Current Conditions and Character: <br /> The properties in the area around the site act as a transition zone from the Central Business <br /> District to the single-family homes to the west. Mixed-use developments help provide this <br /> buffer between the two densities of development. <br /> 3. Most Desirable Use: <br /> The most desirable uses for these site are mixed use developments that will compliment <br /> the Central Business District. <br /> 4. Conservation of Property Values: <br /> Rezoning these sites to MU: Mixed Use District and CBD: Central Business District will <br /> not affect adjacent property's land values. <br /> 5.

This would allow for developments that are consistent with <br /> the surrounding area. <br /> Staff Comments: <br /> The staff has no additional comments at this time. <br /> APC# 2861-18 Page 2 of 3 <br />
