The Proposed Rezoning
ZOM Living, proposes to rezone property totaling approximately 16 acres at the intersection of Chapel Hill and Trinity Roads in Cary, North Carolina. The rezoning proposal is a minor Planned Development District (PDD), intended to house a mix of residential and commercial uses. Currently, the proposal is for 375 apartment units, five-stories (60 ft.) tall, along with 2000-5000 sq. ft. of retail space. The proposed rezoning would have major impacts on anyone living in the area of Chapel Hill Road, Trinity Road, Trenton Road, and Reedy Creek Road. Additionally, the proposed rezoning would impact everyone who travels through this area and who frequents the area for recreation.
Potential Impacts
Traffic and increased accidents at 54/Trinity Road, increased traffic (600+ cars!) ingressing and egressing right near the intersection
Quality of Life for existing homes (noise, crime, light pollution, natural area destruction, crowding, loss of natural spaces to relax, cars and traffic inside neighborhoods)
Environmental Impacts including too much impervious surface creating runoff directly to streams and Reedy Creek. Wildlife loss of habitat. Clear-cutting existing natural buffer for stream
