Planning and Zoning Commission

MEETING OF THE GREENSBORO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 20, 2026 The regular meeting of the Greensboro Planning and Zoning Commission was held in person and electronically through a Zoom meeting and broadcast simultaneously on the City of Greensboro’s website on Monday, April, 2026 beginning at 5:30 p.m. Commission members present were Chair Mary Skenes, Vice Chair Warché Downing, Catherine Magid, Betty Turner, Paul Gilmer Sr., Stu Nichols and Ted M. Oliver. Present for City staff were Mike Kirkman, Andrew Nelson and Carla Harrison (Planning); Brent Ducharme (City Attorney’s Office); Nolan Tipton and Marjorie Manzanares (GDOT). Chair Skenes welcomed everyone to the meeting and noted the meeting was being conducted both in-person and online. Chair Skenes advised of the policies, procedures and instructions in place for the Planning and Zoning Commission. She noted that not all concerns expressed by residents could be considered by the Commission. She stated that the Commission reviews all original zoning and rezoning requests for the City of Greensboro. Chair Skenes said the Commission could only consider a case based on the recommendations of the GSO2040 Comprehensive Plan and whether a request is otherwise reasonable. Chair Skenes briefly explained how the Commission members normally prepare for the meeting by reviewing materials and visiting the subject properties. She advised that any participants attending virtually would be called upon to speak when the request they are interested in is presented. Chair Skenes requested residents to direct all questions and comments to the Commission only. If needed, the members would seek staff or the city attorney’s advice. Chair Skenes noted the online meeting was being recorded and televised and was close- captioned for the hearing impaired. She further explained the expedited agenda for items without any speakers in opposition and that staff would give a shortened presentation. Applicants would have up to 2 minutes to speak if they had additional information they wanted Commissioners to know. Chair Skenes noted that for non-zoning requests the applicant would have up to 3 minutes to speak on the item. Brent Ducharme, Assistant City Attorney, then advised that, when considering rezoning applications, the Planning and Zoning Commission makes determinations based on the land uses allowed under the proposed zoning district put forth in the rezoning application and, where applicable, any proposed conditions included with the application. Land use concerns can be wide reaching and, by way of example, impacts on public infrastructure such as traffic concerns may be relevant when new land uses would be allowed by a rezoning. However, concerns not related to land use and the conditions of a rezoning application, including concerns about school impacts and crime rates, are not germane to the determinations made by this body. Such issues may be referred to the Planning Department or the Technical Review Committee (TRC) as appropriate. Mr. Ducharme also addressed concerns raised by some of the Commissioners regarding an occurrence over the past weekend. He stated the matter was brought to his attention prior to the meeting; it was reported that a resident visited some of the Commissioners’ homes unannounced.  MEETING OF THE GREENSBORO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 20, 2026 The resident wanted to discuss an item(s) that was on the agenda. Mr. Ducharme emphasized that city staff, including the Planning Department, had an excellent system to relay residents’ concerns. Specific to items presented to the Commission, and in advance to the public hearing. He said residents expressing their concerns via staff was the most effective means of communication in place. However, residents going to Commissioners’ home unannounced was not recommended. As such, the Commissioners could use their judgment as to whether to entertain the resident(s) and to seek assistance from the police if necessary. Speaking on behalf of the City; they did not endorse the idea of residents going to the Commissioners’ home unannounced to discuss the city’s work. He noted the matter could be further discussed later at the end of the meeting. Chair Skenes agreed that the commissioners would talk further during matters from the commission. She thanked Mr. Ducharme for his advice on the matter. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ABSENCES: Chair Skenes acknowledged the absence of Commissioner Keith Peterson and Commissioner Erica Glass. Chair Skenes wished Commissioner Keith Peterson a speedy recovery from his recent surgery. APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES: (APPROVED) Chair Skenes requested approval of the March 16, 2026 meeting minutes. Motion Mr. Nichols made a motion to approve the March 16, 2026 meeting minutes, seconded by Mr. Gilmer, Sr. The Commission voted 7 - 0, (Ayes: Chair Skenes, Vice Chair Downing, Magid, Turner, Gilmer Sr., Nichols and Oliver). Nays: (None). WITHDRAWALS OR CONTINUANCE: Chair Skenes inquired if there were any items withdrawn or to be continued. Mr. Kirkman advised the applicant for item Z-26-04-013 for the properties identified as 1201 and 1207 Pisgah Church Road was seeking a continuance to the July 20, 2026 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Chairs Skenes asked the Assistant City Attorney for advice regarding the validity of hearing a case involving property that is the subject of current litigation since a recent zoning approval for the property identified as 1201 Pisgah Church Road was currently in litigation. Mr. Ducharme advised that rezoning was a legislative act guided by policy consideration. Therefore, property owner(s) had the right and ability to request rezoning, and the city had the continued authority to consider such rezoning applications. He noted that there were similar examples from municipalities around the state, where rezoning decisions were challenged. Mr.  