Planning commission approves Brigham Road rezoning and PUD amid traffic and density objections
Summary
The Greensboro Planning & Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of linked rezoning and PUD requests for properties near Brigham and Atchison roads, despite opposition from a nearby owner who warned the development would overload roads and schools.
The Greensboro Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval on April 20 of a linked rezoning (CDRM-26) and planned unit development for roughly 41 acres near Brigham and Atchison roads, a package developers said is intended to provide new housing near job centers including the airport.
Nick Blackwood, speaking for the applicants, said the projects are designed to create contiguous developable parcels and illustrated how townhomes and multifamily buildings could be laid out. He told the commission the site’s proximity to Pleasant Ridge Road, West Market Street and the airport makes it suitable for higher-density housing tied to anticipated job growth, noting “the Jet 0 announcement estimated 14,500 jobs” and arguing the area’s transportation infrastructure was sufficient.
