Rezoning Petition: 2016-134 by CapRock, LLC Location: Approximately 5.81 acres located on the north side of Joy Street between Ashley Road and Wilson Avenue. (Council District 3 - Mayfield) Current Zoning: B-1(neighborhood business) and R-12MF (multi-family residential) Proposed Zoning: UR-2(CD) (urban residential, conditional), five-year vested rights Zoning Committee Recommendation: The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition as modified. Staff Recommendation: Staff disagrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee due to the number of outstanding issues, the proposed density and the project being out of character with the surrounding residential area. Statement of Consistency: § The Zoning Committee found the majority of the proposed multi-family to be consistent with the Central District Plan; a small portion of the site to be inconsistent with the Central District Plan; and the density to be inconsistent with the General Development Policies (GDP), based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The plan called for multi-family development on the majority of this site; and § The plan recommends retail land uses for a small portion of the site proposed for multi-family uses; and § The GDPs (General Development Policies) recommend up to 17 units per acre not 22.7 units per acre as proposed. § Therefore, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The City has committed to 5,000 affordable housing units over the next three years; and § The urgent need for affordable housing is in the public interest; and § While 22 dwelling units per acre is well beyond the recommended 17 dwelling units per acre, some of the density will be utilized towards the age-restricted units which tend to be smaller in size; and § The proposal will result in less trips than by right development. 2016-134_reco_04-04-2017-final 2016-134 vicinity map 2016-134 rezoning map revised2 2016-134_RevSitePlan_03-27-2017 City of Charlotte Page 5 Printed on 4/18/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda April 17, 2017 7. Rezoning Petition: 2016-150 by CW Development Location: Approximately 4.13 acres located on the west side of Old Providence Road near the intersection of Old Providence Road and Old Providence Lane. (Council District 6 - Smith) Current Zoning: R-3 (single family residential) Proposed Zoning: UR-2(CD) (urban residential, conditional) Zoning Committee Recommendation: The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition as modified. Staff Recommendation: Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee. Statement of Consistency: § The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the South District Plan, and the proposed density of 4.84 dwelling units per acre is supported by the General Development Policies locational criteria, and because: § The plan recommends residential uses at a density of up to three dwellings per acre. The plan references the residential location criteria of the General Development Policies for areas of higher density development; and § The petition meets the General Development Policies locational criteria for consideration of up to six dwellings per acre. § Therefore, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The site is located between Brookdale Continuing Care Retirement Community and Gladedale Apartments to the north and a single family neighborhood to the south, and provides a transition from the institutional and multi-family uses to the single family residential neighborhood; and § Increasing the density from three dwelling units per acre to 4.84 dwelling units per acre allows four additional dwelling units be constructed on the site and is consistent with the adopted land use policies for the area; and § The proposed UR-2(CD) (urban residential, conditional) district is appropriate as it allows flexibility in site design including the preservation of an existing pond on the site; and § The pond will serve as an open space element and will also provide greater separation between the proposed townhomes and the existing single family home west of the site; and § The petition provides a site design that is compatible with the abutting the single family neighborhood by incorporating the following commitments: § A 40-foot building setback with an 18-foot wide landscaped area behind the sidewalk along Old Providence Lane and a 20-foot building setback with a 10-foot wide landscaped area behind the sidewalk along Old Providence Road. § Side and rear yards, and buffers, that are not required in the UR-1 (urban residential) district and comparable to the requirements for the abutting R-3 (single family residential) zoning. § Units oriented to the internal private road and not Old Providence Lane, consistent with the existing single family homes on the south side of Old Providence Lane which are oriented to side streets.

Staff Recommendation: Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee. Statement of Consistency: § The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the Independence Boulevard Area Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The area plan recommends office and retail uses. § Therefore, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The subject property is located along the Monroe Road corridor, near a future pedestrian oriented retail node where the adopted area plan encourages adaptive reuse of existing residential structures; and § The majority of nearby properties fronting Monroe Road are developed with nonresidential office uses; and § The petition proposes to reuse an existing residential structure for moderate intensity nonresidential use; and § No building expansions are proposed and the existing trees in the front yard will be retained thereby preserving the residential character while allowing the area to transition to nonresidential use; and § A new planting strip and sidewalk along Monroe Road will be added and parking will be located to the rear or side of the existing structure which will support the desired pedestrian oriented development form. 2017-02_ZC Reco_04-04-17-final 2017-002 vicinity map 2017-002 rezoning map 2017-002_RevSitePlan_03-27-2017 City of Charlotte Page 7 Printed on 4/18/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda April 17, 2017 9.

