does ENHANCE or maintain the public health, safety and general welfare. REASONING: The proposed Commercial zoning is more appropriate for this site, due to commercial zoning directly across Ray Road. The proposed zoning could enhance the public health and general welfare.
Yes No The request is for a SMALL SCALE REZONING and should be evaluated for reasonableness REASONING: This site is contiguous to Commercial Zoning and does not have to be evaluated for a small scale rezoning.
