Request by Cindee Wolf with Design Solutions, applicant, on behalf of 626 Retail Development, LLC,
contract purchaser from Black Knight 24, LLC, property owner, to rezone approximately 1.24 acres
located at the 100 block of Greenview Drive from (CZD) B-1, Neighborhood Business to a new (CZD) B-
1 district for the use of general retail, offices for professional businesses, and other limited uses.
1. This is a public hearing. We will hear a presentation from staff. Then the applicant and any
opponents will each be allowed 15 minutes for their presentation and an additional 5
minutes for rebuttal.
2. Conduct Hearing, as follows:
a. Staff presentation

4. Board discussion
5. Before we proceed with the vote, I would like to invite the applicant to the podium. Based
on the Board discussion and items presented during the public hearing, would you like
withdraw your petition or proceed with a vote?
6. Vote on the application. The motion should include a statement saying how the change is,
or is not, consistent with the land use plan and why approval or denial of the rezoning
request is reasonable and in the public interest.
Example Motion for Approval
I move to APPROVE the proposed rezoning. I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes
and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the project is in line with the use and density
for the Community Mixed Use place type. I also find APPROVAL of the rezoning request is
reasonable and in the public interest because the project helps foster a business-friendly
environment that promotes growth, agility, and collaboration.
Proposed Conditions:
1. All existing trees located within required buffer yards must be preserved and
supplemented as necessary in order to provide a fully opaque screen. In addition, a six-
foot-tall solid fence must be installed along the rear buffer yard.
2. Flashing, animated, and digital signs shall be prohibited on the property.
3. A sign indicating that Oak Ridge Lane is a private road shall be installed along the right-
of-way of Oak Ridge Lane, west of the proposed driveway access to the subject site.
4. The proposed rezoning’s principal uses shall be limited to:
a. Banks and/or Financial Institutions,
b. Business Service Center,
c. Offices for Private business & Professional Activities,
d. Instructional Services & Studios,
e. Personals Services, General (no tattoo Parlors permitted), and
f. Retail Sales, General
5. An agreement in place for shared maintenance and parking between car wash and office
building.
6. The applicant must provide cross access easements for the carwash to access Greenview
Drive through both driveway locations.
7. The project will have a stormwater management agreement for the shared underground
stormwater, or the project will be required to obtain permits for a separate underground
stormwater system. Any aboveground stormwater system would constitute a substantial
deviation to the approved plan and require review and approval through a rezoning.
8. The back façade of the commercial building facing Greenview Drive must be aesthetically
similar to the faces of the building. The building façade along Market Street shall
incorporate a minimum of one building entrance and form-giving elements, such as entry
overhangs and periodic transitions in wall offsets, materials and/or fenestration. Any
pads for HVAC equipment shall be screened from the street view by low fencing and/or
landscaping.
Alternative Motion for Denial
I move to DENY the proposed rezoning. While I find it to be CONSISTENT with the purposes
and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because the project is in line with the density and
housing type recommendations for the Community Mixed Use place type, I find DENIAL of
the rezoning request is reasonable and in the public interest because the project is not
consistent with the desired character of the surrounding community and will adversely
impact the adjacent neighborhood.
Alternative Motion for Approval/Denial:
I move to [Approve/Deny] of the proposed rezoning to a (CZD) B-1 district. I find it to be
[Consistent/Inconsistent] with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan because
