The Housing and Neighborhood Revitalization goal states: "To provide an enhanced climate for home - ownership and new residents in the area." ANALYSIS - This amendment area is vacant and undeveloped. It is currently shown as Office, Multi Family and Park/Open Space on the Future Land Use plan. The application is coupled with a zoning application and a Master Street Plan amendment application. The applicant is proposing to abandon the proposed extension of Aldersgate Road, to rezone to a Planned Commercial Development and to change the Future Land Use to Mixed Use. The applicant intends to build a mixed development comprised of townhouses, commercial retail, and single family houses. This area of South Shackleford is currently undergoing a major transformation. The Shackleford Crossings Mall is in the final stages of construction and major street improvements are being made to this portion of South Shackleford Road. This area already has quite a large amount of Multi Family shown on the Plan for this area: soUth of 36th Street on the west side of Shackleford, along Aldersgate Road, and on the north side of 36th just east of Shackleford. Some of the multifamily has been built and while some areas are vacant. A change at this area to Mixed Use would allow for a blend of retail and residential with the guidance of a planned development. The PZD process would provide design review that could help preserve the character and integrity in relation to the surrounding developments. The neighborhood action plan for this area cites a need for new residential units and residents in the area, and the addition of a mixed development would help satisfy these needs.