MEETING OF THE GREENSBORO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 20, 2026 Ducharme stated at the same time there were successive zoning application where parties might want different determinations if they want to do something slightly different. Chair Skenes pointed out the previous rezoning request and this request were separate items. And current litigation would not prevent the public hearing process. Mr. Ducharme agreed with Chair Skenes that the public hearing could proceed. Chair Skenes then stated, given the concerns and comments received from residents in the area she was allocating five minutes for the applicant and the residents to speak on the item. She called the applicant to the podium to explain the reason for the continuance request. In Support Mr. William Johnson (B.J), 2406 N Elm Street stated he needed the additional time to have more discussion with the residents. He pointed out that the nature of this request and experience with the previous rezoning process meant more time was needed for community engagement. Mr. Johnson said he wanted to ensure the process was done in a proper manner. He added that the project was still evolving and allowing the continuance would be in the best interest of everyone. Chair Skenes confirmed with Mr. Johnson that the continuance would be to the July 20th meeting. She also confirmed with staff that this was the correct date for the hearing. Chair Skenes asked for further comments from the applicant. Hearing none, she asked for anyone wishing to speak in opposition, to the continuance, to come to the podium. Chair Skenes noted they had five (5) minutes in total to speak. Opposition Mr. Timothy Souhan, 624 Willoughby Boulevard, thanked the commissioners for the volunteer work they do. He acknowledged some of the commissioners who spoke with him on the telephone prior to the meeting. Mr. Souhan asked the question “why the delay?”. He stated this rezoning application was submitted to the city on March 6th, and the residents were notified through the public notice on April 2nd. Hence, the residents were present at the meeting, in person, to speak against the request. He felt the request should be voted on at the meeting. He said the residents deserved this level of dignity. He described the applicant as a professional developer, while the residents were ordinary people with jobs and lives. He noted the residents had spent over one year opposing this situation. Mr. Souhan noted the applicant was also granted a delay last year (March 17th) the same day of the City Council meeting while some residents were still on their way to the City Council meeting. Mr. Souhan said postponing the request to July 20th was inappropriate. He said there should not be another delay and asked for the Commission to vote on the request.  MEETING OF THE GREENSBORO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 20, 2026 Mickey Adams, 602 Blanton Place, stated that the Commission’s focus was land use. And land use was how New Irving Park was designed as a suburban development in the city. Ms. Adams said the developers of Irving Park included John Nolan in 1911, one of the country’s premier landscape architects and city planners. A master plan was developed which incorporated the comfort of the city with the joys of country living. All the streets, sidewalks, gardens, homes and other manmade objects were designed to blend into the natural surroundings, creating a park-like setting. All telephone and electric wires were buried. She noted special deed restrictions were in place to ensure the character and appearance of the area would be preserved. And Irving Park was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Mr. Adams mentioned 1201 Pisgah Church Road was at the main entrance and egress of New Irving Park Chair Skenes prompted Ms. Adams there was one minute remaining for her to tell the commissioners why the continuance should not be granted. Mr. Ducharme advised that what was before the commission was the motion for a continuance. He noted getting into discussion about the rezoning request was not appropriate. Chair Skenes explained to Ms. Adams that her presentation should be centered around the continuance of the request and not providing arguments for the rezoning concerns. Ms. Adams noted the residents were opposing the continuation of the request on a land use standpoint. She said the residents did not agree to the previous change from (R-3) Single-family – 3 to CD-RM-12 (Conditional District – Multi-family -12) zoning district. And the residents still maintain this position. Chair Skenes then asked if there was anyone else wishing to speak in opposition to granting the continuance. Nicky Smith, 402 Kemp Road West, strongly opposed continuing the request. He stated the item would continue into the summer months. Mr. Smith said the residents made effort to be present at the meeting and they deserved to be heard. He said the meeting should not be delayed for another three (3) months, making it difficult for the residents while the developer would benefit from the delay. He asked the commissioners to respect the residents wish to not continue the request. Chair Skenes asked if there was anyone else wishing to speak in opposition to the continuance of the request. Hearing none, she closed the public hearing. Chair Skenes then asked for comments from the Commissioners.  