The B2K site is an 8 -acre, pan- shaped parcel surrounded by single family homes to the north, <br />St. Thomas church to the west, Showalter Middle School to the south, and steep slopes on the <br />eastern panhandle. Although the site has frontage on Macadam Road, steep grades prevent <br />access from the Macadam to the developable area of the site. Comprising the bulk of the parcel <br />west of the panhandle, the developable area is mostly flat with grade changes of up to 10 feet. <br />The B2K parcel is developed with a baseball diamond on the southern part of the mostly flat <br />area and a practice baseball or softball diamond on the north part of the site. Pedestrians can <br />access the diamonds by walking north from Showalter Middle School or from Foster, by walking <br />north of the football stadium; there is no vehicular access. <br />Surrounding Land Uses <br />The Foster High parcel is zoned Low Density Residential (LDR) with Public Recreation Overlay <br />zoning over the portions of the parcel currently developed with sports fields. The adjacent lands <br />to the north, east, and south of the High School are also zoned LDR; the properties across 42nd <br />Ave S. are zoned Medium - Density Residential (MDR) and Low - Density Residential (LDR) with <br />Urban Renewal Overlay District. The Urban Renewal Overlay is intended to promote <br />community development; allowing the same uses allowed in the underlying zone. <br />Nonresidential uses are very limited in the LDR zone and accordingly, the properties north, east <br />and south of Foster are all single - family homes or undeveloped. In recent years, particularly <br />along S. 144th St., there has been a noticeable uptick in larger LDR -zoned properties <br />subdividing. <br />10 <br />
