2. Maintain the residential character of the peninsula and limit non-residential activity to
designated areas.
ACTION: Apply the following recommendations to all land use decisions. Where appropriate,
utilize the Conditional Use zoning procedure to secure the desired results.
• Establish a mixed-use commercial node in the vicinity of Brawley School Road, Stutts Road
and Blume Road (Future Land Use Map, Area l). The node would be primarily residential
(approximately 800/o -901/o) while allowing enough area for a viable commercial component
close to the Blume/Brawley School intersection. This node is not intended to draw persons
from beyond the peninsula. Suitable commercial activities would include a small-scale
neighborhood shopping center to accommodate the needs of residents along the Brawley
School Road corridor. Development in this mixed-use district should promote road
interconnectivity, sidewalks and other pedestrian features, shared parking and connection
between adjacent establishments. Residential development in this area would be
encouraged to take advantage of the clustering and/or Planned Unit Development
provisions of the Iredell County Zoning Ordinance.
• Establish a mixed-use transitional area along Brawley School Road to the west of the
mixed-use commercial node (Area 2). This area should be primarily residential with
the addition of low -impact, transitional uses such as banks, offices, and institutional
uses. Development should follow the same standards as called for in Area I (e.g.,
sidewalks and pedestrian features, shared parking, etc.). Connectivity between the
two nodes should be required through the conditional use rezoning process if feasible.
• Slightly alter the existing commercial area in the vicinity of Brawley School and
Stutts Roads to include the lots identified as Area 3 on the future land use map. This
area, as well as the lots identified as Area 6 should include a variety of traditional
commercial uses.
• Expand the existing transitional area along Brawley School Road to include those lots
identified as Area 5 on the future land use map. This area, along with Areas 4 and 7,
should serve as a buffer between higher intensity uses, such as commercial, and lower
intensity uses, such as residential.
3. Apply an overlay district to the Brawley School Road corridor similar to the County's
current Roadway Protection Overlay District.
ACTION: Amend the current Roadway Protection Overlay or use it as a base for a separate
overlay district that would address the commercial, transitional and mixed-use portions of the
corridor. Incorporate the following additional elements:
• Design standards for commercial development along the corridor (i.e. building
orientation, connectivity with surrounding land uses landscaping, etc.)
• Street trees for commercial properties.
Interior landscaping for parking lots.
• Additional landscaping to separate non-residential and residential uses that are not
part of planned mixed-use developments.
• Regulations for sign materials.
4. Eliminate the existing commercial zoning at the Brawley School Road/Chuckwood Road
intersection (this area is shown as residential in the approved vested rights request from
Crescent Resources, the owner of the property).
ACTION: Amend the future land use map.
5. Eliminate the high-density development option (as it pertains to the WSIV-CA) for
commercial development along the corridor.