Staff Recommendation: Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee. Statement of Consistency: § The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the SouthPark Small Area Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The plan recommends office or a mix of office and residential uses. § Therefore, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The Centers, Corridors and Wedges Growth Framework identifies SouthPark as a Mixed Use Activity Center, a priority area for urban, pedestrian-oriented development; and § The new office building will enhance the pedestrian environment by providing an active use oriented to the public sidewalk with parking to the rear on Rexford Road, eliminating an existing bank drive-through and existing parking between the building and street; and § The site plan provides a wide setback along Rexford Road to preserve existing mature trees and provide added green space. This is consistent with other recently approved rezoning’s and supports the concept of a “green ribbon” along streets in the SouthPark area, as discussed in the recent Urban Land Institute study; and § The development provides a transition in development intensity from the existing office buildings west of the site to the residential condominium development east of the site with the following provisions: § Limits the maximum building height of one-story (maximum of 40-feet) and 6,650 square feet. The office building west of the site is five-stories and 76,620 square feet. The existing condominium buildings on the other side of the site are two stories and range in size from approximately 5,000 square feet up to approximately 13,000 square feet. § Provides a 10.5-foot wide “Class C” buffer with a minimum six-foot tall screen wall along the eastern property line abutting the condominiums. § Proposes the area to the rear of the site, between the office building parking lot and the condominiums, to be utilized for possible tree save. 2017-015_reco_4_4_17-final 2017-015 vicinity map 2017-015 rezoning map 2017-015_RevSitePlan_03-27-2017 City of Charlotte Page 8 Printed on 4/18/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda April 17, 2017 10.

Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval upon resolution of the outstanding issues. Statement of Consistency: § The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the Independence Boulevard Area Plan’s, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The area plan recommends mixed use development. § Therefore, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The subject site will serve as a transition between the more auto-oriented environment around the interchange of Independence Boulevard and Idlewild Road, and the desired pedestrian oriented environment along Monroe Road; and § The site plan allows for a mix of uses on the site, including retail and office, as called for in the area plan; and § The proposed development along Monroe Road will facilitate the desired pedestrian oriented environment on that street by placing the buildings near the sidewalk, not allowing parking between the buildings and the street, establishing pedestrian connections to the buildings from the sidewalk along Monroe Road, and providing an urban open space at the corner; and § The proposed development along Idlewild Road is designed to be more auto-oriented, consistent with the nature of Idlewild Road in this location and the connection of an on/off ramp to Independence Boulevard; and § The proposed site plan supports connectivity in the area by establishing an enhanced street network with smaller blocks and pedestrian and bicycle facilities. 2017-16_ZC Reco_04-04-17-final 2017-016 vicinity map 2017-016 rezoning map revised 3 2017-16_RevSitePlan 041017 City of Charlotte Page 9 Printed on 4/18/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda April 17, 2017 11.

Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this petition upon the resolution of the outstanding issues. Statement of Consistency: § The Zoning Committee finds the majority of this petition to be inconsistent and the smaller portion of the property to be consistent with the Dixie Berryhill Strategic Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The plan recommends employment mixed-use office/retail/light industrial for the majority of the site; and § The plan recommends office/retail land uses for portion of the site zoned CC (commercial center) as amended by petition 2013-001. § Therefore, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The site is located at the Steele Creek Road/Interstate 485 Interchange between the interchange and the Charlotte Premium Outlet Mall; and § The Dixie Berryhill Strategic Plan anticipated office and light industrial development on this site due to its close proximity to the Airport and the I-485 Interchange; and § However, the approval of rezoning petition 2013-021 for the Outlet Mall, has changed the development pattern in the area to be more focused on retail service uses, instead of light industrial uses; and § The size of the site and its location adjacent to the Outlet Mall and the I-485 interchange, lends itself to more retail and office uses instead of light industrial which require much larger acreage; and § Retail services at this location are appropriate considering recent development in the area, and its proximity to the interchange and the Outlet Mall. 2017-19_reco_04-04-2017-final 2017-019 vicinity map revised 2017-019 rezoning map revised 2 2017-019_RevSitePlan_04-11-2017 City of Charlotte Page 11 Printed on 4/18/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda April 17, 2017 13. Rezoning Petition: 2017-026 by Belk Gambrell Enterprises, LLC Location: Approximately 1.19 acres located on the north side of Fairview Road between Park Road and Wintercrest Lane. (Council District 6 - Smith) Current Zoning: UR-C (CD) (urban residential - commercial, conditional) Proposed Zoning: UR-C (CD) SPA (urban residential - commercial, conditional, site plan amendment) Zoning Committee Recommendation: The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition as modified. Staff Recommendation: Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee. Statement of Consistency: § The Zoning Committee found this petition to be inconsistent with the SouthPark Small Area Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The plan recommends multi-family residential uses as amended by a prior rezoning petition; and § The prior rezoning contained a specific condition allowing office use of the existing house. § However, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The subject is located along Fairview Road just west of the SouthPark Mixed Use Activity Center. The Fairview Road frontage has intensified over time from single family to a mix of residential types, with single family neighborhoods directly behind; and § Reuse of existing residential structures for office use along major transportation routes has been seen as a way to provide a compatible transition to adjoining neighborhoods by preserving character and scale; and § The proposed use of the property as an office, limited to the existing building and a smaller additional structure at residential scale to the rear, provides a compatible transition from Fairview Road to the single family homes abutting the site; and § The existing house on the site is highly regarded in the area as a historic element, although not officially designated by any organization. This rezoning proposal will preserve the structure; and § The existing zoning would allow a 10-story residential structure to be built on this site. This is out of character with the adjoining single family neighborhood and with other two- to three-story multi-family residential properties along Fairview Road. If approved, this rezoning proposal will remove this potential inconsistency. 2017-026_reco_4-4-17-final 2017-026 vicinity map 2017-026 rezoning map revised 2017-026_RevSitePlan_04-11-2017 City of Charlotte Page 12 Printed on 4/18/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda April 17, 2017 14.

Staff Recommendation: Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee. Statement of Consistency: § The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the Northwest District Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The plan recommends heavy industrial land uses as amended by rezoning petition 1994-077. § Therefore, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The site is located within the Mt. Holly Road/Brookshire Boulevard Industrial Activity Center per the Centers, Corridors and Wedges Growth Framework; and § The site is already zoned I-2 (heavy industrial) and the current site plan allows warehouse and office uses; and § This proposal is for a site plan amendment to the current industrial site plan and will allow a single industrial building and parking/outside storage, consistent with the Activity Center location and heavy industrial recommendation per the Northwest District Plan; and § The site is adjacent to residential development to the south, but will be separated from the abutting residential by an 88-foot wide buffer. 2017-029_reco_04-04-2017-final 2017-029 vicinity map 2017-029 rezoning map revised 2017-029_RevSitePlan_03-27-2017 City of Charlotte Page 13 Printed on 4/18/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda April 17, 2017 15.

Statement of Consistency: § The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the Blue Line Extension Transit Station Area Plans, but does not meet the adopted streetscape within the plan based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The area plan recommends transit oriented development for the site. § Therefore, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: § The site is currently located outside of the one-half mile walk distance to the 25th Street Transit Station on the LYNX Blue Line Extension. However, this site will be located within a one-half mile walk of the station once the 25th Street Neighborhood Improvement Project has been constructed; and § The proposed nonresidential uses are appropriate in a transit station area and compatible with other uses along the North Davidson Street corridor; and § Development proposes to retain and improve existing buildings, which will not exceed the 50-foot maximum height as recommended in the adopted area plan, and the scale and massing of these buildings is compatible with and sensitive to the existing abutting neighborhood to the rear; and § A rear yard and additional wooded area will also provide a transition to the neighborhood adjacent to the site; and § Though technically inconsistent with the recommended streetscape in the area plan, the proposed streetscape improvements along North Davidson Street will begin to provide better pedestrian connectivity from North Davidson Street to Cordelia Park and the future Cross Charlotte Trail located directly across East 24th Street; and § In addition, the proposed streetscape will lead to an improved and more active building façade along North Davidson Street, adding to the activity and vibrancy along this Main Street corridor. 2017-31_ZC Reco_04-04-17-final 2017-031 vicinity map 2017-031 rezoning map revised 2 2017-031_RevSitePlan_03-27-2016 City of Charlotte Page 15 Printed on 4/18/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda April 17, 2017 17.
