Carrboro Downtown (CBD) - This is a linear zone extending from the <br /> Chapel Hill line westward to Carrboro Hall. The most intense <br /> commercial district in Carrboro, it is designed to accomodate a <br /> great variety of retail and office uses. Under the proposed Land <br /> Use Ordinance the Carrboro downtown will also include high density <br /> residential use. <br /> PROPOSED <br /> 1. Bolin Creek Collector Road (Neighborhood shopping) - A draft <br /> Collector Roads Plan, and the draft Residential Rezoning Plan <br /> for the Carrboro Planning District indicate a medium density <br /> residential neighborhood along Bolin Creek. A limited commercial <br /> center will be appropriate within this area. The commercial uses <br /> would be confined to neighborhood needs. <br /> 2. Intersection of NC 54 (Business) and NC 54 (By-Pass) (Neighborood <br /> Shopping) - Limited business uses which do not actively compete <br /> with the Carrboro downtown will be located at this major inter- <br /> section. A convenience store is currently at this location. <br /> 3. Smith Level Road and Culbreath Road (Neighborhood shoppirg) - A <br /> draft Residential Rezoning Proposal indicates a medium and high <br /> density zone to the west of Culbreath Road. This intersection <br /> is a reasonable location for neighborhood business and services. <br /> 4. Homestead (Neighborhood shopping) (This activity center is located <br /> on Homestead Road near Chapel Hill High School and corresponds with <br /> a County activity node.) - This neighborhood shopping area would <br /> provide goods and services for an area which is suitable for urban <br /> development. The development of this activity center is considered <br /> to be some time away. <br /> 1 <br /> Source: Memo from the Town of Carrboro Planning Department, August 22, 29 <br /> 187 <br />
