2 <br />Both properties are located within the Haw River Unprotected Watershed and within the White Cross <br />Rural Community Activity Node. (Please refer to the maps contained within Attachment One (1) and <br />Two (2) of this abstract). <br />PETITION REQUEST: Mr. Davis has submitted a rezoning petition seeking to rezone approximately <br />one point zero four (1.04) acre portion of his four point seven (4.7) acre parcel of property located at <br />3010 White Cross Road (TMBL 6.30..7M / PIN 9749 -40- 0293): <br />From: Agricultural Residential (AR) <br />To: Neighborhood Commercial Two (2) <br />EXISTING LAND USES: The subject property is currently undeveloped. <br />SURROUNDING LAND USES: NORTH: Across NC* Highway 54 there are several properties <br />zoned Local Commercial One (LC -1) and NC -2. <br />There is a daycare /school operating out of an existing <br />building and a contractor's office about to commence <br />operation. <br />SOUTH: Property to the south is zoned AR and is primarily <br />used to support single - family residential land uses. <br />EAST: Across White Cross Road there are several properties <br />zoned NC -2 and Rural Residential One (R -1). There <br />is a gas station operating to the east of the subject <br />property and several single - family residences. <br />WEST: Property to the west is zoned AR. There are several <br />single - family residences to the west of the property. <br />REASON FOR ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENT: <br />The septic system supporting the commercially zoned property is .located on the four point seven <br />(4.7) acre AR zoned parcel. The septic system and required repair area encumber approximately <br />one (1) acre of the subject property. - <br />Within his application, Mr. Davis indicates that he is concerned over his continued ability to utilize the <br />NC -2 zoned property for the following reasons: <br />1. Recent plans, published by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, indicate that <br />there will be modifications to both White Cross Road and NC 54. These improvements will <br />limit the available parking for the existing commercial operation and restrict access to the <br />property, <br />2. Mr. Davis is concerned about his continued ability to have the septic system supporting his <br />commercial operation on the AR zoned parcel of property. As detailed within the application, <br />previous Planning staff informed Mr. Davis that the Zoning Ordinance would prohibit the <br />operation of a septic system supporting a commercial land use on a residentially zoned parcel <br />of property. <br />
