(Council District 4 - Phipps) Current Zoning: R-3 (single family, residential), RE-1 (research), and RE-3(CD) (research, conditional) Proposed Zoning: MUDD-O (mixed use development, optional) and R-12MF(CD) (multi -family residential, conditional), with five-year vested rights. Zoning Committee Recommendation: The Zoning Committee voted 7-0 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition. Staff Recommendation: Staff agrees with the recommendation of the Zoning Committee. Statement of Consistency: · The Zoning Committee finds a portion of the site consistent with the Northeast Area Plan and a portion of the site inconsistent with the adopted plan, based on the information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: · The portion of the site proposed for a mix of commercial uses is consistent with the Northeast Area Plan recommendation for office/research/retail uses. However, the portion of the site proposed for multi-family use is inconsistent with the Northeast Area Plan recommendation for office/research/retail uses and residential use up to four dwelling units per acre. · However, this petition is found to be reasonable and in the public interest, based on the information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: · The subject property is located in an I-85 interchange area which was identified in the Northeast District Plan (which preceded the Northeast Area Plan) for an expansion of research uses outside of the University Research Park; and · The Northeast Area Plan updated that land use recommendation to include a range of commercial uses (office/research/ retail), along with a recommendation for improved connectivity in the area and an integrated site plan; and the proposed development has been designed to provide the integrated and interconnected development recommended by the plan. Commercial development, consistent with the plan, is proposed for the part of the site closest to West Mallard Creek Church Road; and · Multi-family development is requested for the remainder of the site, instead of the non-residential uses identified by the plan. The addition of multi-family results in a mix of uses, instead of more isolated commercial development; and · The requested development has been designed to respond to the transportation context by placing the most auto-oriented uses which will require high levels of vehicular access, specifically the outparcels and large EDEE (eating/drinking/ entertainment establishment) closest to the interstate interchange; and · The site plan provides a transition from the auto-oriented area to a walkable commercial street which will connect to the multi-family development in the northern portion of the site; and · The area that the plan recommends for single family development is proposed to be used for a 75 -foot buffer area abutting existing single family homes, and a segment of the public street which will connect Mallard Creek Church Road and Galloway Road; and City of Charlotte Page 8 Printed on 7/14/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda July 17, 2017 · In addition to the new street connecting to Galloway Road, the proposed development will provide a number of transportation improvements. These include reservation of right-of-way for a future east-west crossing of I-85 at Galloway Road, and a new signalized intersection to create site access and set up for a potential new connection in the adjacent University Research Park. 2016-139_reco_5-30-2017_final.pdf 2016-139 vicinity map.pdf 2016-139 rezoning map revised.pdf 2016-139_RevSitePlan_06-15-2017.pdf 11.

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 Park Woodlawn Area Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: · The Plan recommends residential uses up to 12 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 proposed development is across the street from the Park Road/Woodlawn Road Activity Center; and · The increased density proposed for the subject site will result in more residents living within walking distance of the Activity Center; and · The proposed development will also provide a transition between the more intensely developed Activity Center and the established single family residential development located north and east of the site; and · The development has been designed to be compatible with the adjacent single family residential by limiting the maximum building height of the attached dwelling units to 40 feet, which is the height allowed for the single family homes; and · The proposed development also includes an eight-foot planting strip and six-foot sidewalk which will improve both safety and the pedestrian experience for this site. 2017-053_reco_06-29-2017final.pdf 2017-053 vicinity map.pdf 2017-053 rezoning map.pdf 2017-053_RevSitePlan_06-26-2017.pdf City of Charlotte Page 9 Printed on 7/14/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda July 17, 2017 12.

