The applicant submitted staff with a request to amend a portion of the application to
Neighborhood Commercial. The Neighborhood Commercial (NC) category includes limited
small-scale commercial development in close proximity to a neighborhood, providing goods and
services to that neighborhood market area. The portion proposed for Neighborhood Commercial
would be some 14 acres of the almost 35 acres in the application. The location is at the
southeast corner of the Chenal Valley Drive – Chenal Parkway intersection. Neighborhood
Commercial uses are intend to be smaller and supporting of near-by residential areas. The
area to be shown for Neighborhood Commercial is at the entrance from Chenal Parkway to
several residential neighborhoods to the north and east.
The Neighborhood Commercial area would be between the areas to remain Office (O) and the
Commercial (C) area at the northwest corner of Chenal Parkway and Rahling Road. This would
provide a further layer of intensity ‘drop down’ from the single-family subdivisions to the north
and the commercial node that the Chenal Parkway – Rahling Road intersection. Staff believes
this added area of intensity change would be appropriate and beneficial to the neighborhoods to
the north.