MEETING OF THE GREENSBORO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 20, 2026 Commission Comments Mr. Nichols asked the Assistant City Attorney for advice on the legal standard for the commission considering the continuance. Mr. Ducharme stated the ultimate consideration was whether there would be inequity to any of the parties in granting the continuance. Mr. Ducharme noted that historically the Commission heavily looked at whether or not a project was still being refined. Chair Skenes asked for further comments from the Commissioners. Vice Chair Downing noted the biggest inequity would be not having more time and information from both parties. He said the City and the Commission value information and different perspectives. Mr. Downing mentioned he was in receipt of emails from the residents. One of the concerns raised were the litigation, which he said was not the subject of the matter before the Commission. And some residents were asking for more communication. Mr. Downing said allowing the continuance would give both parties more time to talk and resolve issues. He supported the continuance saying it was incumbent upon the commission to do so for both parties. He said there was no bias, it was the right thing to do. Mr. Gilmer, Sr. also supported the request for the continuance. Ms. Magid then made a motion to grant the continuance for the rezoning request, Z-26-04-013, to the July 20, 2026 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Mr. Gilmer, Sr. seconded the motion. The Commission voted 7 - 0, (Ayes: Chair Skenes, Vice Chair Downing, Magid, Turner, Gilmer Sr., Nichols and Oliver). Nays: (None).

Hearing none, she noted the Commission would address these items through expedited review and reordered the agenda accordingly. Chair Skenes announced item PL(P) 26-12, Zoning, Planning and Development Text Amendment would be the first item to be heard. PL(P) 26-12 Zoning, Planning and Development Text Amendment: Amending the Greensboro Land Development Ordinance, Section 30-12-2, Flood Damage Prevention, specifically Section 30-12-2.1, General, and Section 30-12-2.4, Amendments to the Flood Insurance Rate Map. (RECOMMENDED APPROVAL) Christopher Andrews, Deputy Director, Planning Department briefly spoke on the text amendment. He acknowledged the presence of Danielle Quick and Chester Holder staff of the Water Resources Department and said they were present to address questions anyone might have. Mr. Andrews noted the text amendment was city initiated, related to verbiage in the Flood Damage Prevention Section of the Land Development Ordinance. He stated the change was minor but necessary due to recent changes in maps and terminology in documentation at both the Federal and State levels new floodplain maps that were made available. Mr. Andrews said firstly, the floodplain maps were required by FEMA for the city’s participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. Secondly, the language pertaining to “no rise” was a change in the language to reflect the current documentation. So, the changes were just to the language used, and not necessarily a change in the development process. Chair Skenes restated the text amendment was precipitated by changes at the State level and in order to be consistent with the State requirement the Land Development Ordinance had to be amended accordingly. Mr. Andrews concurred with Chair Skenes. Chair Skenes asked for questions and comments from the Commissioners. Hearing none, she closed the public hearing. Commission Motion Ms. Turner then stated regarding item PL(P) 26-12, the Greensboro Planning and Zoning Commission believes that its action to recommend approval of the text amendment request for the Flood Damage Prevention Text Amendment to be consistent with the adopted GSO2040 Comprehensive Plan and considers the action taken to be reasonable and in the public interest for the following reasons: (1.)

The CD-RM-12, as conditioned, would permit a maximum of 120 dwelling units. The proposed uses are similar to existing uses in the surrounding area. The proposed density is also appropriate given its location in proximity to a highway. Care should be taken with respect to building orientation, building materials, building height, and visual buffers to ensure an appropriate transition to the low density residential on adjacent properties.

Ms. Magid referenced the public meeting notes and noted there was comment on the unit count. She wanted to know if the proposed unit count could be reduced. Mr. Kirkman noted that the proposed maximum unit count considered at the meeting was 120 dwellings. However, with site constraints and other factors the number of dwellings built could be less than that amount. Ms. Magid read from the applicant’s neighborhood summary, “obtain approval for development and construction of approximately 104” and was reduced to 85 units. Ms. Magid then noted the unit count would continue to be determined. She thanked staff.  MEETING OF THE GREENSBORO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 20, 2026 Chair Skenes concurred with Ms. Magid and noted that the unit count would be no more than the proposed 120 dwellings.

