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 trend and direction of real estate development and the area economic health is on the upward trend.
The site we are proposing is currently a mobile home park. If we are successful in our bid for tax credits, the
owner will convey the property as vacant land at the time of closing. The site is located off of Davidson
Highway in Concord which is an area that is rapidly growing and off of a main thoroughfare in Concord. If
you travel down Davidson Highway, you will see many market rate apartment complexes along with several
upscale single family subdivisions that are very appealing and maintained in excellent condition. This
mobile home park has been in Concord since 1979, which means the surrounding housing literally
developed around the mobile home site. Apartments will fit into the landscaping of the area much better
than the existing mobile home park and we believe the adjacent property owners and the City of Concord
would emphatically agree. In addition, we believe the strength of this site location is evidenced by a letter of
interest to purchase the land by an upscale, market rate, multi-family developer dated August 20, 2008. A
copy of that letter is located in the Site Control portion of the application, as well as the market analyst
packet for your review.
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 site is adjacent to existing multi-family developments with a small
buffer of vacant land and a single family subdivision at the rear of the property. One of the adjacent multi-
family developments is a well-kept 48 unit Rural Development project. All along Davidson Highway are
market rate multi-family apartments, along with several very appealing single family subdivisions.
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 suitability is excellent on this site. The signage for the project will be
visible from Davidson Highway. In 2003, the City of Concord completed a Land Use Plan that estimated a
traffic count on that part of Davidson Highway to be as much as 21,000 per day. That same Land Use Plan
also designates Davidson Highway as one of Concord’s “major thoroughfares” which will give the project
great visibility. The Concord Kannapolis Transit System (RIDER) has a bus stop directly in front of the
existing RD multi-family development adjacent to our property. The bus stop for our residents is measured to
be only .05 miles from the site to the bus stop!
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 on-site negative features.
For each applicable neighborhood feature, enter distance from project in miles.

In addition, Cabbarus Memorial Hospital is located on Concord Parkway North and is within 1.56 miles from
