This petition requests the rezoning of 2.897 acres from OFC (Office Flex Campus) to IMU (Innovation Mixed-Use) to allow a broader mix of uses including light industrial, commercial, and moderate density residential. The rezoning aligns with the 2040 Policy Map recommendation for the Innovation Mixed-Use place type. The site is situated at the intersection of Nations Ford Road and Forest Point Boulevard, in an area characterized by a mix of residential, commercial, and institutional uses.
This decision supports the transition of historically industrial areas into mixed-use developments, promoting flexibility and adaptability in land use while enhancing economic growth in the area. The rezoning also allows for a broader mix of uses, contributing to the area’s innovation and economic diversity.