Box 669, Walkertown, stated rezoning from LI (light industrial) zoning district to CD-R-5 (conditional district – single-family residential – 5) greatly reduced the intensity of use of the site. Mr. Carter said the subject property is within a floodplain and about half an acre of developable land was available along Willow Road. He said he would greatly appreciate the commissioners supporting the request. Chair Skenes noted a member of the public wanted to know how the two dwellings would be placed on the property. She asked if it would split down the middle evenly and would there sufficient road frontage. She asked the applicant to elaborate on these concerns. Mr. Carter stated the property would be split down the middle for two building lots. Chair Skenes asked if the buildable area was in the front of the subject property.

Z-26-04-007: A rezoning request from R-3 (Residential Single-family – 3) to CD-RM-26 (Conditional District - Residential Multi-family – 26) for the properties identified as 701 Brigham Road, 7924 Eric Road, and 7911 Atchison Road, generally described as west of Brigham Road and south of Atchison Road (14.53 acres). (APPROVED) Mr. Nelson reviewed the summary information for the subject properties and surrounding properties. Mr. Nelson advised the applicant proposed the following condition: 1. Permitted uses shall be limited to: Residential Uses. Mr. Nelson stated that the GSO2040 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Built Form Map currently designates the subject properties as Urban General. The Western Area Plan designates this location as Employment Area on the Future Land Use Map. Staff determined the proposed rezoning request supports the GSO2040 Comprehensive Plan’s Filling In Our Framework Big Idea to arrange our land uses for where we live, work, attend school, shop and enjoy our free time to create a more vibrant and livable Greensboro and the Creating Great Places Goal to create a citywide network of unique neighborhoods offering residents of all walks of life a variety of quality housing choices. The CD-RM-26 zoning district, as conditioned, would permit a variety of residential housing types. The proposed uses are similar to existing uses in the surrounding area  MEETING OF THE GREENSBORO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 20, 2026 and the change in zoning for this property is also appropriate given its location in proximity to the Greensboro Urban Loop. Care should be taken with respect to building orientation, building materials, building height, and visual buffers to ensure an appropriate transition to the low density residential on adjacent properties. Staff recommended approval of the request. Chair Skenes asked for any questions from the Commissioners. Hearing none, Chair Skenes called the applicant to the podium to speak on the request. She reminded the applicant had ten minutes available to talk on the request. In Support of: Nick Blackwood, 804 Green Valley Road, represented the applicant and the party under contract to purchase a portion of the development. Mr. Blackwood noted that this request correlated with item Z-26-04-008. Therefore, the presentation included both requests. Mr. Blackwood displayed an aerial map of the subject properties and highlighted some of the transportation thoroughfare in the area. The subject properties were in proximity to Pleasant Ridge Road. And traversing north of Pleasant Ridge Road there was Brigham Road intersection very close to West Market Street, which was in close proximity to Interstate 73 and Highway 68. He noted the road network in the area was attractive for the request. Mr. Blackwood said the very proximal access to the Airport (PTI); in addition to recent economic announcements in the area promoted the city’s initiative of encouraging development of 10,000 additional dwellings. Thus, the request proposed additional dwellings in close proximity to the economic growth area. Mr. Blackwood gave an overview of how the project evolved. He stated developers from both requests swapped land to create more contiguous land. The land swap allowed for better site layout and a better project for all parties involved. Mr. Blackwood reviewed the surrounding zoning districts. He stated there is a well-established mix of higher density multi-family zoning. He highlighted planned unit development and business park zoning north of the request; multi-family (CD-RM-8, CD-RM-18) and business park zoning east of the request; and light industrial zoning south of the request. Mr. Blackwood noted there was already a pattern of similar type development to the request in the area and emphasized the need for additional housing in the city, particularly in proximity to the airport. Mr. Blackwood showed an illustrative plan depicting the general site layout for the project. He mentioned the Civil Engineer, Chuck Truby, was present to address any technical questions pertaining to the site layout. Mr. Blackwood said the housing type would be townhome development. However, the proposed CD-RM-26 allowed for flexibility that could allow various multi-family housing types. Mr. Blackwood indicated the PUD associated with Z-26-04-008 had mixed use components including offices, commercial, and other neighborhood supporting uses fronting Brigham Road. He highlighted that with all the people coming to live in the area, they wanted to provide walkable communities with nearby amenities and commercial oriented use without residents having to leave the area.  