EASTERN CARY GATEWAY SPECIAL PLANNING AREA 8 Transit / Mul family Oriented Uses • This area is an opportunity for developing high density mul -family housing that can support future regional transit and create opportuni es for workers to live close to nearby employment uses. • The telecommunica ons towers located north of East Chatham could be relocated to building roo ops or to another more appropriate site. • First floor retail will ac vate the pedestrian realm and provide daily needs for residents and visitors. • Because this area encompasses established communi es, future planning and development should involve neighborhood residents. • Development in this area should have a range of mixed uses with a guarantee of significant room for residen al, yet flexible and responsive to the market. The following ranges provide a general guide for the mix of uses in this area: 50-70% Residen al, 10-30% Retail, 20-40% Office. • Height is envisioned as predominantly 6-7 stories, but could go higher using context sensi ve design approaches. • Historically significant buildings should be iden fied in the design process, and efforts to preserve these structures should be strongly considered. Planning for Transit Oriented Development This illustra on imagines what redevelopment could look like at the intersec on of NE Maynard Road and Chatham Street where a regional rail grade separa on and nearby rail stop may be located in the future. 129
