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This request was previously heard at the March 1007 Planning Board meeting for General Business zoning request that was withdrawn by the applicant during the meeting.
