Rezoning Petition Name Phone Number <br /> 2. Staff Generated Maps Detailing Rezoning Craig Benedict, Director 245-2592 <br /> Request and Boundary of Node Michael D. Harvey, Planner 245-2607 <br /> 3. Mail out Certification/Property Owner <br /> Letter <br /> PURPOSE: To hold a public hearing on a petition submitted by Mr. Vernon Davis to rezone a <br /> portion of his four point seven (4.7) acre parcel of property located at the intersection of NC 54 <br /> and White Cross Road (TMBL 6.30.7M / PIN 9749-40-0293). <br /> BACKGROUND: This item was originally reviewed at the November 24, 2008 Quarterly Public <br /> Hearing where staff recommended denial of the petition due to its noncompliance with provisions of <br /> the Orange County Zoning Ordinance, specifically limitations on the cumulative amount of <br /> permissible non-residentially zoned property allowed within Nodes. <br /> This issue was rectified through a text amendment to Section(s) 4.2.8 and 4.2.9 of the Zoning <br /> Ordinance approved by the BOCC on August 18, 2009, which now allows for additional commercial <br /> acreage. <br /> PETITION REQUEST: Mr. Davis owns two parcels of property at the southwest quadrant of White <br /> Cross Road and NC Highway 54. <br /> One parcel is an eight thousand four hundred (8,400) square foot parcel of property that is zoned <br /> Neighborhood Commercial Two (NC-2). The second parcel (the parcel subject to the submitted <br /> rezoning petition) is a four point seven (4.7) acre parcel of property zoned Agricultural Residential <br /> (AR). <br /> Both properties are located within the Haw River Unprotected Watershed and within the White Cross <br /> Rural Community Activity Node.
