Attachment to Application for LC/SU rezoning Bigford Enterprises April 20, 2000 Bigford Rezoning request fi'om Office/Limited Commercial and Low Density Residential to Office/ Limited Commercial Special Use Introduction The proposed rezoning is of two parcels. The first parcel is 1.42 acres and is zoned Limited Commercial. Immediately behind it is a 7.23 acres tract that is currently zoned Low Density Residential. The request is to rezone the combined 8.65-acre tract to Limited Commercial/Special Use. By combining the properties together and limiting its future uses, the site can be better master planned by the developer and better controlled by the planning board and the planning department. The availability of public water and sewer to the land was not envisioned during the writing of either the current zoning or the existing small area plan. All of which form the basis for the rezoning request. Request, Site,. and Utilities Specifically, we are requesting the ability to develop the property to allow commercial/office uses on the Highway 24/27 frontage and a low-density 69-unit apartment community immediately behind the office uses. The site is currently vacant and undeveloped. Two small shallow ponds set on the back 7-acre tract. Public water is located along NC 24/27 and public sewer is planned as an extension both along NC 24/27 as well as thxough a draw into this property. Mr. Mark Fowler, Concord Wastewater Systems Manager, can provide the county with the details of this extension. When the zoning district was put in plaee for tho NC 24/27 eorfidor, it wa$ not envisioned tMt a lewer e~enlion would be able to extend along the road and might not be possible to even get to the crossroads of highways 601 and 24/27. It is the intention of the property owner to develop this property in a small cluster of housing with related commercial uses up front along NC 24/27. A bubble diagram concept plan is attached to reflect the concept. Basically, using one access point, Mr. Bigford will enter the site and have at minimum two perrnit~ed uses of the Office/Limited Comme~c, iai zoning district facing NC 24/27. The uses will be restricted down to an abbreviated list of uses from the current permitted uses. A common drive will then access into a small pod residential apartment community. This housing project site design will be driven by soil and topography constraints. And is currently expected to be a cul-de-sac de,sign and will include a future connection point to the northern properties (if and as desired by Cabarrus County professional staff'). The apartments are being designed to be complimentary in nature to the more rural character of the Midland area. Examples of the ~ont elevations are being provided. The buildings will be one and two-story buildings, with up to 12 units per building. The combined propexty will include a small car
