The current zoning <br /> on the property is CC-3 (Community Commercial) and PW-II <br /> (Protected Watershed) . <br /> The Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan designation of the <br /> subject property is Rural Buffer and University Lake <br /> Water Supply Watershed. Adjacent land uses include a <br /> day care center, residential, commercial and undeveloped <br /> property. <br /> The property is located in a Protected Watershed II <br /> overlay district. The current CC-3 zoning permits <br /> several uses of an intense nature which are not <br /> permitted in the proposed EC-5 zone. These uses include <br /> hotels/motels, multi-family dwellings, assembly <br /> - facilities, nightclubs, and higher impact retail trade. <br /> Rezoning to EC-5 would provide a margin of added <br /> protection for the University Lake Watershed. The <br /> rezoning, if approved, would be consistent with the <br /> Zoning Ordinance and JPA Land Use Plan since the <br /> property is no longer in an activity node. <br /> The Planning Staff recommends approval of rezoning the <br /> property from Community Commercial-3 to Existing <br />
