INFORMATION: The Town has been working closely with Renaissance Planning and the Town of Chapel Hill to develop text amendments to the Land Use Ordinance (LUO) that would implement in part the vision outlined in the 2016 Mapping Our Community's Future report for the Historic Rogers Road neighborhood. (A copy of the report may be found at the following link: http://www.townofcarrboro.org/DocumentCenter/View/5936/Mapping-Our-Communitys-Future-Report.)
A draft ordinance has been prepared (Attachments B and C) which, if adopted, would define and establish development requirements for two new districts with provisions for higher density (i.e. up to three lots per acre in the residential district and approximately five lots per acre in the mixed use district), expanded home occupation choices, and a mixed use area with opportunities for flex space and office uses. The draft ordinance would also create a new residential use category for a triplex (a single building containing three dwelling units) for use in the neighborhood.
At the February 19, 2019 Board of Aldermen meeting, the Board received a presentation from Renaissance Planning on the collaborative effort, the series of drop-in neighborhood meetings held to gather input on the potential zoning concepts, and the elements of the draft ordinance provisions.
