Read the motion as recorded
“Councilman Kapoor moved to approve the conditional zoning request for the project known as Julian Woods Retirement Community from Community Business I to Residential Expansion District Conditional zone and find that the request is consistent with the city’s adopted comprehensive plan, is reasonable and is in the public interest in that: (1) the existing Future Land Use category, Urban Corridor, is appropriate and supportive of this higher density residential use; (2) the project provides pedestrian connections along Long Shoals Road and Overlook Road Extension; and (3) the proposal is aligned with strategies found in the city’s comprehensive plan regarding activating the pedestrian experience, supporting the greenway network, siting uses along corridors that are supported by transit and locating residential density proximate to other commercial uses, contributing to a mixed-use corridor.”
