HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93010_0700ACTION Amend the subdivision ordinance to reflect this recommendation.
5. Investigate the possibility of connector roads at various locations on the peninsula to
facilitate connectivity between developments and limit the number of dead end roads, which
would assist in evacuation during an emergency event.
ACTION: Work with NCDOT and the Lake Norman RPO to determine appropriate
locations and explore the feasibility of connector roads.
6. Incorporate a park and ride facility into development along Brawley School Road to case
traffic along the corridor in the event that a transit station is developed in the Mooresville
area.
ACTION: Work with the Town of Mooresville and the Charlotte Area Transit System to
determine the best location for a park and ride facility.
LAND USE
GOAL: To maintain Brawley School Road's primarily residential character and to
accommodate neighborhood -oriented businesses at strategic and well-planned locations
along the corridor.
Most of the Brawley School Road area is currently residentially zoned with a density of one
house per 30,000 square feet (1.5 dwelling units per acre). In addition, the entire peninsula is
covered by Water Supply Watershed regulations requiring a minimum 50 -foot setback from
the 760' line and a maximum impervious surface coverage of 24-50% for commercial
development.
Given the large amount of development that has taken place over the past ten years and the
proposed development by Crescent Resources, there are relatively few areas left for
subdivisions and conducive for development. Rezoning pressures are therefore greatest
along Brawley School Road itself.
The Future Land Use Map details the recommended future land use patterns for the Brawley
School Road corridor. This map is intended to act as a specific parcel -by -parcel guide to
future land development along this corridor and to assist the Iredell County Planning Board
and the Board of County Commissioners with future land use decisions.
The land use classifications shown on the Future Land Use Map are explained in detail
below:
• Low Density Residential - This land use designation includes single-family
residential units with a minimum of 30,000 square foot lots.
• Commercial - Traditional retail land uses including those listed in the
Shopping Center, Neighborhood, Highway, Community, and General Business
designations in the zoning ordinance, as well as any service or office and
institutional uses.
• Transitional - These land uses should be considered as a "buffer" between a
higher intensity use, such as commercial, and a lower intensity use, such as
residential. The primary land uses included in the transitional designation
include residential, office, institutional, and services.
• Mixed -Use Commercial - A combination of residential, office, neighborhood
commercial, and shopping center uses.
• Mixed -Use Transitional - A combination of residential and office uses.
• Public/Infrastructure - These uses include schools, parks, and other uses
required for infrastructure needs in the area such as wastewater treatment
plants and water tanks.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Maintain the current minimum lot size requirement (30,000 sq. ft.)
