Staff Recommendation

1. Within the areas depicted on the attached map as non-disturbance areas, no clearing or grading shall occur, with the exception of kudzu removal, if desired.

With the recommended condition, this site is appropriate to be developed under RP-2 zoning at up to 30 du/ac. The property is currently zoned C-4, which could lead to extensive clearing and grading of the steeper portions of the site for any number of commercial uses, with no review required by MPC. The recommended rezoning will prevent further, unnecessary commercial development in the area, prevent the clearing and grading of the hillside, and allow compatible infill development at an appropriate location.
