Cramerton reopens Market Street Small Area Plan amid development interest
Loading...
Summary
Staff presented a revisit of the 2019 Market Street Small Area Plan to address recent development requests; discussion covered walkable radii, thoroughfares, flood zones, and utilities needed for higher-density development and future annexation areas.
Assistant Town Manager Josh Watkins presented a revisit of the Market Street Small Area Plan (originally adopted in 2019) to the Board of Commissioners on June 1, citing recent development interest around the Market Street–Wilkinson Boulevard intersection.
Watkins reviewed the plan area and an illustrative master plan that highlights five- and ten-minute walking radii, the thoroughfare network, flood zones, gas-line locations, greenways and multimodal connections, and zoning concepts intended to update code to reflect the vision. Commissioner Helms asked how the plan would apply to potential development on the town's western edge; Watkins said the area in question is within a future annexation area and that utilities would be required before higher-density development could be supported.
The board indicated staff was on the right path and asked Watkins to return with additional, more detailed materials for future consideration. No formal action was taken at this meeting.