The site abuts the Renaissance Golf Course; and · The proposed multi-family use is consistent with the adopted land use for the site as amended by rezoning petition 2007-082, which updated the Southwest District Plan recommendation to allow residential, office and/or retail development; and · Multi-family development on this site is consistent with the existing residential development that has occurred recently as part of the City Park development and will add more housing options, especially for employees in the Coliseum area which is predominately office and light industrial; and · Multi-family and elderly housing on this site would also complement the adjacent County golf course and proposed greenway. 2017-076_reco_06-29-2017-final_TK.pdf 2017-076 vicinity map.pdf 2017-076 rezoning map revised.pdf 2017-076_RevSitePlan_07-10-2017.pdf City of Charlotte Page 10 Printed on 7/14/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda July 17, 2017 13.

(Council District 1 - Kinsey) Current Zoning: R-5 (single family residential) Proposed Zoning: UR-2(CD) (urban residential, conditional) Zoning Committee Recommendation: The Zoning Committee voted 5-1 to recommend APPROVAL of this petition. Staff Recommendation: Staff agrees with the recommendation of the majority of the Zoning Committee. Statement of Consistency: · The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the Blue Line Extension Transit Station Area Plan, but inconsistent with the specifically recommended low density (up to six units per acre) for the subject properties based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: · The plan recommends residential uses up to six 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 properties are located on the south side of Faison Avenue amidst single family detached homes, duplex units, and vacant lots. · The proposed duplex units will provide new housing on vacant lots to complement the existing duplex and detached single family units on Faison Avenue. · While the proposed density is greater than the specific density recommended by the adopted plan, the plan does state that moderate density residential development can be supported if designed to be consistent with the community design section of the plan. · The proposed development adheres to community design policies of the adopted plan by orienting buildings to the street, locating parking to the rear of the buildings, and providing porches and stoops similar to surrounding single family dwellings. 2017-68_ZC_Reco_062917_final_TK.pdf 2017-068 vicinity map.pdf 2017-068 rezoning map.pdf 2017-68 REV site plan_ 063017.pdf City of Charlotte Page 11 Printed on 7/14/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda July 17, 2017 14.

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 Charlotte Center City 2020 Vision Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: · While the plan does not make a specific land use recommendation for the site, it encourages the preservation and enhancement of Center City neighborhoods. · 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 site is located on a short street in Third Ward that is primarily developed with single family homes. However, there are multi-family buildings at the intersection of Irwin Avenue and Margaret Brown Street, and on other nearby streets in this part of Third Ward; and · The subject site is appropriate for higher density residential as it is located on a corner lot across from Frazier Neighborhood Park and is located in an urban neighborhood with a range of housing types; and · The development has been designed to complement the single family homes along Margaret Brown Street: · The proposed 14-foot setback along Margaret Brown Street is consistent with the setback for the existing single family homes along the street; and · The proposed development incorporates architectural details such as porches and fenestration that are compatible with the established single family neighborhood; and · The proposed 40-foot height is the base height allowed for single family development; and · In addition, the proposed development will improve the pedestrian experience by providing an eight-foot planting strip and six-foot sidewalk. 2016-126_reco_06-29-2017 _Final_TK.pdf 2016-126 vicinity map.pdf 2016-126 rezoning map.pdf 2016-126_RevSitePlan_06-29-2017.pdf City of Charlotte Page 12 Printed on 7/14/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda July 17, 2017 15.

Statement of Consistency: · The Zoning Committee found this petition to be consistent with the South End Transit Station Area Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: · The plan recommends transit supportive uses for the subject site. · 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 site is within a ¼ walk of the Bland Street Transit Station on the LYNX Blue Line, and the proposal allows a site previously used for industrial/warehouse purposes to convert to transit supportive land uses appropriate for this location; and · The 170-foot building height optional request is 50 feet greater in height than what is allowed by the ordinance standards; and · However, the extra height request is proposed on the side of the building that is furthest away from the Wilmore Neighborhood; and the additional height will not have a negative impact on the Wilmore neighborhood, which is separated from this site by commercial development; and · In addition, the petition includes a central plaza which will be accessible from South Tryon Street; ground floor active uses on South Tryon Street, Winona Street and West Bland Street; and sidewalk/streetscape improvements on all streets.

