10. Rezoning Petition: 2015-037 by Dominick Ristaino
Location: Approximately 0.46 acres located on the north side of West Boulevard between South Tryon
Street and Wickford Place. (Council District 3 - Mayfield)
Current Zoning: R-5 (HD-O) (single family residential, historic district overlay)
Proposed Zoning: UR-C (CD) (HD-O) (urban residential - commercial, conditional, historic district
overlay)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition as modified.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee.
Statement of Consistency:
§ The Zoning Committee found this petition to be inconsistent with the Central District Plan, based on
information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The plan recommends retail uses on the subject property.
§ However, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information
from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The subject property is located at the edge of the historic Wilmore neighborhood which is primarily
developed with single family homes. The site also abuts commercial property fronting on West
Boulevard and located outside of the historic district; and
§ Maintaining the existing historic structure and constructing a similar building on the rest of the site
will help to maintain the integrity of the Wilmore historic district; and
§ The use of the property for office and residential uses will provide a transition between the more
intense commercial uses on South Tryon Street and the single family housing in the Wilmore
neighborhood; and
§ While the request is technically inconsistent with the retail use recommended in the district plan,
the office and residential uses proposed are less intense than the retail use but are still appropriate
for this site.

11. Rezoning Petition: 2015-106 by The Gold District of
Charlotte, Inc.
Location: The petition proposes to modify transit supportive (TS) overlay district regulations related to
uses, maximum height, parking standards, screening requirements, change of use exceptions, and
administrative alterations.
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee.
Statement of Consistency:
§ The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the Centers, Corridors and Wedges
Growth Framework and the General Development Policies/Transit Station Area Principles;
§ As the goals for Growth Corridors are increased intensity and a more pedestrian form of
development, with the greatest intensity development in Transit Station Areas.
§ Therefore, they found this petition be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information from
the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The proposed modifications strengthen and support the purpose of the Transit Supportive (TS)
Overlay District to create a set of additional standards designed to accommodate the continued
existence and minor expansion of existing uses while transitioning to a more compact, high
intensity, transit supportive mix of uses at a lesser intensity than traditional transit oriented
development including:
§ Modifying permitted use standards, change of use requirements and administrative procedures to
further support the reuse of existing buildings as part of the transition to a transit supportive form
and intensity; and
§ Clarifying and adjusting parking and screening standards to ensure consistency with overall code
and simplify interpretation; and
§ Adjusting maximum height standards to support current needs and requirements for multi-story,
mixed use buildings.

§ The development of mixed use communities along I-485 that integrate a mix of commercial,
employment, residential, and community uses; and
§ The development of lower intensity residential uses in the watershed overlay area along the
Catawba River.
§ A commitment to urban design and development standards that ensure the development of a
pedestrian oriented, mixed-use community; and

Staff Recommendation:

Statement of Consistency:
§ The Zoning Committee found the residential use consistent with the University City Area Plan, but the
proposed density to be inconsistent with the plan. Further the Zoning Committee found the residential
use proposed for the portion of the site that fronts Sandburg Avenue to be consistent with the
Northeast District Plan, but the proposed density to be inconsistent with the General Development
Policies, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The University Area Plan recommends residential use for the site.
§ The University Area Plan recommends a density of 22 dwelling units per acre.
§ The Northeast District Plan recommends residential use for the portion of the site that fronts
Sandburg Avenue.
§ The General Development Policies (GDP’s) only support a density up to 17 units per acre.
§ However, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information
from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The nature of the area has changed such that some of the recommendations in the area plan are
no longer applicable; and
§ There is a need for this type of housing in the vicinity of UNCC.

§ The proposed reuse of the existing two-story building, which is located at the back of sidewalk,
preserves one of the buildings in the business district; and
§ The retail and office uses that would be allowed by MUDD (mixed use development) zoning could
provide opportunities for goods and services to the residents of the Plaza Midwood neighborhood;
and
§ A future phase of the Gold Line streetcar facility is proposed to run along Central Avenue in front of
this site, which will provide alternative modes of transportation.

