Proposed Future Land Use Designation and Zoning
Proposed Land Use Designation
This amendment proposes to change the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
designation on the subject property from Residential Preservation to Neighborhood
Boundary. The intent of this land use category is to create a transition area between
residential development and more intensive development such as multi-family and nonresidential
development, while still preserving roadway capacity through access management
practices. This category is limited to properties adjacent to existing and future residential
neighborhoods and on roads with high traffic volumes. For properties located at an
arterial/local, arterial/major collector, or arterial/minor collector intersection, non-residential
development must front the arterial road. The land development regulations also specify
specific vehicular access.
Allowable uses in areas designated NB include:
Low-density residential, including duplexes, townhomes, triplexes, and quadraplexes;
and
Non-residential development scaled to serve the surrounding neighborhood such as
limited retail, offices, bed and breakfast inns and community services. Auto-oriented
uses, such as gas stations or any other use having drive-through facilities, are not
allowed in order to protect neighborhoods from any negative impacts associated with
increased vehicular traffic.
The maximum density limit is eight (8) dwelling units per acre. Mandatory design standards
for new development, which are embedded in the NBO zoning regulations, are intended to
promote compatibility with adjacent residential development. These design standards address
roof styles, building scale, color, exterior building materials, front setbacks, architectural
style, buffering, landscaping, solid waste disposal, parking, lighting, and signs.
Proposed Zoning
The applicant has requested Neighborhood Boundary Office (NBO) zoning for the subject
properties. The Neighborhood Boundary Office (NBO) district is intended to be located in
areas designated as Neighborhood Boundary on the Future Land Use Map of the
Comprehensive Plan and shall apply to areas located on the edges of existing or planned
single-family attached and detached residential neighborhoods fronting arterial and collector
roadways.
The NBO district is intended to provide minor office opportunities serving the immediate
area and higher intensity residential land uses while providing a transition between the
residential development and more intensive development, and to preserve roadway capacity
through appropriate access management. The intent of these access management
requirements is to reduce access points along the roadway system, provide interconnectivity
