PUBLIC HEARINGS - NEW BUSINESS RZ-76-19, Planning Commission - application to prezone approximately 16.4 acres of unincorporated County land located on the east side of Santa Rita Road between Highway-580 and a point approximately 700 feet north of the intersection of Santa Rita Road and Tassajara Road to the C-S (Commercial Service) District. Secretary Harris indicated that staff recommends that all 16.4 acres be prezoned to the C-S (Commercial Service) District. There are two reasons for this; 1) the existing uses in the area would create the least number of nonconforming uses, although there will be some; and 2) the area to the west is presently developing with commercial service uses. Commissioner Doherty stated that at the time industrial properties east of Hopyard Road was discussed, there was a great deal of concern by residents regarding the amount of traffic which would be funneled onto Tassajara Road at I-580. He wondered if there would be any impact on the traffic situation if zoning on this property goes through. Secretary Harris felt that retail commercial would certainly have a greater traffic impact than service com- mercial uses. Volume of traffic should be lower. He emphasized that the ultimate location of the frontage road at I-580 would not be affected by the zoning. In fact, the road may take out one or two of the uses in the area.
