ZONING HISTORY.- The subject parcel was zoned RA when countywide zoning took
effect in 1990.
STAFF COMMENTS: The US 70 East Corridor Plan identifies this area as suitable for
future residential development. The applicant has chosen the R -O CU District
classification, which allows for a limited range of office and residential uses, such as
professional offices, single family and multi family residences. All adjacent parcels
south of Salisbury Highway are zoned residential and staff is recommending against this
request since it is inconsistent with the US 70 East Corridor Plan. The US 70 East
Corridor Plan intends to focus new commercial development at strategic intersections to
minimize strip commercial development and focus industrial uses in areas already served
by water and sewer utilities. This request was previously heard at the March 1007
Planning Board meeting for General Business zoning request that was withdrawn by the
applicant during the meeting.
