(F-6) Cabarrus/South Rowan MPO Highway 73 ,Study Mr. Mike Nunn, Executive Director of the Cabarrus/South Rowan Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), presented the North Carolina Highway 73 Corridor Study developed by the MPO to address planning issues along the corridor from Concord to the Cabarrus County/Mecklenburg County line. The recommendations of the Study were as follows: · Cabarrus County should be encouraged to adopt the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Adoption by the County will facilitate the comprehensive implementation of this plan or the County can adopt this Plan as a policy for the NC 73 corridor. · Develop collector streets and service roads to reduce access points on NC 73. · The City of Concord, Cabarrus County, and the City of Kannapolis should adopt a unified overlay district for their jurisdictions along NC 73. · Amend the Cabarrus-South Rowan MPO's Long-Range Transportation Plan and Thoroughfare Plan to make NC 73 a four-lane divided highway with a 120-foot right of way. A 1,500-foot minimum spacing distance should be applied to NC 73 for future median opening locations and intersections. · The Cabarrus-South Rowan MPO shall coordinate with the Mecklenburg- Union MPO on the amended cross section for NC 73. · Encourage the use of park and ride facilities and transit routes/service within the NC 73 corridor. In conclusion, Mr. Nunn asked the Board to adopt the study with the key element being the right of way change to 120-feet and with the Unified Development Ordinance item deleted.
