The plan includes a pedestrian sidewalk system to maximize pedestrian access <br /> to all facilities on the site and to adjacent Habitat for Humanity Housing. The <br /> system will allow arrival by public transportation on Rodgers Road or by bicycle <br /> on the drives allowing access to all facilities on site without the use of the <br /> automobile. <br /> • Provide Quality Community Facilities and Services: <br /> The St Paul Plan includes a Wellness Center inclusive of a Gymnasium, a St. <br /> Paul/Rodgers Road Museum, a Teen Center, and a Senior Center. The St. Paul <br /> facilities will be utilized by all community residents. Sidewalks are planned to link <br /> all on site facilities. Parking spaces will be set aside for commuters and for <br /> alternative fuel vehicles to park and to board public transportation to their <br /> destination. <br /> The St. Paul Village project supports the Rodgers Road Small Area Plan Goals: <br /> • Development and Coordination of Water and Sewer Extension: <br /> Water is partially available in this portion of the Rodgers Road Community. <br /> St. Paul will extend sewer from the Habitat for Humanity site westward along <br /> Purefoy Drive to the St. Paul site. The sewer extension to the site will allow other <br /> residents in the Rodgers Road Community to access public sewer. <br /> • Provide Active and Passive Recreation: <br /> St. Paul will provide a Gymnasium, a Senior Center a Teen Center and an <br /> extensive network of sidewalks as part of a Wellness Center that can be utilized <br /> by the community. <br /> • E�ctension of Chapel Hill Transit along Rodgers Road: <br /> A bus shelter will be provided for St. Paul at Purefoy Drive and Rodgers Road. <br /> The St. Paul Community is pedestrian friendly with a network of sidewalks that will <br /> provide internal links to all St. Paul facilities. Sidewalks will be provided along <br /> both Rodgers Road and Purefoy Drive connecting to the St. Paul community. <br /> Our proposed rezoning to the R-5-C with Planned Development Mixed Use Zoning <br /> designation encourages a healthy density and frees a substantial portion of the site for <br /> open space that allows for relaxation and recreation. We believe this proposal meets <br /> those goals and provides the proper dimensions for healthy density in a unique property <br /> development. Thanks to this unique proposal, a substantial portion of the natural <br /> environment will be preserved. <br /> We have taken the Concept Plan through a CDC review session, a Rodgers Road <br /> Taskforce meeting, and all Town commissions to seek input into the plan. These sessions <br /> resulted in very few suggestion of change from the original concept. Members of the <br /> Town Council suggested the preservation of as many hardwood trees as possible. In <br /> addition, a suggestion was made to minimize parking and to accommodate <br /> alternatives to the automobile for internal circulation. St. Paul is committed to saving as <br /> many hardwoods as possible while introducing many needed services for community <br /> Statement of Zoning Atlas Amendment to R-5-C with Planned Development Mixed <br /> Use Zoning Designation for St. Paul Village <br /> St. Paul AME Church Community <br /> Chapel Hill, Norfh Carolina <br />
