Fayetteville City Council approved a rezoning from Agricultural Residential to Community Commercial. The property is located at 0 Stoney Point Road and totals 9.77 acres. The property is owned by Margaret Ritter and represented by the applicant Mark Candler of Candler Development Group LLC.
Analysis by city staff:
* The proposed zoning district allows some uses in line with the Future Use Plan but also permits deviations from the outlined vision.
* Consideration should be given to the future extension/rerouting of Barefoot Road, merging with the anticipated completion of a new section and interchange of I-295.
* The possibility of establishing a true Neighborhood Mixed Use district along Barefoot Road is compromised by imminent changes in the land use pattern, especially with the future interchange.
* The Community Commercial zoning designation is deemed more appropriate for uses characteristic of Highway Commercial development than a Neighborhood Mixed Use designation.
* Planning is crucial to align with the impending development, and rezoning is seen as supporting a development pattern often associated with traditional outcomes in similar scenarios.
