32 (2) The general street layout is consistent with mobility needs of the Town and the proposed development; (3) The phasing plan enables each phase to be developed in a way that it creates a sustainable neighborhood that will be enhanced as each successive phase is developed; and (4) The proposed arrangement of land uses and the phasing plan are compatible with surrounding neighborhoods.

At such time as the Development lags one (1) year behind the approved phasing plan, the approval shall expire unless the Applicant submits a written request for the extension and continuance MRD Planning Board July 2014 Page 2 of 11

33 of the Conceptual Development Plan. Approval of any such extension request shall be automatic one time only for a period of twelve (12) months. Subsequent extensions to the Conceptual Development Plan shall require approval of the Planning Board. (3) Conceptual Development Plan approval does not ensure approval of a Preliminary Development Plan involving a substantially different concept, failing to meet specific requirements of these regulations, or failing to satisfy conditions of Conceptual Development Plan approval. Approval does not comprise any vesting of Development rights or any assurance that permits of any kind will be issued. (H) Denial and Appeal. If the Planning Board finds that the Conceptual Development Plan fails to meet the criteria established in the section, it shall deny the Conceptual Development Plan application. The Applicant may appeal such denial to the Town Council. The petitioner has supplied a narrative that provides details of the Conceptual Development Plan as it applies to the subject property. Please see attachments. The details provided discuss pedestrian connectivity, landscaping, open space, stormwater, utility service, buffers/setbacks, architectural character, and signage. The Future Land Use Map in the 2010 Comprehensive Long Rang Plan (CLRP) update shows this area planned as Traditional Mixed Use which is described on page 4.6: o The Traditional Mixed Use overlay applies to those larger, mostly undeveloped parcels well-suited to mixing residential and non-residential uses in a manner similar to that found in downtown Southern Pines. This designation applies to the Morganton Road area and to the Pine Needles area, identifying these as likely spots for mixed-use including an interconnected street network as found in traditional town development. No development intensity is necessarily implied by this designation. It simply indicates that such areas will be built to urban levels, will incorporate a variety of uses and will have a street network accommodating multiple modes of travel beyond the automobile.
