It lies west and north of <br />Mars Hill Baptist Church which is approximately 1.25 miles north of the <br />intersection of NC 86 and NC 57 (please see Map of Site). <br />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 <br />service. The proposed designation of Ten-Year Transition would allow potential <br />rezoning of the property to higher-density residential uses in the future. The <br />property is currently zoned AR, which permits residential uses with a minimum lot <br />size of 0.92 acres. <br />
