The ask and what it produces for the City. A-1 to B-3 rezone on the ±1.93-acre North Parcel (PPIN 26700, corner of East Hardy Street and Old River Avenue) for a ±2,000 sq. ft. elevated general store and a boat / kayak ramp with access piers — the minimum single-district move that covers retail under 10,000 sq. ft. (§5.4.35) and boat / canoe / kayak rental (§5.4.10) together. The ask is scoped to the under-10,000 sq. ft. retail category only. Estimated $200K–$600K per year in combined recurring activity at full build-out, with $16K–$54K flowing directly to the City and County, from 1.93 acres of riverfront that today produces negligible public revenue. Floodplain-compatible (piers, no fill, no-rise review underway with Flood & Coast Engineering), no ongoing public subsidy, and a new serviced node on the Pinebelt Blueways — store, restrooms, parking, launch — at a corridor location currently without public access. Pre-application form shared with the Mayor and Councilmember Eric Boney (Ward 2).
