INFORMATION: In April 2018, Ted Barnes, of Argus Development Group, LLC, submitted a revised application to rezone the Lloyd Farm property located at 700 Old Fayetteville Road from R-10 and B-4 to B-4, Conditional (B-4-CZ) for a mixed-use development (Attachment C). The proposal includes a grocery store and commercial outparcels with restaurant, retail and office uses, and a 55 and older residential component comprised of a multi-story apartment building and duplexes. Applications for text amendments to the Land Use Ordinance relating to the project have also been submitted and are being considered as a separate agenda item.
The subject property includes the two parcels located at the northeast corner of NC Hwy 54 and Old Fayetteville Road shown with diagonal hatching in the rezoning exhibit map provided in the staff memo (Attachment G). The parcels can be further identified by Orange County PIN numbers Lot 1 (PIN 9779-09-7922) and Lot 2 (PIN 9778-19-6618). Lot 2 currently falls within two different zoning classifications: R-10 and B-4. If approved, all of lots 1 and 2 would be rezoned to B-4-CZ and included in the subsequent application for a conditional use permit.
Two additional parcels fronting James Street were included in an earlier iteration of the project. Identified as Lot 3 (PIN 9779-10-7351) and Lot 4 (PIN 9779-20-0449) of the 2016 Lloyd Farm assemblage, the applicant agreed to a condition to dedicate both lots to the Town. The petition for rezoning and associated illustrative site plan have been revised accordingly, and the total acreage for the 2018 application (35.40 acres) is less than that of the previous application. The table below offers an “at a glance” summary.
