Natural Environment/Features
Tree Cover
The land surrounding the LYNX Blue Line Extension stations is both urban
and suburban; consequently, the wooded communities in the study area are generally highly
disturbed. Generally, tree cover in the study area is fragmented and reflects the highly disturbed
nature of the area. The current forest resources are primarily pine, mixed pines or hardwoods.
A concentration of natural, relatively undisturbed wooded area is located within a portion of
the proposed Old Concord Road Station park-and-ride lot and is classified as a mixed pine/
hardwood forest community. Groundcover is sparse or absent. Stunted vegetation and a mixed
canopy characterize these areas.
Topography The study area is characterized by broad, gently rolling inter-stream areas
and by steeper slopes along drainage ways. The highest elevations in the study area are located
along North Tryon Street/US-29 east of the proposed Old Concord Road Station. The lowest
elevations in the study area are located east of the UNC Charlotte Station at Mallard Creek.
Water Quality – Environmentally Sensitive Areas
The N.C. Department
of Water Quality (NCDWQ) monitors streams for water quality. In the study area, Little Sugar
Creek does not meet water quality standards, primarily due to wastewater discharges and urban
runoff. Problems include turbidity and fecal coliform bacteria, as well as poor-to-fair presence
of biological communities (NCDWQ website, accessed December, 2008). Due to this listing, Little Sugar Creek is subject to State restrictions that prohibit the further deterioration of
stream water quality.
Streams
The project corridor is located in portions of two drainage basins. The southern
portion of the study area is located within the Lower Catawba watershed of the Catawba River
Basin. The northern portion of the study area is located within the Rocky River watershed of
the Yadkin River Basin. Major streams in the southern half of the project region (Upper Little
Sugar Creek and Briar Creek in the Catawba River Basin) generally flow in a southerly direction, while streams in the northern half of the project region (Toby Creek in the Rocky River
watershed of the Yadkin River Basin) generally flow in a northeasterly direction.

Tree canopy is very fragmented because of the
urban character of the area.
The 8-county area is classified as an air quality
attainment area for most quality standards.
Floodplains FEMA Floodplains are land areas adjacent to rivers and streams that are
subject to recurring flooding. Because of their continually changing nature, floodplain areas and
other flood-prone areas need to be examined in light of how they might affect or be affected by
development.
Community Floodplains were established by Mecklenburg County in 2000. Unlike FEMA
floodplains that are established by FEMA officials and identify current floodway boundaries, Community Floodplains identify what areas will be prone to flooding in the future, once
land upstream is developed. As such, they are known as the future floodplains or Community
Floodplains. The floodplain regulations restrict development from occurring within these areas.
According to the FIRM maps for Mecklenburg County, the study area falls outside of the
FEMA 100-year floodplain, with the exception of proposed crossings of Little Sugar Creek
and the encroachment into the floodplain at the proposed 36th Street Station. The Little Sugar
Creek Community Floodplain is within the project corridor and extends for approximately 400
feet along the north side of North Brevard Street. The floodplain area along the south side of
North Brevard Street extends for approximately 300 feet. An existing bridge on North Brevard
Street crosses Little Sugar Creek adjacent to the study area. The Little Sugar Creek floodplain
west of 36th Street extends along the project corridor for approximately 500 feet, to the proposed 36th Street Station.
Wetlands Jurisdictional wetlands are defined as areas that have three environmental features: hydrophytic vegetation, wetland hydrology and hydric soils. There are nine jurisdictional
wetland areas located within the study area.
Air Quality
The Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill, NC-SC area is the name of the present eight-county area classified by the EPA for NAAQS. This area is currently classified as an
attainment area for all National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), with the exception
of 8-hour ozone. Additionally, Mecklenburg County is also classified by the EPA for NAAQS.
Mecklenburg is in attainment for all NAAQS except for 8-hour ozone and is classified as a
maintenance area for carbon monoxide.

