surrounding area includes a mix of agricultural, commercial, and residential uses; within 500 feet of the subject property are two restaurants and a gas station. According to the Zoning Code, the Neighborhood Commercial (CN) zoning district applies to strategically located centers suitable for commercial activities which shall be of such size and shape as will accommodate a compact shopping center which supplies goods and services to a residential or working population on a frequent need or convenience basis. This district is distinguished from a central commercial district which provides general business and broad services to a city or region. The Residential and Agricultural (RA) zoning district provides for activities or uses characterized by low density residential lots in rural areas where "city -like" concentrations of people, strictures, streets, and urban level of services are absent, and where small farms are intennixed with low density residential lots. The RA district is intended to be only within areas designated as being in the State land use rural or urban districts. The Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals and policies to guide the coordinated growth and development of the County. It reflects a graphic depiction of the physical relationship among the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non -urban form for areas within the County. The proposed CN-10 and RA-0.5a.zoning conforms to the LUPAG Map which designates the subject property as divided in two, with the northern half of the parcel designated as Medium Density Urban (MDU) and the southern half designated as Low Density Urban (LDU). Medium Density Urban allows for village and neighborhood commercial and single family and multiple family residential and related functions. Residential density may be up to 35 units per acre in multiple family residential developments. The proposed CN zoning will be situated within MDU designation. Low Density Urban allows for residential uses, with ancillary community .and public uses. It also allows for neighborhood and convenience -type commercial uses. The overall residential density may be up to 6 units per acre. The proposed RA zoning will be largely situated within the LDU designation. -3-
