154.105 CHESTNUT PARK NEIGHBORHOOD DISTRICT (CP-ND).

Vision/Goals.   A well-established older neighborhood bordering the Central Business District, this linear neighborhood is served mainly from a single road.  This road, which leads into the Eagles Nest Mountain area, is one of the few roads in Waynesville that crosses under Highway 23/74.  Due to the interference of the highway and limited access into the neighborhood itself, as future development occurs, connections into adjoining neighborhoods (i.e., connecting Shingle Cove Road to Laurel Ridge) are important to keep Chestnut Park Road from becoming too heavily traveled.  Pedestrian and bicycle amenities connecting the neighborhood to Chestnut Park and adjoining areas will be developed. Medium density residential development will be the predominant land use in the area.