MEETING OF THE GREENSBORO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 20, 2026 Mr. Blackwood spoke about community outreach. He showed a copy of the notice letter mailed to the property owners within the city’s 750 foot notification radius. He noted only one person, from an adjacent apartment community, reached out to the applicant. Mr. Blackwood said the person was provided with same material given to the commissioners at the meeting. And there was no objection expressed relating to the land use. Mr. Blackwood acknowledged the presence of the representative (Mr. Lewis) of the adjacent apartment community. He said he briefly spoke with Mr. Lewis prior to the hearing and the concern expressed was more to do with marketing of existing development in the area rather than land use considerations. Mr. Blackwood advised Philip and Brad, as well as Mr. Truby, were present on behalf of the developer to address any questions the commissioners might have. Chair Skenes asked for questions from the Commissioners. Hearing none, Chair Skenes asked if anyone else wished to speak in favor of the request. Hearing none, she asked for persons wishing to speak in opposition to the request to come to the podium. Chair Skenes noted persons in opposition had a shared total of ten minutes to speak on the request. In Opposition of: Britton Lewis, 235 North Edgeworth Street, was present on behalf of West Shore Pleasant Garden LLC. Mr. Lewis said he represented the property owners of the adjacent multi-family development. He noted it was unusual to be speaking on behalf of a property owner that owned an existing use which was in line to what was being requested. Mr. Lewis mentioned the City’s road to 10,000 dwellings initiative and said it was not anticipated that all 10,000 dwellings would be placed on the same road. Mr. Lewis said that Brigham Road and Pleasant Garden Road were two rural roads on the outskirts of the city. He noted it was a 22- minute drive, not exactly proximate to the city center and not filling in our existing framework. Mr. Lewis pointed out that there were currently multi-family developments adjacent to the request. He said the area was ripe for development but not development of this scale. Mr. Lewis said between this request and the request under Z-26-04-008; there would be a total of 1100 dwellings of the targeted 10,000 dwellings. He said these dwellings in addition to three existing multi-family development was like putting too many eggs in one basket. Mr. Lewis stated the real concern was traffic in the area, specifically Pleasant Ridge Road. Mr. Lewis mentioned the PUD proposed in Z-26-04-008. He questioned whether the non- residential component would benefit the residents on a daily basis. Mr. Lewis said the residents would need to make trips, on a two lane road in their cars in order to get to the interstate and highway. He stated this would be high burden of stress. Mr. Lewis said he and his client anticipated residents to come to the hearing to speak on the request. But since no one showed up, his client wanted to voice concerns and at least bring attention to what was happening in the area.  MEETING OF THE GREENSBORO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 20, 2026 Mr. Lewis stated that the development happening in the area should not be considered lightly and was much of an impact on the community. He stated proposing conditions was one thing but having 1100 dwellings and placing sidewalk on one side of the road was like “a sidewalk to nowhere.” He said no one would use the sidewalk. Mr. Lewis said with the continued development was too much and too quick and would be too much stress on the school district. Mr. Lewis noted the proposed RM-26 on the 14 acre tract would be denser than the area might prescribe. He said lowering the density might make more sense. But would still not alleviate some of the concerns, especially having another 750 dwellings from the next agenda item (Z-26-04-008). Chair Skenes asked for questions from the Commissioners. Mr. Oliver asked Mr. Lewis to clarify the numbers regarding proposed dwellings. He noted 1100 dwellings was noted then 750 dwellings. Mr. Lewis explained 1100 dwellings was the total number of dwellings between this request (RM- 26 for 14 acres), and the dwellings proposed under the Z-26-04-008 request for the PUD zoning. Mr. Oliver asked Mr. Lewis if he knew the total number of units that would be constructed after approval. Mr. Lewis stated another development (Hawthorne Apartments) that was recently approved; and before this was another RM-26 development approved. He said he was unable to give an exact number of dwellings to be constructed in the area. However, he estimated in excess of 2,000 dwellings in the area. Chair Skenes asked for further questions from the Commissioners. Mr. Nichols asked Mr. Lewis what the proximity of the request to the airport was. He noted the airport would be a major center for employment. Mr. Nichols pointed out that one of the Filling in the Framework goals was having homes in proximity to jobs. He mentioned Mr. Lewis stated that the airport was thirty-five minutes away from the airport and it was not. Mr. Nichols