Planning staff recommends denying rezoning request to RN5 on East Inskip Drive citing neighborhood transition and infrastructure concerns
Planning staff recommended denial of rezoning three parcels at the corner of East Inskip Drive and Scheele Road from RN1 single-family residential to RN5 general residential. A staff member (planning staff) told the agenda review that though the area around the parcels has seen mixed residential, office and small commercial development since the early 2000s, the 2011 Inskip Small Area Plan and a 2013 City Council resolution led to earlier downzoning efforts intended to align zoning with neighborhood character. The planner noted the NC11 Mixed Use Special District and the Inskip Small Area Plan emphasize neighborhood conservation and recommend densities of 1 to 12 dwelling units per acre, while the RN5 district permits higher densities—21 to 26 dwelling units per acre—appropriate as a transition between multifamily/commercial areas and lower-density neighborhoods.
