Applicant's Site Evaluation
Briefly describe your site in each of the following categories:
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.
The proposed Henson Ridge site is located directly beside the newly constructed “Henson Place” apartment
community and behind the Albemarle Shopping Center. The strip center consists of various stores such as
hair salon, grocery store, clothing stores, etc. Across the street from the site is a mobile home
manufacturing plant. Various single family homes exist just beyond the site on Henson. Albemarle has
grown substantially in the last 3 years including its’ newest addition of the Super Wal-mart center which is
located within a ½ mile from our site. Various other businesses have been added in the last 3 years along
with various hotels and restaurants. The development in this area is anticipated to grow even more with the
construction of the new Interstate 74 Corridor.
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 is retail and new growth large box retail.
Directly adjacent to the site is NC Vocational Rehab with a stable manufactured home commercial business
across the street. Directly down the street from the site are single family residential homes.
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. The site is relatively flat and does not appear to have any negative features.
It is directly accessed by the main artery to 24/27 which gives access to the surrounding community and
county.
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 and physical barriers that will delay project construction or adversely affect
future tenants.
Similarity of scale and aesthetics/architecture between project and surroundings.
The use of two story buildings along with a creative spacious site layout gives a natural fit to the proposed
surrounding area. Our use of materials in construction of the facade will incorporate materials consistent
with the surrounding market. We will use a mix of brick and vinyl.
For each applicable neighborhood feature, enter distance from project in miles.
