Analysis Background The proposed project site has a history of retail sales and service, which included a produce market, feed store and an antique furniture store dating back to 1988. The project site had one building on-site called the "Old Red Barn" that has since been removed that was used for various retail businesses. The last recorded business license for this site was in 2002. The site is currently vacant. Opposition Letter The Community Development Department received one letter of opposition from the Linden Municipal Advisory Committee regarding the project. The concerns of the committee are: • Future development concerns. • Increased traffic on St. Rt. 26 Hwy. as a result of the proposed project. • Impact of commercial lighting on adjacent residential areas. Future Development Concerns The project site has a General Plan Designation of C/G (General Commercial) and is zoned C-G(General Commercial). The proposed project is a commercial office and warehouse complex consisting of four buildings. The surrounding parcels to the south, west and east along St. Rt. 26 Hwy are zoned C-G (General Commercial) and a General Plan Designation of C/G (General Commercial). Therefore, the proposed project does not conflict with any existing or planned land uses, and will not set any significant land use precedents in the area. Traffic Concern • The Public Works Department has determined that a traffic study will not be required for this project. State Route 26 has an 80-foot-wide right-of-way and a planned right-of-way of 80 feet. The applicant states that the project will generate between 8-16 trips per shift that will consist of delivery type vehicles such as Fed Ex and UPS. The applicant shall be required to pay Traffic and Regional Impact Mitigation fees as a condition of approval for this project. Therefore, the proposed project is not expected to significantly impact the level of service along State Route 26. Commercial Lighting Concern The project site is located on the south side of Front Street which has a fifty(50)foot right-of-way, with residences to the north of Front Street. There are no residences along the St. Rt. 26 Hwy side of the project site.As a Condition of Approval, the applicant shall be required to meet the requirements of Development Title Section 9-1015.5(g)(4)which states that all lighting shall be designed to confine direct rays to the premises. No spillover beyond the property lines shall be permitted, except onto public thoroughfares, provided, however, that such lighting shall not cause a hazard to motorist.
