COMPOSITE REPORT - Page 4 APPLICATION NO. 6657 <br /> STAFF COMMENTS <br /> REGIONAL PLANNING <br /> Petition 6657. This proposed commercial rezoning appears to conflict with the adopted town/county <br /> policies for this area of the Town of Christiana. <br /> The access for this property from STH 134 is the access road for the joint treatment lagoons for the <br /> Village of Cambridge and Lake Ripley. The sewage treatment lagoons are adjacent to the east in <br /> Jefferson County. <br /> The adopted town/county commercial policies for this area are: <br /> a. To prohibit strip development. <br /> b. To allow some home businesses which will be reviewed on the basis of their present and <br /> probable future impact on surrounding land uses. In considering rezoning for such <br /> uses, conditions should e attached that assure: <br /> - proper business access. <br /> - visual compatibility with surrounding area. <br /> - restrictions on expansion or re-use. <br /> To rezone only the minimum area needed and use the least intensive zoning district <br /> possible. To limit the rezoning only for the original applicant <br /> Comments Related to Policies: <br /> a. This is not a strip development in spite of its shape. <br /> b. C-2 Commercial is clearly not for home businesses and permits very intensive commercial and <br /> industrial activities which would not be consistent with these policies. <br /> - The access is primarily for the sewage treatment lagoons to the east. <br /> - This is a rural agricultural area. The commercially zoned lands to the south near USH 18 <br /> are within the Cambridge urban service area. This site is not in the urban service area. <br /> - No particular use is proposed;therefore, it is impossible to deal with expansions until <br /> there is some proposed use. <br /> - It is impossible to rezone a minimal area to a least intensive use without knowing what is <br /> proposed. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH (septic, etc.) <br /> None. <br /> DANE COUNTY HIGHWAY <br /> None. <br /> OTHER <br /> None. <br />
