is zoned Rural Estate (RE) and is developed with single family detached homes. Property to the
east is zoned I-1. Uses within the surrounding area include commercial, single-family residential,

commercial uses in the area.
4. Will there be adverse effects on the capacity or safety of the portion of street network

development.
5. Will there be parking problems?

applicable local, state, and federal environmental regulations. Also, the floodplain within the
southern portion of the property will not be developed.

other zone changes, new growth trends, deterioration, and development?

There are adequate public facilities available to the property or within close proximity, which will
be extended to serve the development.
