Main Street Description: approximately 0.64 acres Request: Rezoning to N-MX from GR-2 The property owners are requesting for the above referenced parcel to be rezoned from GR-2, General Residential (2 units/acre) to N-MX, Neighborhood Mixed-Use. Mr. and Mrs. Knox have been operating a short term rental at this property. In June, letters were sent out to property owners who are operating short term rentals without a Lodging Conditional Use permit (or previous Bed & Breakfast Conditional Use Permit). These letters notified these property owners that they either needed to come into conformance or cease and desist operation of their short-term rentals within 30 days (letters were also sent back in 2020 to some of these same property owners). Mr. and Mrs. Knox do not reside at the property; therefore, with the current zoning of GR-2, which requires owner-occupancy, they do not meet the conditions to be approved. Understandably, they were very concerned because using this property as a short-term rental is a part of their retirement plan. With the recently approved changes to the conditions for short-term rentals in the N-MX zoning district, if the property was rezoned to N-MX, they would meet the new conditions to not have to be owner-occupied. This property is included in the Town’s ‘Mixed Residential’ area as identified within the Summerville: Our Town, Our Future Comprehensive Plan as well as on the accompanying Future Land Use Map, which includes detached and attached single-family uses with a typical density of 5-12 units per acre. However, this property is surrounded by civic uses: Bethany United Methodist Church property on the north side and rear and Azalea Park on the south side. The Hamilton Motel is across the street, and the property located to the north of the Hamilton Motel is already zoned N-MX. The N-MX zoning does also allow for mixed residential as a permitted use. Based on these findings the requested N-MX, Neighborhood Mixed-Use, zoning district is interpreted by staff to be in conformance with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and is recommended for approval.  E2 N D SO W U T 3R H D ST S O U TH ST SM A G N O LIA S T E 3R SM D S O AIN U TH ST ST SG U M ST W 5T H S O U TH ST R ezonin gtoN -MX R ezo nin gRe q u est G R-5 N -B Z onin g N -MX D -MX 2022 N -R D isclaimer:T hismapisagrap hicrep resentationo fdataob tainedfro m vario usso urces.

Summerville CPW is under contract to sell this property for development of a medical office facility, and the approval of the rezoning is a prerequisite of the sale. This property is included in the Town’s ‘Parks and Open Space’ area as identified within the Summerville: Our Town, Our Future Comprehensive Plan as well as on the accompanying Future Land Use Map, as it appears that the area was previously a pond. However, this property is no longer a pond and apparently hasn’t been since at least the early 90s. The Economic Development element of the Comprehensive Plan includes a goal to create a medical office campus in the Oakbrook neighborhood that connects Summerville Medical Center to all the surrounding ancillary facilities and foster further expansion of the healthcare industry in the Town. With this property’s close proximity to Summerville Medical Center, which is zoned G-B, this request would help work toward that goal. Based on these findings the requested G-B, General Business, zoning district is interpreted by staff to be in conformance with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and is recommended for approval. 2  H IGHB R ID G ER D D AVID CT T IC X E L M ARGA R E TDR T H E G R O V E A PA R D T M R E O N N S T S D LA B R U R D TON AV E M O R G A NP L H ART HP L A E D SH V NR F O A R DC N Y S E O IR W P IS K R R P U R IN B R D D N G A N R A H V LA V IE N W ID SO M K LN C JA R ezonin gtoG -B R ezo nin gRe q u est N -B P L Z onin g P U D G -B 2022 U C-M X D isclaimer:T hismapisagrap hicrep resentationo fdataob tainedfro m vario usso urces.
