Memorandum To: Sussex County Planning Commission Members From: Lauren DeVore, Planner III CC: Vince Robertson, Assistant County Attorney and Applicant Date: February 19, 2020 RE: Staff Analysis for CZ 1905 George Cole Jr. & Charles Cole
This memo is to provide background and analysis for the Planning Commission to consider as a part of application CZ 1905 to be reviewed during the February 27, 2020 Planning Commission Meeting. This analysis should be included in the record of this application and is subject to comments and information that may be presented during the public hearing.
The request is for a Change of Zone for parcel 134-13.00-1843.00 from a Medium Density Residential District – Residential Planned Community (MR-RPC) to a Medium Density Residential District – Residential Planned Community (MR-RPC) to amend a Condition of Approval to allow for a mixed-use building for Change of Zone (CZ 1005), Ordinance No. 600. The parcel is located at 698 Bethany Loop in Bethany Beach, Delaware. The size of the property is 0.22 acres +/-.
The 2018 Sussex County Comprehensive Plan Update (Comprehensive Plan) provides a framework of how land is to be developed. As part of the Comprehensive Plan a Future Land Use Map is included to help determine how land should be zoned to ensure responsible development. The Future Land Use map in the plan indicates that the property has the land use designation of “Coastal Area.”
The areas to the to the north, south, east and west are also designated “Coastal Areas.” “Coastal Areas” are areas that can accommodate development provided special environmental concerns are addressed. The “Coastal Area” also supports a range of housing types including single-family homes, townhomes, and multi-family units. Retail and office uses are appropriate but larger shopping centers and office parks should be confined to selected locations with access along arterial roads. Mixed-use development should also be allowed.
The Medium Density Residential (MR) Zoning District is listed as an applicable zoning district for the Coastal Area under Table 4.5-2 “Zoning Districts Applicable to Future Land Use Categories” of the 2018 Sussex County Comprehensive Plan.
The property is zoned Medium Density Residential (MR) Zoning District. The adjacent properties to the north, south and east of the application site are also zoned Medium Density Residential (MR). The properties to the west on the other side of Cedar Neck Road (S.C.R. 357) are zoned General Residential (GR). Two properties to the south are zoned Neighborhood Business (B-1).
Since 2011, there have been no Change of Zone applications within the vicinity of the application site:
Based on the analysis of the land use, surrounding zoning and uses, a change of zone to allow for a property zoned Medium Density Residential District – Residential Planned Community (MR- RPC) Zoning District, and more specifically to allow for a mixed-use building, subject to considerations of scale and impact, could be considered as being consistent with the land use, area zoning and surrounding uses.

Sincerely,
