Land Use 3-11-2025

Rezoning:

2025-004 for 720 E. Morehead completed the first review and revisions are required. The height remains an issue given the Neighborhood Center appropriate height of the adjacent buildings. The access points relative to E. Morehead are also a concern given the addition of 1100+ units at the Euclid/E. Morehead intersection in the past 5 years. No time frame for community meetings at this point.

Land Development:

LDCP-2024-00014 1401 East Blvd. Suncap's project at the corner of East Blvd and Scott Ave has been approved.

Update 4-17: An RTAP (revision to approved plan) was filed on 4/17.

 

Land Use 2-10-2025

No change in status for rezonings, HDC applications or Land development projects listed below for January 2025 other than:

2025-004 for 720 E. Morehead is going through review; the height of 150' remains an issue given that it is twice the height of the Neighborhood Center zoned buildings on either side.

HDC application HDCCMA-2023-00991 for 927 East Blvd was approved in Dec. 2024. Tree removal and replacement was required in order to move the building addition closer to the street. Click here for details.

Radius Dilworth (615 E Morehead) is required to install a concrete median and pedestrian crossing at E. Morehead and Myrtle Ave. in May to comply with their approved land development plans.

Suncap 2022-037

Public hearing for single Starbucks parcel was 4-17 and project will likely proceed by right with NC translation upon UDO adoption on June 1. One concern is that the mindset seems to be that adhering to max building height will likely be the exception rather than the rule along East Blvd, particularly near the intense commercial area near Kenilworth and Scott, with the standard being max height plus bonus of 80'. Max building height along East Blvd should actually be 65' to retain the character of that area.
