begun development, and vacant property. North of the property along Poplar Tent Road is a residential development that has just begun to be developed along with another industrial/business park (the rezoning of this property will be reviewed in this analysis). On the west side of the rezoning is the Beech Bluff subdivision, rural residential uses, and vacant land. Finally to the south is more rural residential and vacant land. The zoning of the area surrounding this petition is mixed between Concord and County zoning and residential and non-residential zoning. On the east side, the subdivisions are zoned Medium Density Residential (MDR) and the industrial park and vacant land have industrial zoning. The land to the north is Limited Industrial Special Use and High Density Residential Special Use. The western side is completely MDR and to the south Limited Industrial (LI). ¢~ atfached maps) The larger area around this rezoning is a mix of existing, developing and planned uses. The major existing uses to east and north include the Vulcan rock quarry, the Concord Regional Airport, a non-unified industrial area along Ivey Cline Road and the subdivisions mentioned earlier. On the north there are the existing residential developments of Poplar Trails and Cox Mill. Developing uses include a day care being constructed in the industrial park to the east, and a residential subdivision to the north. Planned uses in the surrounding area are the Concord Mills mall on Kings Grant Boulevard, and industrial users within the park developing to the north. The general context of the parcels included in the petition are non-residential uses to the east and residential/vacant land to the wesL The development and zoning trends in this area follow that general contexL Recent rezonings and development proposals to the east have bccn to change from residential to industrial or commercial. This almost certainly is the result of the airport and the Kings Grant interchange combined with Kings Grant/Speedway Boulevard. There has been less activity to the west, but what has occurred has l~."cn residential. Looking at that larger area surrounding these properties there has been scattered residential a small subdivision, and the first development of Highland Creek into Cabarras County. The best example of what has been and is occurring throughout this area is the rezoning and subsequent development at Poplar Tent and Odell School Roads. The petitioner for that property, Crosland Commercial was faced with similar conditions of residential land on the west of their property and industrial land on the easL Their proposal reflected that situation by having a 64 acre residential component abutting the existing residential development to the west and an 88 acre industrial park on the east abutting the existing industrial uses. Thus far, the residential development has begun construction and four parcels have been divided out of the industrial park for non-residential development.
