Comprehensive Land Use Categories
Land Use Category: Community Commercial
Description of Land Use Category:
Community Commercial provides for offices, professional services, and retail uses of moderate intensity and impact. Examples of uses include a grocery store, a medical office, music store, shoe store, nursery, or mailing services store. Community Commercial should be located along arterials, preferably at intersections with other arterials or collectors. Community Commercial can serve as an appropriate buffer between low, medium, and high density residential uses, or between an arterial and low density residential.
Permitted Zoning Districts: NC, O-1, O-1.5, O-2, C-1, C-2, C-2P & C-3
Land Use Category: High Density Residential
Description of Land Use Category: High Density Residential Development includes multi-family developments with more than four units, such as apartment complexes, but can also include low density and medium density residential uses. This classification can include certain non-residential uses such as schools, places of worship, and parks that are centrally located for convenient neighborhood access. This form of development should be located along collectors, arterials, or highways, and can serve as a buffer between low or medium density residential land uses and commercial uses. High Density Residential uses should be appropriately buffered from adjacent residential uses through landscaping, screening and lighting controls. Additionally, it is encouraged that any new high density residential uses provide a majority of market rate valued housing.
Permitted Zoning Districts: R-5, R-4, R-3, PUD, RM-6, RM-5, RM-4, MF-18, MF-25, MF-33 & MF-40

STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION:
Staff and Planning Commission (7-0) recommend Approval.
The applicant seeks an amendment in order to rezone to “MF-33”. The Eastern Triangle Community Plan encourages residential development and diverse housing stock. The proposed “High Density Residential” is an appropriate transition from medium density residential to the commercial land use and interstate to the north. Further, the property has ample road and transit access to accommodate a dense residential population.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend denial of the proposed amendment to the Eastern Triangle Community Plan, as presented above.
2. Make an alternate recommendation.
3. Continue to a future date.