The streets around the station area form a typical urban grid network, although the Norfolk
Southern rail line creates some disconnections, and while the Little Sugar Creek Greenway
creates some vehicular interruptions, it does provide pedestrian connectivity. There are opportunities to connect small sections of disconnected roads and pedestrian network and especially
to build new network pieces as industrial uses redevelop, and to connect the area’s circulation
network to Little Sugar Creek Greenway.
The pedestrian environment is currently challenged by the station’s proximity to the rail yard,
which bisects the station area. The neighborhoods on the southern side of the rail yard do
have very good pedestrian connectivity. Parkwood Avenue and Tryon Street are strategic and
important pedestrian spines that extend the reach of the station. Belmont Avenue and North
Davidson Street are important neighborhood streets that increase walkability throughout the
station area.

The half-mile station area lacks a street network at its core, due to the physical barrier imposed
by the Norfolk Southern rail yard and industrial land uses along each side of the yard. New
network pieces will be built as industrial land uses redevelop to more transit-supportive uses.
There is an opportunity to connect small pieces of network across Little Sugar Creek with
pedestrian or vehicular links.
On the other hand, the residential areas on the southern side have very good pedestrian connectivity, with a traditional grid street pattern that is very pedestrian-oriented.
Matheson Avenue poses a barrier because of its design, vehicle speeds, and volume. However,
targeting pedestrian improvements on important neighborhood streets, such as North Brevard,
can improve walkability around the station area. Many of these improvements are likely to
come about as the area redevelops.

The Sugar Creek transit station is located along the North Carolina Railroad (NCRR) west of
East Sugar Creek Road. The station area core is made up mostly of industrial and commercial
properties along East Sugar Creek and residential uses south of the rail line. The residential areas
are part of the North Charlotte and Howie Acres neighborhoods, located on either side of the
NCRR from the station.
Land Use and Community Design
Commercial uses are found on the northern perimeter of the station area along North Tryon
Street, including small strip commercial and auto-oriented uses. The station’s largest land uses
are industrial, especially on the north side of NCRR, as well as a potentially historic industrial
warehouse district on the southwest quadrant of the NCRR/East Sugar Creek Road intersection.
There are a number of large parcels throughout the station area, including the Asian Corner
shopping center. Many of these parcels are underutilized. The station location is likely to influence redevelopment in the station area, especially for the Asian Corner mall, which is expected
to redevelop into higher density land uses and a more pedestrian-oriented development pattern
and spur further redevelopN Tryon St
ment along the North Tryon
and East Sugar Creek corridors.

The station area is well-served by three arterial roads that provide regional connectivity: North
Tryon Street, East Sugar Creek Road, and The Plaza. There are local-serving streets in the residential areas south of the NCRR. To the north there is limited connectivity due to the industrial and auto-oriented nature of development. There is an opportunity to increase connectivity
with new roads as the station area redevelops.
Pedestrian mobility around the station area is limited by the few pedestrian crossing opportunities along East Sugar Creek Road, North Tryon Street, and the NCRR.
The large block pattern of the Asian Corner shopping center has the potential to become more
pedestrian-friendly as it redevelops and is broken down into a more walkable block structure.

Street Network and Pedestrian Environment
Old Concord Road, North Tryon Street, and Eastway Drive provide the primary connections
within the station area. Pedestrian facilities are minimal on these major streets today, but there
is the potential to formalize the pedestrian network as new streets and pedestrian pathways are
created as part of the construction of transit-related parking facilities, and as redevelopment
occurs.
The street network within
the proposed station area
is adequate, but improvements can be made.
Primary access is from Old
Concord Road, North
Tryon Street, and Eastway
Drive. In some areas, the
topography presents a challenge, but new connections
are expected as part of
station area development
and the station park and
ride lot. Sidewalks exist on
Old Concord Road, North

Drive, and will be constructed as part of all new
street connections.

The Northeast District Plan (1996), Optimist Park Neighborhood Plan (2002), Belmont Area
Revitalization Plan (2003), North Charlotte Plan (1995) and the Newell Area Plan (2002)
provide land use guidance for this portion of the Corridor. These plans are updated by subsequent approved rezoning and area plans. As depicted on Map Xa: Adopted Future Land Use,
Urban Stations, page 80 and Map Xb: Adopted Future Land Use, Suburban Stations, page 81,
their future land use recommendations generally follow the pattern of existing land use. They

Development Activity/Potential Opportunities
Summary
The Northeast Corridor largely traverses already-developed areas of the City, although there
is some remaining undeveloped land around a few stations in the University City area. Still,
numerous opportunities exist for significant redevelopment and intensification of under-developed and vacant properties along the corridor. Over the next 25 years, station areas along the
BLE could capture nearly 12,400 new residential units, 3.8 million square feet of new office
space and roughly 1.35 million square feet of new retail space.

