Site Amenities:
Laundry, online computer stations, community room, picnic and grill areas, playground and tot lot, outdoor
sitting areas (minimum of 3 areas) and a gazebo.
Onsite Activities:
We will work closely with local human service agencies to provide educational, social and health
preservation programs for the families living at this development. We plan to invite local service providers
and case managers to come on site and provide educational workshops for our residents. Residents will
have access to the internet and computers in our computer center. Management will supply refreshments
for these functions and coordinate services with the residents.Also, since the same owners own The Villas
at Forest Park senior community adjacent to this site, we plan to promote intergenerational activities
between the seniors at that complex and children at this complex and may start a Foster Grandparents
Program or Buddy Program.
Landscaping Plans:
Our landscaping plan will be creative as we hope to incorporate many different kinds of evergreens and
deciduous species trees and shrubbery around the buildings. Specific flowering type trees will also be
utilized to accent color, beauty, and texture, as will colorful perennials and accent flower beds. We will also
utilize, to the best of our ability, drought resistant plantings in order to minimize the use of water. We will
plan our landscaping in order to accenuate the master plan with the senior community and to incorporate
the natural wetlands features. The site will be beautiful.
Do you plan to submit additional market data (market study, etc.) that you want considered? Yes
If yes, please make sure to include the additional information in your pre-application packet.
NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS
Trend and direction of real estate development and area economic health. Physical condition of buildings and
improvements in the immediate vicinity. Concentration of affordable housing.
We are proposing to build a 56-unit family development in the town of Kannapolis. We are currently
developing a 64-unit senior apartment community on the site adjacent to ours called The Villas at Forest
Park. We have been working closely with the City in our site plan development. We are excited about the
Cabarrus County market as it is one of the fastest growing markets in North Carolina. Kannapolis has
limited upscale rental options and we are hopeful that this development will meet the growing needs of the
area. On S. Little Texas Road alone, there are three new market rate single family subdivisions and a new
elementary school in close proximity. The new Biotech Campus is close by and all of the major universities
are opening satellite campuses close by.
SURROUNDING LAND USES AND AMENITIES
Land use pattern is residential in character (single and multifamily housing). Extent that the location is
isolated. Effect of industrial, large-scale institutional or other incompatible uses, including but not limited to:
wastewater treatment facilities, high traffic corridors, junkyards, prisons, landfills, large swamps, distribution
facilities, frequently used railroad tracks, power transmission lines and towers, factories or similar operations,
sources of excessive noise, and sites with environmental concerns (such as odors or pollution). Amount and
character of vacant, undeveloped land. The surrounding land use pattern is residential in character with a mix
of single family as well as multi-family close by. The site is not isolated as it is located close to many services
and other amenities. There are no negative effects of industrial or incompatible uses close to the site as it is
located in a largely residential area. The topography presents a challenge but can be overcome as exhibited
by our development, The Villas at Forest Park, on the adjacent site.
SITE SUITABILITY
Adequate traffic safety controls (i.e. stop lights, speed limits, turn lanes). Burden on public facilities
(particularly roads). Access to mass transit (if applicable). Visibility of buildings and/or location of project sign
(s) in relation to traffic corridors. There are adequate traffic controls and there is no burden on the public
facilities for this project. Public transit is available in Kannapolis and bus stop is located within very close
proximity to the site.
Degree of on-site negative features and physical barriers that will impede project construction or adversely
affect future tenants; for example: power transmission lines and towers, flood hazards, steep slopes, large
boulders, ravines, year-round streams, wetlands, and other similar features (for adaptive re-use projects-
suitability for residential use and difficulties posed by the building(s), such as limited parking, environmental
problems or the need for excessive demolition).
There are no negative features on the site that will impede the construction or adversely affect the future
tenants.
For each applicable neighborhood feature, enter distance from project in miles.
