Cramerton reviews Market Street small-area plan and Lakewood property vision; staff to return with details
Summary
Planning staff presented updates to the Market Street Small Area Plan and a conceptual vision for the Lakewood property, including walking radii, flood-zone and utility considerations and potential interest from Carolina Serves for a racquet sports development; commissioners asked clarifying questions and requested further refinement.
Assistant Town Manager Josh Watkins presented a review of the Market Street Small Area Plan and a visioning update for the Lakewood property during the June 29 Board of Commissioners meeting.
On the Market Street plan, Watkins reviewed the plan area and an illustrative master plan that includes five- and ten-minute walking radii, a proposed thoroughfare network, flood-zone constraints, gas lines, greenways and multimodal connections, zoning concepts and a potential code update to implement the vision. Commissioners asked how the plan would apply to potential future annexation areas to the west and requested clarification that utilities would be required to support higher-density development.
On the Lakewood property, Watkins presented development concepts and examples from other projects as possible inspirations. Mayor Nelson Wills noted interest from Carolina Serves in a racquet sports development for the site. Commissioners generally indicated staff were on the right path and directed planning staff to return with further developed concepts and implementation details.
Staff will refine the Small Area Plan materials and provide more detailed proposals to the board at a later meeting for further review and potential policy or zoning action.
