Looks like a very in depth report with a lot of input from the various parties concerned. But then again, I'm sure the slow/no growth element will all have their say, of course after the fact as usual!

 

1010/Cleveland Road has been identified by the County as a "Growth area" and this area specifically as a "Community Node" for growth of commercial properties and businesses. This was identified by the County at least a few years ago. Even though people buy houses in the area more recently without researching such things first, they will no doubt still complain when the County approves commercial development in the area.

 

Hooray!!! maybe they will build that grocery store.

 

It can't be too bad if the Lee's don't mind living next to it

 

Yippee, just what we need - another Food Lion.

 

as apposed to what

 

Here's a nice photo I was able to work up, sorry I am no Photoshop expert.

 

Thank you for getting this posted.

 

So where is the neighboring bait and tackle shop outlined in the link as a GB special use?

 

I am not sure. it says:
Surrounding Land Uses: Zoned AR and used for agricultural, residential, and recreational purposes. Zoned PUD for a Planned Development – Housing. Zoned NB and used for a photography and design studio. Zoned CB and used for daycare, gas station, and shopping center. Zoned GB-SUD and used for plant nursery and batting cages. Zoned I-1-SUD and used for contractors office and CB-SUD used for bait and tackle shop.

But I don't see a piece of land as CB-SUD on the map.

 

I was able to locate this on Google Maps though.

 

A fellow in Allen's Landing sold artificial bait out his garage 10-12 years ago.

 

It looks like there are 5 shops (2 on one side, 3 on the other) attached to the Food lion. But I can not make out what is on the other side of the parking lot (butting up to Cleveland School Road)

 

When are they going to start building the Food Lion??

 

So....does that make nearby property values go up or down?

 

property values have been going up and down since folks arrived.

 

Generally up if there is the potential to develop your property commercially. Otherwise flat or a slight decline if too close. A slight rise if the aminty is geared toward the general public, such as a grocery store, drug store, or medical facility that is now convenient but not next door.

 

There are 5 outparcels in the shopping center, and 5 possible small shops on the sides of the proposed Food Lion. Obviously they could be combined to be 1 shop on each side, or 2 on one side and 1 on the other, or any combination as such.
