Staff finds that the requested rezone is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan with particular emphasis on the following: The uses proposed within this Business Planned Unit Development (BPUD) zoning classification are compatible with the General Commercial future land use designation as well as with existing adjacent land uses. Policy FLU 1.1.2 - the ratio of building floor area (FAR) for the General Commercial Development future land use designation shall not exceed 1.95. The proposed development FAR is 1.48. Objective 1.9 – The City shall promote urban infill development and redevelopment in areas where public facilities and services are available. Policy 1.9.1 – The City shall promote and encourage infill development on previously bypassed, vacant properties and redevelopment of underutilized properties. Objective 2.1 – Concurrency: The City shall approve development only where it demonstrates that the impacts of such development do not degrade the established level-of-service standards for public facilities and services below acceptable levels. Appropriateness of the Requested Zoning Category In reviewing the appropriateness of the requested BPUD zoning designation, the Board of Planning and Appeals and City Commission, must consider the 8 specific criteria listed in Sec. 82-372 of the Land Development Regulations.