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 majority of this petition is consistent with the Dixie Berryhill Strategic Plan recommendation for office/warehouse uses. However, the portion of the property that is located in the FEMA Floodplain is recommended for park/open space. · 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: · This area of Wilkinson Boulevard is developed primarily with warehouse and industrial uses, and a portion of the subject site is already developed with two warehouse/office buildings; and · The rezoning petition retains the use restrictions from the previous rezoning, specifically permitting industrial and warehouse uses which are appropriate at this location; and · However, the request reconfigures vacant development sites, removes notes limiting the maximum warehouse/distribution square footage, and removes a note that a call center will not be considered warehouse or distribution space; and · These changes are minor in nature and will not have a negative impact on adjacent properties; and · The request is consistent with the office/warehouse recommendation from the adopted plan for the majority of the property. The land use recommendation for park/open space is for the portion of the site within the FEMA floodplain, and pertinent floodplain regulations will still apply to the site. 2017-061_reco_06-29-2017-final_TK.pdf 2017-061 vicinity map.pdf 2017-061 rezoning map.pdf 2017-061_RevSitePlan_06-26-2017.pdf City of Charlotte Page 14 Printed on 7/14/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda July 17, 2017 17.

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 Central District Plan and consistent for increase in density with the General Development Policies, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: · The plan recommends low density residential uses for the subject site. · 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 adjacent to and across from single family homes along Wickford Place and is located within the Wilmore Historic District; and · The proposed development will add three additional homes, for a total of four homes on individual lots, along Wickford Place; and · The proposed residential density of 11.4 dwelling units per acre provides a transition between the moderate density along Worthington Avenue and the low density along West Boulevard; and · The proposed setback matches the setback of the previous building and is compatible with other setbacks along Wickford Place; and · The proposed development improves the site with a planting strip and sidewalk which will improve the pedestrian experience. 2017-066_reco_06-29-2017 - final - TK - For John.pdf 2017-066 vicinity map.pdf 2017-066 rezoning map.pdf 2017-066_RevSitePlan_06-30-2017.pdf City of Charlotte Page 15 Printed on 7/14/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda July 17, 2017 18. Rezoning Petition: 2017-055 by Duke Energy Location: Approximately 5.28 acres located on the west side of Toddville Road and the south side of Craig Street, north of Macon Street. (Council District 3 - Mayfield) Current Zoning: R-3 LLWPA (single family residential, Lower Lake Wylie watershed overlay, protected area) Proposed Zoning: I-2 LLWPA (general industrial, Lower Lake Wylie watershed overlay, protected area) 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 inconsistent with the Northwest District Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: · The petition is inconsistent with the Northwest District Plan recommendation for single family residential land uses, at up to four dwelling 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 subject site is located between industrially zoned land and a small single family neighborhood; and · The existing R-3 (single family residential) zoning currently provides a transition to the neighborhood; however, it is not required to include landscaping; and · Rezoning the property to I-2 (general industrial) will allow a small area for the expansion of industrial uses along the south boundary of the site; and · In addition, the rezoning will result in the establishment of an ordinance required buffer along Craig Street. The buffer will protect the neighborhood by separating and partially blocking the view between the industrial use and the single family homes. 2017-055_reco_06-29-17_final_TK.pdf 2017-055 vicinity map revised.pdf 2017-055 rezoning map revised 2.pdf City of Charlotte Page 16 Printed on 7/14/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda July 17, 2017 19.

