PUBLIC FACILITIES
Fire Service:
The Clover Hill Fire Station, Company Number 7, and Manchester Volunteer Rescue Squad
currently provide fire protection and emergency medical service (EMS). This request will
have a minimal impact fire and EMS.
Transportation:
The property is located on the south side of Hull Street Road (Route 360) between
Otterdale Road and Hampton Park: Drive. The applicant is requesting rezoning to
Community Business (C-3). Based on shopping center trip rates, development of the
property could generate approximately 5,200 average daily trips. Some of these trips
would be distributed to Route 360, which had a 2006 traffic count of 19,824 vehicles per
day and was function at Level of Service B.
The Thoroughfare Plan identifies Route 360 as a major arterial with a recommended
right-of-way width of 120 to 200 feet. The applicant has proffered to dedicate 100 feet of
right-of-way adjacent to the property in accordance with this Plan. (Proffered Condition

turns in/out by the existing median. (Proffered Condition 3)

construct an additional lane of pavement along Route 360 for the entire property frontage
and a separate right turn lane at the site access, based on Transportation Department

LAND USE
Comprehensive Plan:
Lies within the boundaries of the Upper Swift Creek: Plan which suggests the property is
appropriate for a mixture of community-scale corporate office and commercial uses. The
Plan is currently under consideration for amendment. The proposed Plan amendment, as
recommended by staff, also suggests community mixed use.

07SN0219-]UN27 - BOS
Area Development Trends:
The area is currently characterized by a mix of agricultural, commercial and industrial
zoning and is occupied by single-family residential uses or remains vacant. While the area
surrounding the request property is zoned Light Industrial (I-I) with Conditional Use
Planned Development, the zoning allows a variety of commercial uses as well as industrial
uses.
Development Standards:
Currently the property lies within an Emerging Growth District. The purpose of the
Emerging Growth District Standards is to promote high quality, well-designed projects.
These standards address access, parking, landscaping, setback:s, building height, signs,
buffers, pedestrian access, lighting, utilities and screening of dumpsters, loading areas and
outside storage. Development must comply with these standards.
Architectural Treatment:
The property also lies within the Route 360 Corridor West District which addresses
architectural treatment. Within those areas designated for Community Mixed Use on the
Plan, the theme of a project must establish a clearly identifiable architectural style,
incorporate elements which break: up the mass of large buildings and provide a pedestrian
scale environment between the parlcing and the buildings.
In addition, at the time of site plan review, the architectural standards will require
compatibility with any existing buildings within the same project, within the same block: or
across Route 360, as determined by the Director of Planning.
CONCLUSION
The proposed zoning and land uses conform to the existing Upper Swift Creek: Plan which
suggests the property is appropriate for community mixed use uses. Appropriate uses include
community-scale commercial and corporate office uses. The proposed zoning and land uses are
representative of, and compatible with, existing and anticipated area development.
In addition, as noted, an amendment to the Plan is pending. The draft Plan, recommended by
staff also recommends community mixed uses.
Given these considerations, approval of this request is recommended.
