The property contains approximately 4.5 acres, more or less (pg20). Ben Berry made a motion to approve and Clarke Taylor seconded the motion. A vote of 9-0 passed the motion. Ben Berry stated that a highway widening project was planned due to the traffic congestion in the area. R1 single family homes facing a five (5) lane highway is not an ideal situation. Regardless of the motivation behind the request of the applicant, having a non-residential use on a five (5) lane highway is good planning. The non-residential use has protection for the R-1 district, has buffer requirements, and extreme limitations on the uses that go in the PI district. It will be similar to what’s across the street and compatible to the thoroughfare that is there. Also, it will be compatible to what’s undeveloped to the north that’s zoned in a PUD.
