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.
South and west of I-485, the Steele Creek Road and York Road/S. Tryon Street corridors have been the
focus of significant residential and commercial development over the past five years. The single-family
communities are now largely established and are supported by ample, diverse shopping, services, and
grocery. New retail, flex medical, and office space continues to deliver and draw tenants east of Steele
Creek Road, along Brown-Grier Road.
Adjacent to our site is the recently constructed, Class-A Alta Steele Creek Apartments. Just north of the site
is a tax-credit community of reasonable appearance, Landing at Steele Creek, which appears to be the only
affordable multifamily housing in the area.
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. Most of the commercial and retail is concentrated along the York
Road/S. Tryon Street corridor. Turning west off York Road, the transition to more residential use begins
apace. The part of the Steele Creek Road corridor north of Westinghouse Boulevard is decidely residential.
While much of the housing is of the single-family variety, our site sits between the area's two major
multifamily developments. Warehouse, light manufacturing, and back-office commercial facilities are the
dominant uses through out this part of SW Charlotte. However, Westinghouse Boulevard, Sandy Porter
Road, Brown-Grier Road, and Steele Creek Road form a very consistent pocket of residential use. Traffic
and noise associate with the commercial and retail stay with York Road/S. Tryon Street. Undeveloped land in
the area is a combination of woods and open fields. There is a reasonable amount of available acreage, but it
largely works to insulate the single-family and multifamily communities from the office, commercial, and retail.
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. Steele Creek Road has full traffic signals at both Westinghouse Boulevard
and Brown-Grier Road. Much of the segment of Steele Creek Road on which our site sits has been widened
and improved. The new apartment development adjacent to our site made many of these changes, including
a dedicated deceleration lane and a large asphalt shoulder. Our site would also likely include its own
deceleration lane and the extension of the asphalt shoulder. CATS Bus Route #55 runs past our site with
current stops nearby at Steele Creek/Brown-Grier and Westinghouse Commons/Westlake. Our development
will sit right along Steele Creek in full view.
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).
None.
