Applicant: Michael Dewey, Dewey Engineering
Owner: Tony Harris, Branch Creek Partners
Land Use Plan
Character
1. This area is comprised of mixed-use centers that include commercial, attached residential and institutional. Future development of the area will be likened to the established design concept.
2. The protection of environmental features is important to this area‘s unique community character. Of particular importance in this area are hillsides and hilltops. These features should be protected.
Land Use
1. Existing uses are predominantly high density, mixed use development, consisting of Attached and Detached Residential, Institutional, Neighborhood, and Local Retail and Office uses.
Development Form
1. This area should follow standards for the Mixed-Use Design Concept.
2. There are also many areas that are environmentally sensitive slopes which have been assigned the Conservation Design Concept.
3. The main portion of development in this area will occur on the west side of Franklin Road. The east side of Franklin Road offers less development opportunities due to steep slopes and floodway and floodway fringe overlays, but development adjacent to Franklin Road shall mirror the character of new development on the west side.
4. Development shall occur pursuant to a Master Plan. The Master Plan shall provide for a transition of land-use intensity south along Franklin Road to match the Rural Residential character of Franklin Road to the south.
Background/Staff Comments
The rezoning is required because the applicant is proposing a development plan revision which includes the commercial square footage on the site. The Land Use Plan supports the changes being made to the development plan, and accordingly, the rezoning. The accompanying development revision is also for consideration (COF# 6280).
