4. Optional Sustainable Development Survey
PCM130102 West Brevard Street
The amendment application forms include an optional sustainable development
survey that allowed the applicant to provide information about the proximity of
services to the site under review. The form was not completed by the applicant.
F. VESTED / EXEMPT STATUS:
The subject properties are not vested or exempt.
G. CONCLUSION:
Based on the above data and analysis, staff concludes the following:
1. The requested change to the Central Urban land use category would be consistent
with the predominant development pattern occurring along this segment of West
Brevard Street. The proposed CU land use category allows office, commercial and
retail activities, along with a variety of housing types, all of which are located in the
vicinity of the subject site.
2. The proposed amendment site does not generally meet the criteria for Residential
Preservation as established by Land Use Policy 2.2.3.
3. The proposed amendment eliminates a legal nonconforming land use created at the
adoption of the Comprehensive Plan which further and supports the intent of Land
Use Objective 1.5.
4. Approval of the amendment would support and further recommendations from the
Frenchtown Revitalization Plan which direct commercial areas along West Brevard
Street to provide walkability to goods and services for the Frenchtown/Springfield
community.
5. The subject site is located in the Mobility District. Approval of this amendment
would further the goal of the Mobility District, by allowing mixed use development,
and higher intensities and densities, a prerequisite for successful implementation of
mass transit and other alternative modes of transportation.
6. Approval of this amendment is not expected to have adverse effects on public
facilities.
Thus, based on the data, analysis, and conclusions, staff is recommending approval of
this amendment.