asked Mr. Lewis to address the airport proximity concerns. Mr. Lewis agreed the request was in proximity to the airport. And his client built dwellings in the area as well. And it made sense to have housing close to the airport with the opportunity for expansion in the area. However, there would not be 1,100 new people going to work at the airport. He said the jobs are present but not all the people working at the airport would live in the area. He said there were no amenities in the area. Such as parks, grocery stores and such, that the residents would need on a daily basis. Also, even though the airport was in proximity it was not walkable for residents to access the airport. Mr. Lewis said getting to the airport the residents would still need to go on the highway. He stated he was not saying the housing should not be in the area, but the project was too big and too fast.  MEETING OF THE GREENSBORO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 20, 2026 Mr. Nichols pointed out that it was said that the request would dilute the adjacent development investment. Mr. Nichols asked whether the commission, focusing on land use, should take into consideration the adjacent developer’s return on investment. Mr. Lewis clarified investment was not a matter of land use and should not be a consideration for the Commission. However, having smart strategic planning was the function of the Commission. Ms. Magid asked whether Mr. Lewis’ client was West Shore. Mr. Lewis confirmed his client was West Shore Pleasant Ridge, LL and owned an existing apartment complex known as Plantation at Pleasant Ridge. Ms. Magid asked Mr. Lewis if his client’s development was fully occupied. She asked if his client was developing anything new. Mr. Lewis explained the apartment site was developed by s previous owner and it was in operation. And he was unsure of the occupancy rate. Ms. Magid restated the development was up and running. She asked if he knew how many units were at the development. Mr. Lewis was unsure of the number of units in the development. Chair Skenes asked for further questions from the Commissioners. Hearing none, she asked if anyone else wished to speak in opposition to the request. Hearing none, Chair Skenes asked the applicant’s attorney to come to the podium. She noted there was five (5) minutes for rebuttal. Rebuttal In Support Mr. Nick Blackwood pointed to the adjacent development on the land use map noting it was zoned CD-RM-26. He wanted the Commission to consider that this request had a density that was consistent to the surrounding development. Mr. Blackwood addressed questions raised by Mr. Nichols in respect to the number of possible employment opportunities coming to the airport. He mentioned Jet Zero announcement with estimated 14,500 jobs. Mr. Blackwood said the proposed development was sizeable but the size of the land for this request and the PUD (Z-26- 04-008) request had a density of about 19.6 dwellings per acre. Therefore, the combined density was consistent with the surrounding residential densities. Mr. Blackwood stated the reason for growth along Brigham Road and Pleasant Ridge Road was largely driven by the airport and the proximity of jobs. As well as the transportation infrastructure in the area. He noted a traffic impact study was conducted for both requests. And there were no  MEETING OF THE GREENSBORO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 20, 2026 significant transportation improvements recommended. Mr. Blackwood mentioned the TIA review included both requests, and the existing multi-family development in the area. And was determined the existing transportation network was sufficient. He noted public investment in the area improving Pleasant Ridge Road, West Market Street, and Interstate 73 was done to accommodate development such as the proposed development. Chair Skenes asked for questions from the Commissioners. Chair Skenes noted the TIA was reviewed for 336 dwellings and there was a dwelling count limited to 715 dwellings for the PUD Development (Z-26-04-008). Thus, having a total build-out of 1,051 dwellings. She asked Mr. Blackwood if he knew the timing for the build-out for both projects. Mr. Blackwood called on his colleagues to address the built-out period. Chair Skenes noted employment opportunities coming to the area would be a gradual process. Hence she wanted to understand the build-out period for the project. Stating the project would not be constructed at once, it would be gradual as economic development evolved in the area. Mr. Blackwood agreed with Chair Skenes that job creation would be a gradual process. And it would take years to have the finished housing product. However, time is of the essence. Mr. Blackwood again called on his colleagues to address Chair Skenes’ question. Chair Skenes said it was a curiosity regarding the numbers announced for the airport expansion. Therefore, she asked was anticipated for the build-out. Bradley Chambers, 6 Allwood Court, stated the plan was to commence construction the first quarter of 2027. Having the first set of dwellings delivered first quarter of 2028. And construct should complete end of 2028. Chair Skenes estimated two (2) years build-out. Mr. Chambers confirmed approximately two (2) years build-out. Chair Skenes asked for further questions from the Commissioners. Mr. Nichols asked the Mr. Blackwood and Mr. Chambers to talk about the availability of present or planned amenities or shopping in the area. Mr. Blackwood noted that the project would be designed to make it attractive for leasing or for sale. He said the non-residential components was part of the PUD and he deferred to address the question during the presentation for request (Z-26-04-008).  