DISCUSSION:
A Zone Reclassification of approximately 5.7 acres from Neighborhood Commercial with a Design Control combining zone (C-1-D) to Community Commercial with a Design Control combining zone (C-2-D). The subject properties are on the east side of Highway 101 and separated from Highway 101 by a golf course. Both involved parcels have frontage on Benbow Drive, with access to Highway 101 in both directions, north and south. Modifying the zoning would allow a commercial cannabis distribution center on the subject property because it has frontage on an existing paved county road with immediate access to Highway 101 in both directions. The zoning change could provide additional commercial development potential in the Benbow area with minimal impacts to county roads or other neighboring land uses because the distribution route would lead directly from the property to the highway. The applicant believes there is ample market for this type of business at this location.
The adjacent parcel at the intersection of Benbow Drive and Lake Benbow Drive (APN 033-160-001) recently went through a Zone Reclassification to change the zone to C-2. This request is consistent with a consistent application of zoning for the CR designated properties in this area.
