Fayetteville City Zoning Code

30-3.E. Business

Base Zoning Districts

30-3.E.1. General Purposes

The business base zoning districts are established for the general purpose of ensuring there are lands in the City that provide a wide range of office, retail, service, industrial, and related uses to meet household and business needs, and more specifically to:

  1. Provide appropriately located lands for the full range of business uses needed by the City's residents, businesses, and workers, consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the 2030 Joint Growth Vision Plan, the Cumberland County Land Use Plan, functional plans, and applicable small area plans;
  2. Strengthen the City's economic base, and provide employment opportunities close to home for residents of the City and surrounding communities;
  3. Create suitable environments for various types of business uses, and protect them from the adverse effects of incompatible uses;
  4. Create suitable environments for various types of mixed use development, where business, office, retail, and residential uses are designed and integrated in compatible ways;
  5. Support the military and governmental activities taking place in the vicinity;
  6. Preserve the unique character and historic resources of the downtown; and
  7. Minimize the impact of business development on residential districts and uses.

30-3.E.2. Office and Institutional (OI) District

OI
OFFICE AND INSTITUTIONAL DISTRICT		 PURPOSE
The Office and Institutional (OI) District is established and intended to accommodate a mix of small-scale, low-intensity professional and business offices and institutions, together with limited personal service and supporting retail uses (See 30-4.D Accessory Uses) , single-family detached, single-family attached, and multi-family residential uses in close proximity to one another, subject to design and compatibility standards. The districts are generally near residential neighborhoods and often serve as a buffer or transition between neighborhoods and more intense business districts. Uses in the district are subject to the design standards in Article 30-5: Development Standards. In many cases, OI districts are evolving from land that was once primarily residential in character, and as such, office and institutional uses should be configured for consistency with surrounding residential uses in physical design, scale, and character.

30-3.E.3. Neighborhood Commercial (NC) District

NC NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT PURPOSE
The Neighborhood Commercial (NC) District is established and intended to accommodate small-scale, low-intensity, and "convenience" retail and service uses that provide goods and services serving the residents of the immediately surrounding neighborhood (e.g., personal service uses, small restaurants, and limited retail). Development in the district should not include uses of a size that is out of scale with a residential neighborhood, or that attracts traffic from outside the surrounding neighborhood. New construction shall not create individual retail uses over 2,500 square feet without obtaining a Special Use Permit (See Section 30-2.C.7.). Residential uses are encouraged on the upper floors of nonresidential establishments. The district is subject to standards intended to ensure development is consistent with the neighborhood scale and compatible with surrounding uses and the design standards in Article 30-5: Development Standards.

MU
MIXED-USE DISTRICT		 PURPOSE
The Mixed-Use (MU) District is established and intended to accommodate and foster the coordinated development of a compatible and balanced mix of mutually supporting living, working, shopping, educating, entertainment, and recreating uses. By providing housing close to nonresidential uses and grouping multiple destinations, such mixed-used development reduces vehicle usage and creates a compact high-quality, pedestrian-oriented environment. The district is subject to flexible standards intended to encourage an appropriate scale and balance of uses and development to ensure district development is compatible with surrounding uses. Uses may be either vertically-integrated within a single building or horizontally-integrated within separate buildings on the same site. Developments proposed within the MU District that do not include a mix of uses require a Special Use Permit (See Section 30-2.C.7).