(Council District 3 - Mayfield) Current Zoning: B-2 (HD-O) (general business, historic district overlay) and I-1 (HD-O) (light industrial, historic district overlay) Proposed Zoning: B-2 TS (HD-O) (general business, transit supportive overlay, historic district overlay) and I-1 (HD-O) (light industrial, transit supportive overlay, historic district overlay) 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 South End Transit Area Plan, and several areas to be inconsistent with the Central District Area Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: · The plan recommends transit supportive uses for a majority the subject sites. The remainder of the properties are recommended for industrial uses. · 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 proposal will add the TS (transit supportive overlay) to the base zoning for the sites included in this petition. The base zoning for these sites is currently business (B-2) or industrial (I-1 or I-2); and · The proposed overlay will accommodate the continued existence and some expansion of businesses located on the subject sites; and · In addition, the overlay district will allow reuse and redevelopment of the subject properties, and most of the uses in the base zoning districts will be permitted; and · While the application of TS (transit supportive overlay) will make only minimal changes to the uses that will be allowed on these sites, TS will change the form of new development; and · The TS district will ensure that future development is designed to be more transit supportive, by applying pedestrian oriented site design standards to the underlying business and industrial zoning districts; and · This will allow the gradual transition of the area to an urban transit supportive district, which is appropriate for an area located close to two rapid transit stations and the Uptown area; and · It should be noted that the area plan recommends residential uses at up to eight units per acre for the one lot on Westwood, but the property has been used for non-residential purposes since the 1990’s. This petition will allow the continuation of a non-residential use. 2017-073_reco_06-29-2017lh_TK - Final.pdf 2017-073 vicinity map.pdf 2017-073 rezoning map revised.pdf City of Charlotte Page 17 Printed on 7/14/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda July 17, 2017 20.

Statement of Consistency: · The Zoning Committee found this petition to be inconsistent with the Dixie Berryhill Strategic Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: · The petition is inconsistent with the single family residential land use recommendation for this site as per the Dixie Berryhill Strategic Plan. · 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 Dixie Berryhill Strategic Plan recommends single family residential at up to four dwelling units per acre for the subject property; and · While the proposed use is not residential, it will allow the reuse of a small lot that is situated between a recreation vehicle sales facility and Interstate 85; and · The size and location of the site limits the intensity and impact of the development on the residential properties in the immediate area and therefore eliminates the need for a conditional site plan. 2017-078_reco_06-29-17_final-TK.pdf 2017-078 vicinity map.pdf 2017-078 rezoning map.pdf City of Charlotte Page 18 Printed on 7/14/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda July 17, 2017 21.

(Council District 3 - Mayfield) Current Zoning: I-2 (general industrial) Proposed Zoning: TOD-M (transit oriented development - mixed use) 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 New Bern Transit Station Area Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: · The plan recommends transit supportive uses for the subject site. · 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 site is within a quarter mile walk of the New Bern Transit Station on the LYNX Blue Line; and · The proposal allows a site previously used for industrial/office to convert to transit supportive land uses; and · Use of conventional TOD-M (transit oriented development - mixed-use) zoning applies standards and regulations to create the desired form and intensity of transit supportive development, and a conditional rezoning is not necessary; and · TOD (transit oriented development) standards include requirements for appropriate streetscape treatment, building setbacks, street-facing building walls, entrances, and screening. 2017-082_Reco_06-29-2017_final-TK.pdf 2017-082 vicinity map.pdf 2017-082 rezoning map.pdf City of Charlotte Page 19 Printed on 7/14/2017 City Council Zoning Meeting Zoning Agenda July 17, 2017 22.

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 Northlake Area Plan, based on information from the staff analysis and the public hearing, and because: · The plan recommends office/warehouse land use uses for the subject site. · 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 adopted land use calls for office/warehouse uses, as allowed in the proposed I-1 industrial zoning district; and · The site and surrounding area are already developed as light industrial uses allowed under the BP zoning district; and · The I-1 district will allow uses such as auto sales that are not permitted in the BP (business park) district; and · The site backs up to I-485, with no residential uses in close proximity; and · Rezoning petition 2017-063, a request to rezone the property which is adjacent to this site from BP (business park) to I-1 (light industrial), was also recommended for approval in May 2017. 2017-084_reco_06-29-17_final_TK - final.pdf 2017-084 vicinity map.pdf 2017-084 rezoning map.pdf ZONING HEARINGS 23.
