The petition proposes the rezoning of 0.776 acres from TOD-TR (Transit-Oriented Development – Transition) to CG(CD) (General Commercial, Conditional) to allow the development of a financial institution with a drive-through. The site is located at the intersection of South Boulevard and Starmount Cove Lane, near the Arrowood Lynx Blue Line station. Although the site is currently zoned TOD, its lack of direct pedestrian access to transit stations limits its walkability. The site plan includes provisions for an 8-foot planting strip and sidewalk along both street frontages to improve pedestrian safety.
This decision provides a financial institution with enhanced pedestrian infrastructure in an area that faces challenges with direct walkability to transit. The project addresses both vehicular and pedestrian needs, supporting the nearby residential and commercial uses.
