Z19-07 Application Package_July11_2019Riverside Rezoning
Project Narrative
Revised June 17, 2019
Location and Access:
The proposed rezoning site is located within the western portion of the Riverside
subdivision, which is located off Castle Hayne Road (N.C. Hwy. 133, N.C.S.R.
2812).
The proposed site is bordered to the North and West by residential lots zoned R-20,
and to the South by residential lots zoned R-15.
Description of Site:
The proposed site for rezoning currently consists of 102 (approved) Single Family
Lots, , with 2 Open Spaces on approximately 47.58 acres. Site is currently zoned R-
15 (single family).
The site is fully engineered (streets, water & sewer, drainage, erosion control,
stormwater) and is fully permitted.
The entire Riverside Subdivision was approved with 166 Single Family Lots, 72
Multi-Family Units, and 6 Open Spaces for a total of 238 units on 95.15 acres.
The required Recreation/Open Space required is 4.98 acres for Single Family and
2.16 acres for Multi-Family. The Recreation/Open Space proposed is 6.8 acres for
Single Family and 4.3 acres for Multi-Family.
Current Density is 2.5 units per acre.
Performance Residential maximum density allowed is 2.5 units per acre for R-15
Zone.
Rezoning:
The site is currently zoned R-15 (single family) and requested to be rezoned to R-10
(single family).
The rezoning proposal is to create more affordable housing with smaller floor plans
on smaller lots (50’ min.) while maintaining the existing designed & permitted
infrastructure.
The site is currently approved with 102 single family lots. The proposed rezoning
would get approximately 128 affordable single family lots without having any
infrastructure changes. (See attached map showing proposed lot changes).
The proposed density would be 2.7 units per acre.
Performance Residential maximum density allowed is 3.3 units per acre for R-10
Zone.
Infrastructure:
The infrastructure for the site is currently permitted. The rezoning of the site would
not require any changes to the current permits except a modification to the Storm
Water permit.
There are 2 Storm Water ponds on the overall site. Pond #1 is designed and permitted
to handle all of the run-off for the single family lots, and Pond #2 is designed and
permitted to handle all the run-off for the Food Lion and multi-family areas.
Pond #1 is currently permitted for 3,500 square feet of Built Upon Area per lot. The
rezoning and additional 26 lots would require a modification to the permit for 3,040
square feet of Built Upon Area per lot.
The current TIA requirements have been fulfilled, and the design of the traffic signal
on Castle Hayne Road has been approved.
