What's on this agenda

Knightdale's board of adjustment heard one case on August 25: a request to let a building sit farther back from the road and put its parking out front, on a vacant 1.57-acre lot at 202 Hinton Oaks Boulevard. Smith Anderson Law Firm applied on behalf of the owner, Woodhaven Knightdale, LLC. The lot is the first parcel of the Midtown Commons development, rezoned to Highway Business Conditional District in 2007.

The rules the applicant wants relief from exist for a specific reason, which staff spelled out in the report. Knightdale's ordinance pushes commercial buildings toward the street and parking to the rear, to keep parking lots off the sidewalk edge and hold down stormwater runoff and surface heat. The town's comprehensive plan puts this parcel in a transit-oriented development target area on a bus rapid transit corridor. The applicant offered conditions that would cap the setbacks once the project is built and occupied.

    Woodhaven Knightdale LLC seeks three UDO variances for its 1.57-acre lot at 202 Hinton Oaks Boulevard in Midtown Commons: a larger front yard setback, and permission to put parking in the front yard and in front of the building's main facade, citing restrictive covenants and a gas utility easement that otherwise leave the site undevelopable.