15. Rezoning Petition: 2016-113 by ZOM Development
Location: Approximately 2.679 acres located on the east side of Barclay Downs Drive between Carnegie
Boulevard and Bulfinch Road. (Council District 6 - Smith)
Current Zoning: O-1 (office)
Proposed Zoning: MUDD-O (mixed use development, optional)
Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition as modified.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee.
Statement of Consistency:
§ The Zoning Committee found the multi-family portion of the request consistent with the SouthPark
Small Area Plan, which recommends adding multi-family residential development to areas zoned for
office and retail. However, the committee found the retail component inconsistent with the SouthPark
Small Area Plan based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The South Park Area Plan recommends office or an office-residential mixture of uses on the subject
property.
§ However, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information
from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The vision articulated in the SouthPark Small Area Plan calls for the SouthPark area to transition
from a suburban shopping and business environment to a town center composed of a balanced
mixture of land uses; and
§ The Centers, Corridors and Wedges Growth Framework identifies SouthPark as a Mixed Use Activity
Center, a priority area for growth and development in a compact, pedestrian-oriented form; and
§ The proposed retail uses are not strictly consistent with the mapped uses specified in the
SouthPark Small Area Plan. However, they are consistent with policy text in the plan that
encourages true mixed-use buildings with high density residential uses mixed with non-residential
uses; and
§ Since the plan was adopted in 2000, other sites recommended by the plan for office use have been
rezoned and/or redeveloped for residential, retail, and mixed-use. This reflects a recent emphasis
on a more thorough mixing of uses than was prevalent when the plan was written; and
§ The petition provides for pedestrian improvements at intersections and along Barclay Downs Drive.
It also provides pedestrian access to retail spaces that are easily accessed from ground level. This
will enhance the pedestrian environment by providing active, ground floor uses oriented to the
public sidewalk consistent with the recommendations of the SouthPark Small Area Plan; and
§ The Urban Land Institute recently completed an Advisory Services Panel Report of the SouthPark
area. This document has not been adopted by the City Council; however, it does contain
recommendations for the area including a multi-use path (loop) of eight to 15 feet in width and a
minimum of ten to 15 feet where there is outdoor dining and connections between people and
places. The site plan preserves the 15-foot planting strip, provides a 12-foot wide sidewalk, public
gathering spaces, and ground level retail uses along Barclay Downs Drive.

Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition as modified.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee.
Statement of Consistency:
§ The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the Dixie-Berryhill Strategic Plan,
based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The petition is consistent with the adopted retail land use for this site, as amended by rezoning
petition 2013-001.
§ Therefore, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information
from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The subject properties are outparcels to the Charlotte Premium Outlet mall approved by rezoning
petition 2013-001; and
§ The proposed modifications to the uses will eliminate a gas station/convenience store, add a
second hotel, and add an accessory drive-through window for a retail use or
eating/drinking/entertainment establishment (EDEE); and
§ There will be no increase in the allowed retail square footage and the only additional square
footage will be related to the 125-room hotel; and
§ The proposed uses, in combination with the Outlet Mall, will continue to provide employment
opportunities and service retail for area residents and destination retail for the region; and
§ The proposed changes do not alter the overall intent of the adopted retail land use for the site.

Current Zoning: R-3 (single family residential) and UR-2(CD) (urban residential, conditional)

Zoning Committee Recommendation:
The Zoning Committee voted 6-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition as modified.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee.
Statement of Consistency:
§ The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the Northeast District Plan, based on
information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ This petition is consistent with the residential use and density up to 17 dwelling units per acre.
§ Therefore, this petition was found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on information
from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because:
§ The subject property is situated between a shopping center on the east side of Sugar Creek Road,
a school to the west and single family residential to the north; and
§ The rezoning will allow the property to continue to be used as a transition between the more
intense retail and the school and single family uses; and
§ The petition seeks to decrease the number of mutli-family units from 145 to 144 and proposes a
new development form with better access and improved design; and
§ The development will provide a 40-foot buffer from single family residential and a 15-foot
landscape area along the common property line with the school; and
§ The site plan provides architectural standards for the proposed units that address porches, stoops,
roof pitch, building materials, and blank walls on corner/end units.
