General co.mmercial may border the o.ther less intense <br />co.mmercial zo.nes o.r either o.f the two. industrial zo.nes. A general <br />co.mmercial zone may border a higher density residential zo.ne, but care <br />sho.uld be taken to. assure a buffer between the two.. <br /> <br />Ratio.nale. This district is intended to. provide the principallo.cation fo.r <br />large scale co.mmercial development in Cabarrus Co.unty. <br /> <br />APF Co.mments: <br /> <br />Schools: No. impact because propo.sed zo.nes are no.t residential in <br />nature. <br /> <br />Utilities: WSACC does no.t o.wn or o.perate any existing water lines in <br />the area. It is currently granting flo.w acceptance to. projects that <br />. discharge wastewater in the intercepto.r serving this area o.n a first <br />co.me, first served basis. <br /> <br />The City o.fKannapo.lis agrees to. take o.ver water lines when their lines <br />are extended to. the property if the develo.per were to. build a <br />community system that meets the City's specificatio.ns. Per the <br />Co.unty Engineer, sewer lines wo.uld have to. be extended <br />approximately 7000 linear feet to. reach the subject property. <br />Approximate cost o.fwater service to. area is between $5-$8 millio.n. <br />There is no. schedule at this time for extensio.n o.f these lines (see <br />attached). <br /> <br />Emergency Services: No. co.mments were received from Sheriff o.r <br />Emergency Management. <br /> <br />Co.nfo.rmity with Land <br />Use Plan: <br /> <br />The subject property lies within the No.rthwest Plan Area. In the <br />No.rthwestem Small Area Plan o.f 1990, the subject property is <br />designated fo.r develo.pment under MDR (Medium Density <br />Residential) zoning. The area at the intersectio.n o.f Davidso.n Ro.ad <br />and Mo.o.resville Highway is designated fo.r o.ffice/co.mmercial <br />develo.pment. The future land use map sho.ws a small circle o.f <br />o.ffice/co.mmercial surro.unding the intersectio.n, with the remainder o.f <br />. the subject property as medium density residential. <br /> <br />The updated versio.n o.fthe No.rthwestem Area Plan reco.mmends the <br />subject property be develo.ped for Mixed Use. This draft plan was <br />used fo.r guidance in the 2005 zo.ning update that led to. the current 0/1 <br />(Office/lnstitutio.nal) zo.ning designatio.n. Altho.ugh in draft fo.rm, the <br />mixed use area text calls fo.r a mix o.f at least three different revenue- <br />, producing uses that can be residential, commercial, and o.ffice in <br />nature. Develo.pment o.f this property sho.uld be part o.f an integrated <br /> <br />G--S <br />