A vibrant and colorful mixed use building in

New single family homes are being built in
the in the 36th Street Station Area.
The North Davidson corridor – from Center City to NoDa – is an increasingly attractive, yet
still edgy, residential corridor intown. Over the past 10 to 20 years, significant revitalization
has occurred at both ends, with the development of some infill residential and commercial uses
in between station areas. More residential infill development is expected between the 9th Street
through the 36th Street stations as the area continues to gain momentum, helped by the implementation of light rail.
Redevelopment and revitalization of the Old Concord Road and Tom Hunter stations will be
quite challenging with demand potential being tempered by a number of factors, including
lower household incomes, moderate home prices and retail abandonment. Opportunities exist
for infill residential (largely attached) and some retail infill. Critical in this area will be working
with developers and/or property owners to redevelop aging uses. In addition, placemaking and
creating a sense of location will be important to grow redevelopment beyond specific sites.

Building Permits Summary
There were 593 building permits
issued over the past five years in
this portion of the corridor for
both residential and nonresidential development.
Rezonings Summary
Over the past five years there have been 30 rezoning petitions filed in
the corridor. A majority of these were for MUDD (Mixed Use Development District) zoning to allow for more transit supportive development. The TOD (Transit Oriented Development) district has not been
available within most of the corridor because of the lack of station area
plans until 2007 and/or a Record of Decision (ROD).

Street Network for Urban Stations
One way to assess the adequacy of an area’s street network is to measure the number of route
choices available to pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists. A dense, well-connected network
offers greater choices of routes and more direct routes to destinations than does a less connected
network. The availability of more interconnected route choices also provides greater overall
system capacity.
Route choices are measured by the number of lane-miles of streets, number of intersections
(nodes), number of blocks (links), and the connectivity index. A lane-mile is one mile of a
single roadway lane. The more lane-miles of streets there are, the greater the overall traffic
carrying capacity. The connectivity index quantifies how well a roadway network connects destinations and is calculated by dividing the number of roadway links by the number of roadway
nodes. A connectivity index of 1.45 or more is desirable for transit station areas and in-town
neighborhoods, such as the Urban Station Areas.

Both North Davidson Street and East 36th Street are classified as minor thoroughfares which
carry traffic from local collector streets to major throughfares.
Existing Thoroughfares & Collectors for Urban Stations
The Mecklenburg-Union Thoroughfare Plan is the adopted major roadway plan for Mecklenburg
and Union counties and is used to assure that the most appropriate street system is developed
to meet existing and future travel needs. Streets are classified and designed according to their
intended functions so that land use and traffic conflicts are minimized. See Map X: Street
Network/Classifications, page 89 and Map X: Planned and Programed Projects, page 90. The
street classifications applicable to the Urban Transit Station Areas are as follows:
Thoroughfares: Eastway Drive, Matheson Avenue, Parkwood Avenue, East Sugar Creek
Road, North Tryon Street, and The Plaza are major thoroughfares serving the area. As major
thoroughfares, these streets are designed to accommodate large volumes of traffic at moderate
speeds and provide access to major commercial, employment and residential land uses. North
Davidson Street and East 36th Street are area minor thoroughfares, which collect traffic from
the local collector streets and carry it to the major thoroughfares. Minor thoroughfares are
designed to carry moderate traffic volumes at moderate speeds and provide access to residential,
commercial and institutional land uses.
Collectors & Locals: North Brevard Street and Craighead Road are major collectors.
Belmont Avenue, East 16th Street, Dinglewood Avenue, Herrin Avenue, and Pickney Avenue
are minor collectors. Collectors are designed to carry traffic between the thoroughfares and
local streets at moderate volumes and speeds and providing access to adjacent land uses. The
remaining roadways are local streets that carry low traffic volumes, have slow operating speeds
and provide access to individual properties.

Pedestrian Ways
Currently, in the Northeast Corridor, sidewalks are not consistently provided along the roadways. The continuity of the sidewalk network is minimal or non-existent in many areas. Gaps
exist along North Tryon Street/US-29 north of W.T. Harris
