LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
The subject property is located within the boundaries of the Upper Swift Creek Plan
Amendment which suggests the property is appropriate for community mixed use.
Community scale commercial uses, including shopping centers, service and office uses
that serve community-wide trade areas are included in the community mixed use
category.
Area Development Trends:
The area is characterized by office and commercial development along the Hull Street Road
corridor, with residential development as you move north and south off of the corridor.
Commercial uses are expected to continue in this area, as suggested by the Plan.
Zoning History:
On September 27, 1989, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation
from the Planning Commission, approved commercial zoning on the request property
(Case 89SN0179). There was a limitation on what commercial uses were permitted with
the approval of Case 89SN0179, reflecting the former Plan land use designation of office
uses.
On August 28, 1991, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from
the Planning Commission, approved an amendment to Case 89SN0179 to permit radio,
television and other home entertainment sales and service, in addition to already
permitted (Case 91SN0224). The Plan land use designation had just been changed to
recommend mixed use corridor land uses.
On February 25, 2004, the Board of Supervisors, upon a favorable recommendation from
the Planning Commission, approved an amendment to Case 89SN0179 to permit
furniture sales in addition to already permitted uses, and to remove the restriction on the
size of tenant spaces. (Case 04SN0181)

Current Proposal:
With this request the applicant wishes to remove the use restriction imposed with the
original zoning and have the full complement of uses allowed in a Neighborhood Business
(C-2) District.
Development Standards:
Currently, the property lies within an Emerging Growth District area. The purpose of
Emerging Growth District standards is to promote high quality, well-designed projects. The
Zoning Ordinance specifically addresses access, landscaping, architectural treatment,
setbacks, parking, signs, buffers, utilities and screening of developments within these areas.
If this request is approved, these standards would apply.
CONCLUSION
The proposed land uses conform to the Upper Swift Creek Plan Amendment which suggests the
property is appropriate for community mixed use. In addition, the proposed land uses are
representative of and compatible with existing and anticipated area development.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