MEETING OF THE GREENSBORO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 20, 2026 Chair Skenes asked for questions from the Commissioners. Hearing none, she asked if the applicant or anyone else wished to speak in favor of the request. Hearing none, Chair Skenes asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the request. She noted there was five (5) minutes for the rebuttal. Mr. Lewis had no further comments. Hearing no further comments Chair Skenes closed the public hearing. Chair Skenes asked for comments or motion from the Commissioners. Vice Chair Downing stated that competition was good and one could compete with quality and exceptional service. He said product in high demand would sell. Vice Chair Downing noted that the Western Area Plan governs growth in the area and was still something the commission looked to as a guiding document. He pointed out the proposed development would commence in about two (2) years, and housing was necessary. Vice Chair Downing acknowledged the concern that development in the area appeared too much. However, to have growth, and to maintain and attract businesses development this needed to happen. He supported the request. Ms. Magid acknowledged that the project was in District 5, the district in which she lived. She thanked the applicant. Ms. Magid stated more housing was needed in this district. Ms. Turner said the project was impressive and future oriented. She said having this type of project throughout the city would best address housing needs especially in fast growing areas. Ms. Magid added that having the developers coming together to figure out the best use of the land was wonderful to hear. She noted they worked together for a common goal. Mr. Oliver noted that even though Jet Zero would have 14,500 jobs, there would be a multiplier effect leading to a lot more jobs in the area. He said there would be supporting jobs leading to more people coming to the city. Therefore, housing would be necessary. Chair Skenes asked for further comments from the Commissioners. Commission Motion: Rezoning Ms. Magid then stated regarding item Z-26-04-007, the Greensboro Planning and Zoning Commission believes that its action to recommend approval of the rezoning request for the properties at 701 Brigham Road, 7924 Eric Road, and 7911 Atchison Road from R-3 (Residential Single-family – 3) to CD-RM-26 (Conditional District - Residential Multi-family – 26) to be consistent with the adopted GSO2040 Comprehensive Plan and considers the action taken to be  MEETING OF THE GREENSBORO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 20, 2026 reasonable and in the public interest for the following reasons: (1.) The request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Built Form Map and Future Land Use Map; (2.) The proposed CD-RM-26 zoning district, as conditioned, permits uses that fit the context of the surrounding area and limits negative impacts on adjacent properties; (3.) The request is reasonable due to the size, physical conditions, and other attributes of the area, it will benefit the property owner and surrounding community, and approval is in the public interest. Mr. Gilmer, Sr. seconded the motion. The Commission voted 7 - 0, (Ayes: Chair Skenes, Vice Chair Downing, Magid, Turner, Gilmer Sr., Nichols and Oliver). Nays: (None). Chair Skenes advised the vote constituted a final action, unless appealed in writing and the appeal fee paid within 10 days. Anyone may file such an appeal. All such appeals would be subject to a public hearing at the Tuesday, May 19, 2026 City Council Meeting. All adjoining property owners will be notified of any such appeal. Z-26-04-008: A rezoning request from R-3 (Residential Single-family – 3) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) and consideration of the associated Unified Development Plan for the properties identified as 709, 711, and a portion of 715 Brigham Road, and 7914 and 7927 Atchison Road, generally described as west of Brigham Road and south of Pleasant Ridge Road (41.23 acres). (APPROVED) Mr. Nelson reviewed the summary information for the subject properties and surrounding properties. Mr. Nelson advised the applicant proposed the following conditions: Phase 1: 1. Uses shall be limited to those permitted in the RM-26 zoning district. 2. A maximum of 715 residential units exclusive of amenity areas, leasing office(s), and other accessory uses. Phase 2: 1. Uses shall be limited to those permitted in the C-M, O, and LIM zoning districts. 