"POLICY STATEMENT B. 9
Rezone residentialIv zoned properties on Williams Drive and Holly Road between Staples
Street and Everhart Road to a neighborhood commercial district consistent with street
traffic cartwing capacity and protection of the abutting residential neiahborhood.
The intensitv of neighborhood commercial uses on Willtams should be ~raduated from the high
commercial intensitv of Moore Plaza to the single-family residential uses of the GardendaIe
neighborhood, adjacent to Willtams Drive. In the conversion of residential to non-residential
uses alona WilIiams, primary consideration should be ~iven to maintainina traffic voiumes that
do not exceed safe operational standards.
Holly Road is a major arterial between Everhart and Staples and will carry a siclnificant
volume of traffic supportive of hiqher intensity uses. Anticipated office and commercial
development on Holly could neclatively impact those sinqle-family residences behind
Holly Road on Cain Street. Any commercial rezoninq should reduce the impact of
expected future development and protect and preserve the residential uses in the
Gardendale Neiqhborhood.
Destan objectives for a low intensity/neighborhood compatible commercial district are
summarized as/bllows:
· Limit the intensity of commercial land uses so as to control related traffic volumes and
maintain traffic flow on Holly and Williams Drives not to exceed LOS D standards.
· Allow office and commercial development on Willtams and Holly Roads. but prohibit those
land uses tvpicallv found in the B-4 zonin~ district which are most offensive to residential
properties.
· Create a unique mixed-use district compatible with adjacent residences by limitin~ allowable
uses to primarily prot~ssional ofi'ice, specialty retail and residential uses on Willtams Drive.
· Maintain a scale of development compatible with adioining residential uses by eraduatin~ the
allowable buildin~ height on Willtams and Itollv.
· Because of the large size of lots on Willtams and HoIlv, repiattin~ of multiple lots may occur
and result in various lot sizes throughout the district. Maintain minimum lot sizes and
frontaRes.
· Create an effective buffer between Gardendale residential uses and commercial or office uses
frontin~ Willtams and Holly by rcquirin~ additional rear yard setbacks, a screenin~ t~nce and
a rear yard tree canopy.
· Require all exterior li~htinsz fixtures to be directed away from residential propertiesY
