This petition requests the rezoning of 1.53 acres from ML-2 (Manufacturing & Logistics – 2) to NC(CD) (Neighborhood Center, conditional) to facilitate a shift away from industrial uses towards more neighborhood-friendly commercial and residential uses. The area, located along W. 28th Street and N. Church Street, is part of the North Tryon Corridor of Opportunity, an area designated for revitalization. The petition supports pedestrian-friendly development by prohibiting auto-centric uses and committing to sidewalk improvements.
This decision promotes a more balanced mix of uses in a historically industrial area, aligning with the city's goals for creating more prosperous and safe communities. It supports the city's vision for the North Tryon Corridor as a hub of renewed commercial and mixed-use developments.
