SP-23-03 — Mixed-Use (includes apartment buildings) in Garner, NC
This 48-acre mixed-use site plan for Timber Drive East requires a variance from perimeter buffer requirements between zoning districts, specifically seeking to reduce the 45-foot buffer (plus 10 feet of tree protection fencing) to accommodate 518 required parking spaces for apartment buildings. The variance was approved with a condition requiring a Type D opaque buffer, affecting the site's final site plan design near WakeMed's Whole-Person Health Campus within a larger 220-acre mixed-use development.