2. Maximum building area for non-residential uses shall be limited to 165,900 square feet. Mr. Nelson noted a Unified Development Plan (UDP) was associated with the request. Mr. Nelson stated that the GSO2040 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Built Form Map currently designates the subject property as Urban General. The Western Area Plan designates this location as Employment Area on the Future Land Use Map. Staff determined the proposed rezoning request supports the GSO2040 Comprehensive Plan’s Filling In Our Framework Big Idea to arrange our land uses for where we live, work, attend school, shop and enjoy our free time  MEETING OF THE GREENSBORO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 20, 2026 to create a more vibrant and livable Greensboro and the Creating Great Places Goal to create a citywide network of unique neighborhoods offering residents of all walks of life a variety of quality housing choices. The PUD (Planned Unit Development) zoning district, as conditioned, would permit a mixture of residential and non-residential uses. The proposed uses are similar to existing uses in the surrounding area, and the newer uses are consistent with the growth character of the area. Care should be taken with respect to building orientation, building materials, building height, and visual buffers to ensure an appropriate transition to the low density residential on adjacent properties. Staff recommended approval of the request. Chair Skenes asked for any questions from the Commissioners. Hearing none, Chair Skenes called the applicant to the podium to speak on the request. She reminded the applicant had ten minutes available to talk on the request. In Support of: Nick Blackwood, 804 Green Valley Road, called on one of his colleagues to talk about the commercial uses that would be along Brigham Road. The presentation was to address earlier question asked by Mr. Nichols. Brad Deaton, 1400 Battleground Avenue, representing Cross Point Homes, the residential component for Phillips Group. Mr. Deaton stated there were multiple tracts involved in the development; residential tracts and the mixed-use tracts. He gave an overview of the project and stated there was sewer existing along the western property boundaries. Mr. Deaton said this was what presented the opportunity for both parties to dialog and to collaborate. He said along this line the project was designed in a manner to allow access to sewer for the neighboring project. Mr. Deaton mentioned his team was over the residential component. He said the mixed use consisted of light industrial, commercial and other specific uses and amenities that would benefit the residents. He said the mixed use components were in progress. Mr. Deaton stated they owned other properties in the area, which would be in addition to this and for larger service types uses. He noted these non-residential components would support both requests. Mr. Nichols thanked Mr. Deaton for his detailed response. However, he clarified his question and wanted to know about what other developers were doing in the area. Thus, if they were aware of other planned or existing developments within a short drive of the requests. Mr. Deaton pointed to the aerial map showing a property in the area they owned and noted it was currently zone commercial. This commercial tract was in proximity and would be available to the both requests. Mr. Blackwood said there was a recent PUD approved along Pleasant Ridge Road. He stated this recent approved PUD incorporated a fairly large residential development but also included  MEETING OF THE GREENSBORO PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 20, 2026 commercial and office uses. Mr. Blackwood expressed there would not be a shortfall of commercial opportunities in the area. Mr. Nichols stated this was the implication of his question. He said with this density and number of people in a relatively small area, there would be all the types of infrastructure such as shopping and movie theaters to be developed in the area. Mr. Nichols said it is known that commercial developments follow people. Mr. Blackwood agreed with Mr. Nichols and added that commercial development would come to the area. However, he wanted to reference the unique opportunity of having commercial services within the confines of the requests. Thus, keeping traffic off the street. Chair Skenes asked for questions from the Commissioners. Hearing none, she asked if there was anyone wishing to speak in opposition to the request. She called on Mr. Lewis. In Opposition of: Mr. Lewis had no comments. Hearing no comments and with no further objection Chair Skenes closed the public hearing.

Mr. Kirkman indicated he checked the website the day of the meeting and the information pertaining to the commissioners was their name and tenure of service. He confirmed their emails were not available on the city’s website. Chair Skenes asked what procedure was in place for resident wanting to contact commissioners. She asked if staff would give the email contacts to the residents. Mr. Kirkman confirm that should residents need to be in contact with the commissioners, staff would give them their email contacts. However, staff usually forwards email received from residents to the commissioners. Mr. Kirkman advised that the commissioners could follow up with email received from the resident. And if they wanted to give their telephone number for additioanl conversation they could at their discretion. Chair Skenes spoke about the incident of someone showing up at some of the commissioners’ home regarding one of the items on the agenda. She said it was unsettling for them, and the commission was seeking guidance from staff on how to handle such situation. She asked if would be appropriate not to engage with the resident.
