MEMORANDUM
Date: February 15, 2007
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Robert Miklo
Re: REZ07-0001 and Comprehensive Plan, South Central District, Amendment
As discussed at the February 1 meeting, staff has prepared the following text for the
South Central District Plan for Aviation Commerce Park North. The intent is to allow
consideration of two land use scenarios for Ruppert Road, either retail commercial or
intensive commercial, depending on street access and visibility. The text amendment
would appear on page 24 where the plan discusses commercial development. The
map showing the Future Land Use Scenario for the South Central District would also
be amended to depict this change.
The City has developed Aviation Commerce Park North on land that is no
longer needed for the Municipal Airport. The property has street access
from Ruppert Road with Highway 1 to the north and Riverside Drive to the
east. Much of Aviation Commerce Park North is not visible from Highway
1 and therefore commercial land uses that do not require high visibility are
appropriate. The western part of Aviation Commerce Park North is
adjacent to West port Plaza, an existing retail center. There may be the
possibility of improving street access and visibility of the western part of
Ruppert Road to allow commercial uses, such as retail, that rely on street
visibility. In absence of improved visibility and access, commer.cial uses
that do not require high visibility would be an appropriate alternative.
