Application by  Ben Cerullo on behalf of  Crossridge Development LLC   to rezone parcels at and adjacent to 8574 Charlotte Highway: 1.79 acres (p/o 0010-00-059.00) and 1.31 acres (p/o 0010-00-016.02) from PDD-26 to  Regional Business (RB); ad 1.09 acres (p/o 0010-00-057.00) and 1.62 acres (p/o 0010-00-056.00) from Regional Business (RB) to PDD-26, to align zoning and parcel boundaries to the existing road network. 

The Staff Report is attached and the intent of this Ordinance is to adjust boundaries of parcels under current development to align zoning and parcel boundaries with the existing road network.

PDD-26 was formally approved by the Council in December 2008, with a Master Plan.  Approximately a year earlier, the Council approved the Development Agreement for the "City of Lights" now known as Crossridge, with a plan for parcel development.  These two plans did not originally contemplate the fully integrated site which has developed over time.  As the sites became more integrated, due primarily to common ownership, the road networks which exist today were constructed to help ensure a cohesive development site.

Overall, this action is an effort to simplify development requirements and plan review while also complying with existing regulations.  This essentially proposes a "swap" of zoning which will coincide with a lot line adjustment to align the zoning with the existing road network, and simplify the plan development and review process.

Discussion: 

During the public hearing for this item a citizen outlined concerns regarding the process for this case. 

Planning Commission unanimously recommends approval of the request to rezone. 

Staff also recommends approval.
