<br />family detached units and 30 attached single-family units. The two
<br />parcels designated on the plan as Parcel K and Parcel J show a total of
<br />20,000 SF. Parcel L, the corporate headquarters site, shows 60,000 SF.
<br />The remaining parcels, designated as "future office/corporate facility"
<br />and "future commercial" on the plan, show a total of 245,000 SF. The
<br />overall square footage for the project is 488,417 SF.

<br />· According to the intent statement for the general commercial district, GC
<br />zoning may border a higher density residential district, but care should be
<br />taken to assure a buffer between the two. A/O zoning is the least dense
<br />zoning district that the Ordinance offers. The subject property includes
<br />one side where the property directly abuts A/O zoning (Forest Pine
<br />Subdivision). If approved, however, this particular area will be zoned MDR-
<br />CD. The majority of the subject property is bounded by existing roads with
<br />A/O zoning located across the road, thus creating a natural buffer between
<br />the subj ect property and the A/O zoning. Where the subj ect property is
<br />directly adjacent to the A/O zoning designation, the plan shows a 50'
<br />buffer. Where the subject property abuts O/I zoning, the applicant is
<br />showing the appropriate landscape buffers as required by the Cabarrus County
<br />Zoning Ordinance.
<br />· The primary purpose of the Medium Density Residential district is to permit
<br />development with a moderately high density community character. Residential
<br />development options for this zone include a variety of housing types,
<br />including townhouses. The proposed project includes approximately 30
<br />single-family attached units and 12 single-family detached units. A density
<br />of 3 units per acre, or approximately 47 units, would be permitted on the
<br />part of the subject property designated as residential. As shown, 42 units
<br />or a density of 2.69 is currently proposed.
<br />· Amenity Subdivision standards require an open space dedication of 50%.
<br />The site plan shows a dedication of 7.82 acres (approximately 50%) of open
<br />space provided as part of the residential component of the plan.
<br />· Architectural elevations were submitted as part of the application as
<br />required. Fenestration calculations were also submitted as required. It
<br />appears that the elevations meet the requirements established in the
<br />Commercial Design Standards, however, the applicant will be required to
<br />submit individual site plans and full architectural elevations for each site
<br />to the Zoning Services Division for administrative site plan review and
<br />approval. Once the site plan and elevations are approved by Staff, the
<br />Planning and Zoning Board, sitting as Design Review Committee, will provide
<br />the final site plan and architectural approval.
<br />· Per the Cabarrus County Zoning Ordinance, government water and sewer are
<br />required for MDR zoned amenity subdivisions. Therefore, the residential
<br />component of the project cannot develop until government utilities are
<br />available to the site.
<br />· Since the Conditional District is a flexible district, intent statements
<br />have not been established for individual conditional districts. The Board
<br />must decide if the general intent statements, together with the proposed
<br />project specific uses, site plans and proposed conditions, support
<br />rezoning the subject property.
<br />
<br />Recommendation: Both the proposed and adopted future land use plans support
<br />approval of the proposed rezoning. The Board should weigh all the facts and
<br />information provided and render a decision accordingly. Should the Board of
<br />Commissioners decide to approve Petition 2006-06 (R-CD), Staff requests that
<br />the following conditions be applied to the approval:
