Staff Recommendation

DENY C-4 (Highway & Arterial Commercial) zoning.
RECOMMEND that City Council APPROVE C-6 (General Commercial Park) zoning, subject to 1 condition:

---

1. An administrative development plan must be submitted and approved by MPC. This plan will be subject to all applicable C-6 requirements, including required landscaping, screening and setback requirements. The plan must be submitted to MPC by the end of January 2015 and all site improvements required per the development plan must be installed prior to May 2015.

With the above recommended conditions, C-6 zoning is an appropriate zone for the continuance of the existing land use on the property, but will require some site improvements that will enhance the overall appearance of the site. C-6 zoning is compatible with the scale and intensity of surrounding development and zoning pattern. This section of Asheville Hwy. east of Rutledge Pike, does not include C-4 zoning, with the exception of a small portion of the Kroger parking lot to the southwest, which is currently not used for any C-4 specific uses.
