The southeastern property boundary of Lot 3 (parcel 0756.04 93 0853) is Aviation Parkway. Aviation Parkway is designated on the Town’s Thoroughfare Plan to have an ultimate cross section consisting of a 65’ back-to-back street section (5 lane roadway) centered within a 90’ right-of-way. The applicant will be required to ensure that one half of a 65’ back-to-back street section, including curb and gutter, sidewalk, and right of way dedication, will be provided in conjunction with site development.

REZONING REQUEST

Analysis: The rezoning request is to change the existing zoning of B-2 to PEC. This request also includes consideration of amending the Land Use Plan from its current designation of office/institutional to office/industrial. This purpose of the request is simply to clean up the existing zoning boundary lines. The 7 parcels are currently split-zoned, with the majority of each parcel being zoned PEC. This request is to eliminate the B-2 zoning and make each parcel wholly zoned PEC.

· Will eliminate confusion by ensuring that each parcel has a single zoning designation.

· Will eliminate B-2 zoning, which is most appropriate within Activity Centers (which this site is not).

· None
