It lies west and north of Mars Hill <br />Baptist Church which is approximately 1.25 miles north of the intersection of NC 86 and <br />NC 57 (please see Map of Site). <br />Explanation of Existing and Proposed Conditions <br />Existing: The property is currently zoned Agricultural - Residential (AR), which permits <br />residential uses with a minimum lot size of 0.92 acres. <br />Proposed: The designation of Ten -Year Transition is applied to land in transition from <br />rural to urban uses which has or will have access to public water and sewer service. The <br />proposed designation of Ten -Year Transition would allow potential rezoning of the <br />property to higher - density residential uses in the future. <br />Development Process.
