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.
