| SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS OR CONCERNS: |
Planning Staff has evaluated the proposed rezoning request submitted by M. Michael Kendall for the three contiguous parcels located at the northeast corner of N. Hill Street and Lexington Avenue, addressed as 836, 834 and 0 N. Hill Street. Staff reviewed the request for its compatibility with the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the Comprehensive Plan and the North Hill Street Redevelopment Study, 2008. The applicant’s request is not compatible with the FLUM, which has identified the three parcels for residential land use. The applicant’s rezoning request to NBD, if approved by the Board of Commissioners, will permit the properties to be used for a convenience store. Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval with conditions.
Staff recommends approval with the following conditions:
Access to the properties be limited to Kentucky Avenue
Sidewalks shall be five (5) feet in width along Kentucky Avenue and N. Hill Street frontage with a five (5) feet landscape strip between the edge of the right-of-way and new sidewalk.
The applicant adhere to, as applicable, the Commercial Character Standards from the North Hill Street Redevelopment Plan.
