Title
Rezoning Petition: 2017-055 by Duke Energy
Body
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.
