STAFF REPORT
This petition is related to land use petition 199LUC-04 PB and street vacation petition 196SVA-04 PB. The undesignated right-of-way is approximately 0.43-acres in size and is located at the Northwest corner of Southeast 2nd Avenue and Williston/Waldo Road. The property currently has no zoning or land use designation. To the north of the site is the right-of-way to be vacated in Petition 196SVA-04 PB. North of this right-of-way is the existing Education Child Care Center with a land use of MUL (Mixed Use Low Intensity, 10-30 units per acre) and a zoning designation of MU-1 (8-30 units/acre mixed use low intensity district). The owner of the child care center would like to purchase the unclassified land for the purpose of expansion. South of the subject property is Southeast 2nd Avenue, while to the east is Williston/Waldo Road. The bicycle rail trail borders the subject property on the west side.
The request of this petition is to designate unclassified land with a zoning designation of MU-1. This change is requested in order to allow for the expansion of the existing Education Child Care Center.
The Plan Board heard the petition and recommended that it be approved.
