A site, in order to qualify as a targeted property
for transitional zoning designation, must comply with the following:
A. The site must lie between two distinctly different
zoning classifications (e.g., single-family residential and commercial/manufacturing/light
industrial), or act as a buffer between residential uses and a major
environmental nuisance (e.g., a major traffic route). Sites situated
between different commercial zones or residential zones (e.g., between
an R-1 and an R-3 or C-2 and C-3) do not qualify as a targeted property.
B. There must be a showing that development of the site
is not practical under its current zoning designation and/or that
its present zoning is incompatible with the surrounding uses. There
must be a finding of the same made at the time of rezoning and articulated
in any resolution to rezone a targeted property.
