Item No. 3 PC: 12-4-86 ZR -87-10 Page 4 Service on the Land Use/Circulation Element Map. The General Plan/Zoning Consistency Matrix indicates four zoning districts that are compatible with Commercial Service "under certain circumstances": C-R (Commercial -Residential), C-2, C -M, and PD (Planned District). At the present time, there are no zoning districts which are primary implementing zones for the Commercial Service land use designation. The General Plan describes the Commercial Service designation as follows: "Commercial Service provides for general retail and service areas as well as limited wholesaling activities within Urban Centers. This category recognizes most of the existing major commercial strips while promoting further development in com- pact areas along major arterials." (Land Use/Circulation Element, Policies for Development, page A-2) Neither the C-2 zone nor the C -M zone fully implement the intent of the Commercial Service General Plan designation. The staff is currently developing a new zone to implement this General Plan designation. This new zone is identified as the CS (Commercial Service) zone and would become the primary implementing zone for the Commercial Service land use designa- tion. The applicant has proposed C -M zoning for the 6.2 -acre site fronting on Harlan Road. The C -M zone allows for a wider variety of uses than the C-2 zone, which can be classified as more restrictive. Inasmuch as the applicant has proposed a residential subdivision adjacent to the proposed commercial site, and based on the action of the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors to rezone the adjacent two acres to the south to C-2, it is appropriate that the commercial site be designated C-2 instead of C -M. The Planning Division has proposed that a 1.66 -acre parcel (APN 195-121-09) owned by Douglas Ferris, and fronting on Harlan Road, be rezoned from I -PA to C-2 under this rezoning applica- tion. At this time, Mr. Ferris prefers this parcel to remain I -PA. If the Planning Commission rezones the Burgess property, the Ferris property would be the only remaining I -PA property in this portion of Lathrop. In order to avoid a remainder "spot zone" of I -PA, staff recommends that the Ferris property be included in this rezoning. Any future development of the commercial area will require, at the minimum, a Development Plan permit from the County and the availability of all urban services.
