Background/Staff Comments
The site is currently zoned General Commercial (GC) District. The proposed zoning is Specific Development- Variety (SD-X 14.61/350,000/200). The accompanying development plan is COF #6276 and is being considered as part of the January 26, 2017 FMPC agenda, as well. The land use plan places these parcels in the McEwen Character Area, Special Area 4, and supports the uses proposed with this rezoning.
MCEWEN CHARACTER AREA, SPECIAL AREA 4
1. A mixture of Attached and Detached Residential and Neighborhood or Local Retail uses is recommended, either in separate structures (proximate mixed uses) or with multiple uses in the same building on different floors (vertical mixed uses).
2. Retail uses, mid-rise commercial and hotels should be of higher intensity adjacent to I-65 and transition to less intensive uses further away from the interstate.
3. Local Retail may be located as a transitional land use between the Regional Retail and surrounding residential neighborhoods.
4. Attached Residential is also appropriate as a transition to residential uses to the east.
5. All ―big box‖ retail shall be located west of I-65.
