Note: Only uses permitted in the corresponding General Use District are eligible for consideration within a Conditional Zoning District. River Birch Investments, LLC is requesting the property, including parcels R07100-003-046-000, R07100-003-568-000, and R07100-003-567-000, be rezoned to from R-15 to Residential Moderate-High Density (R-5) District for a forty (40) lot, single family residential use of the property to provide a necessary missing middle housing opportunity. The R-5 district allows a range of housing types and can be developed in conjunction with a non-residential district to create a vertical mixed-use development pattern as well as serve as a transition between mixed-use or commercial development and low to moderate density residential development. The project is proposed on three tracts of mostly vacant land with one residence. The proposed project is an infill site currently surrounded by developed properties of single family and a church and conveniently located between two commercial centers with the Pine Valley library and shopping to the north and Monkey Junction to the south. The Future Land Use Map identifies this site as General Residential. General Residential focuses on lower density housing ranging up to approximately 8 units per acre and typically consisting of single-family or duplexes. The proposed project is for single-family residential at under 8 units per acre which aligns with the properties’ classifications on the 2016 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map. We will amentize the pond by placing walking trails and a dog park adjacent therefore having the pond be a vital part of our active open space. The proposed project will plant street tress in addition to other landscape amenities to enhance the visual appeal of the neighborhood. The project will have access via of the public right of way of Jasmine Cove Way and a WAVE transit stop is conveniently located at the intersection of Jasmine Cove Way and College Road. There are no wetlands or waters of the US present within the boundaries of the project parcels. Water and sewer are available to the property line of the project site. 4. Proposed Condition(s) Note: Within a Conditional Zoning District, additional conditions and requirements which represent greater restrictions on the development and use of the property than the corresponding general use district regulations may be added. These conditions may assist in mitigating the impacts the proposed development may have on the surrounding community. Please list any conditions proposed to be placed on the Conditional Zoning District below. Staff, the Planning Board, and Board of Commissioners may propose additional conditions during the review process. We will amentize the pond by placing walking trails and a dog park adjacent therefore having the pond be a vital part of our active open space. 6. Conditional Zoning District Considerations 1. How would the requested change be consistent with the County’s policies for growth and development, as described in the 2016 Comprehensive Plan, applicable small area plans, etc. The proposed project is currently classified General Residential on the Future Land Use Map and boarded by General Residential and Community Mixed Use. General Residential focuses on lower density housing ranging up to approximately 8 units per acre and typically consisting of single-family or duplexes. The proposed project is for single-family residential at under 8 units per acre which aligns with the properties’ classifications on the 2016 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map. The single family residential would assist with the County’s Strategic Plan Objective of enhancing the self-sufficiency of individuals and families and Goal XV of providing a range of housing types, opportunities, and choices. This project will provide a safe and conveniently located community and provides another housing type near the employment centers as it is located between two commercial centers with the Pine Valley library and shopping to the north and Monkey Junction to the south. 2. How would the requested Conditional Zoning district be consistent with the property’s classification on the 2016 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map. The proposed project is currently zoned General Residential and boarded by general residential and community mixed use. General Residential focuses on lower density housing ranging up to approximately 8 units per acre typically consisting of single family or duplexes. The proposed project is for single-family residential at under 8 units per acre which aligns with the properties’ classifications on the 2016 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map. 3. What significant neighborhood changes have occurred to make the original zoning inappropriate, or how is the land involved unsuitable for the uses permitted under the existing zoning? The project site is boarded on the north by Jasmine Cove, a townhome community, Cedar Cove Assisted Living Facility, and the Wilmington Shrine Club; to the east by religious institutions and the Wilmington Shrine Club, the south by a religious institution; and to the south and west by single family residential. The surrounding properties have not been developed in the typical R- 15 purpose of very low to low density residential development and the R-5 zoning with single family lots would be a proper transition to the surrounding uses. The R-5 district allows a range of housing types and can be developed in conjunction with a non-residential district to create a vertical mixed-use development pattern as well as serve as a transition between mixed-use or commercial development and low to moderate density residential development. Due to the unique dimension of this tract, the proximity to College Road, the proximity to transit and services, this site lends itself to meet the purpose of the R-5 zoning district.
