. COMPOSITE REPORT - Page 2 APPLICATION NO. 6711 STAFF COMMENTS REGIONAL PLANNING Petition 6711. This proposed C-2 Commercial zoning is in an existing mobile home park in the Town of Springfield, with mobile homes to the north and west. There is a single access for all mobile homes and the businesses onto USH 12. The adopted town/county plan map designates this as a residential unsewered development area. The relevant adopted policy for this location is: 1. Commercial land uses in the Unsewered Development District may be considered for rezoning if the following criteria are met: a. Commercial developments should meet the minimum standards for the B-1, C-1, C-2, and LC-1, districts in the Dane County Zoning Ordinance and must be consistent with the rural character of the Town. b. Commercial development which is not agri-business should be required to locate in areas designated as "Rural Centers" on the Land Use Map. Agri-businesses may also be permitted in "Rural Centers". c. Discourage commercial development which may negatively effect the natural environment, or may at some point require the provision of extensive public services such as sewer and water. d. Unsewered commercial development sites should contain sufficient land area to provide both a long-term on-site septic treatment system, and a back-up septic treatment field. e. Discourage direct driveway access onto Highway 12 for commercial development located in Rural Centers along Highway 12. Whenever possible, commercial development should provide driveway access from a frontage road, internal road system, or other connecting arterial road which provides safer ingress and egress with Highway 12. f. Emphasis on landscaping, screening, architecture, and signage should be considered in the design review process to develop and maintain attractive commercial developments. (Continued)
