These are the applicable criteria, contained in Appendix C of City Plan. The Structure Plan currently designates` this parcel as Neighborhood Commercial Center, primarily based on the approved Rigderi Farm; Overall Development Plan''(ODP). B. Staf 'Aiialysii - Structure Plan Amendment Neighborhood Commercial Center The parcel is shown on the approved Rigden Farm ODP to be part of a larger grouping of proposed Neighborhood Commercial Center uses. The westerly 10 acres of that parcel has already developed as a neighborhood shopping center, with a supermarket as its anchor. There is still approximately 6 acres of land designated as Neighborhood Commercial Center between the shopping center and this property. APr Medium Density Mixed-Use(ei! b'co ood City Plan calls for this Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood to be co -located in conjunction with Neighborhood Commercial Center. This parcel, even if re -designated Medium Density Mixed - Use Neighborhood, would still be co -located with, and adjacent to, the Neighborhood Commercial Center immediately to the west. Also, this parcel is a part of a 5-acre block of land surrounded by streets on all four sides. The southerly 2 acres in this block are undeveloped and designated Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood. Loss of a small parcel of NC zoning Many of the permitted uses in the Neighborhood Commercial are also found in the Medium Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood District, and vice versa. Staff finds the 3 acres are not a significant loss of Neighborhood Commercial in this area _: :'• C. Rezoning Request y . The applicant initially filed a oning tion e City July 7,�2006.
