The petition proposes the rezoning of 1.98 acres from B-1SCD (Shopping Center District, Conditional) to CAC-1(CD) (Community Activity Center-1, Conditional) to allow the development of up to 38 multi-family attached dwelling units. The site is currently developed with a surface parking lot, and the rezoning aligns with the 2040 Policy Map, which recommends a variety of uses, including retail, residential, and office spaces. The site provides vehicular access through a private street and pedestrian connectivity to the adjacent Carmel Commons Shopping Center.
This decision replaces an underutilized parking lot with much-needed housing in a rapidly developing area. The site is well-served by public transit and is adjacent to a major shopping center, promoting walkability and access to daily amenities.
