P25-30: A request to rezone 2211 Rosehill Road (0438470005000), consisting of 21.27 acres and owned by Cross Creek Refuse LLC, from Single Family Residential 6 (SF-6) to Mixed Residential 5 (MR-5). (Tabled from August 25 and October 27, 2025)

Summary

This item concerns a request to rezone approximately 21.27 acres at 2211 Rosehill Road from Single Family Residential 6 (SF-6) to Mixed Residential 5 (MR-5). The property is currently vacant and undeveloped. This rezoning request has been tabled twice previously. The applicant, Cross Creek Refuse LLC, argues that the MR-5 zoning is consistent with the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan's Future Land-Use Map, which designates the area for Medium-Density Residential development. They cite an acute housing shortage, increased demand due to Fort Bragg, ongoing infrastructure upgrades on Rosehill Road, and existing MR-5 precedents nearby as changed conditions warranting the amendment. The proposed MR-5 zoning would allow for denser housing types like duplexes and quadplexes, aiming to provide more attainable housing options without requiring new infrastructure. The application states that the rezoning will not create strip commercial development, isolated zoning districts, adverse impacts on property values, or significant adverse environmental impacts, particularly concerning a mapped wetland in the southwest corner.

Citizen Impact

This rezoning could lead to the development of more housing units, potentially including duplexes and quadplexes, on the 21.27-acre vacant lot at 2211 Rosehill Road. This may increase housing availability and affordability in the area, but could also impact neighborhood density and traffic patterns.
