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.
