D-1 Reauest hX u- Wens N uat_ hgng forma RP2Dnina fro Agricultural Residential to Planned Development Industrial and Class A S ecial Use Permit (see pages of this book) Marvin Collins, Director of the Planning Department stated that Dr. Khye Weng Ng and wife have requested a Planned Development-Il designation for property located at the southwest corner of the intersection of NC. 86 North and Coleman Loop Road. A 5.03 acre tract is proposed for a building to be used for the packaging and production of a sweet and sour sauce. The present zoning of the property is A-R Agriculture Residential, which permits agricultural uses and residential development of densities of one unit per acre. The property to the north is occupied by Major Business Forms, Incorporated, zoned I-1 Industrial. All other property in this area is zoned A-R, including a residential area. There are a few single family homes to the west and east. The planned development district proposal was established in the Zoning Ordinance to allow single tracts of land to be planned and developed an a unified basis. The approach to creating such districts requires rezoning of the property, the issuance of a special use permit, and the assurance that they will meet special criteria for planned development within the Zoning Ordinance. The three (3) criteria for the I-1 Industrial District is set forth in section 4.2.2.1. in the Zoning Ordinance: (1) The site must be located within a Rural Industrial Activity Node. The Orange County adopted Land Use Plan designates the Coleman Loop Road and NC 86 North intersection as a Rural Industrial Activity Node; (2) The lot size for individual use must be appropriate to the method of water supply and sewage disposal. On the five acre tract the Orange County Health Department has approved the septic tank system, and a well is proposed; (3) There must be access directly to streets designated as arterial or collector by the Land Use Plan. NC 86 North has been designated as an arterial street in the Land Use Plan. In terms of the general standards with Special Use Permits, the application must be approved unless it can be shown that the use will not promote the general health, safety .and welfare if location were proposed in accordance with the plan submitted; if it will not maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property; if it is not in accordance with the adopted land use plan. Mr. Collins noted, a number of Planned Development standards applicable to Dr. Weng's situation: (1) concentration of complementary use must be encouraged; (2) the site must serve as an alternative to strip development; (3) the minimum lot area is at least two acres; (4) there is a footage requirement of inn feat nn �rFarial etroa+ wr Ac nnA Annrnvimai-alv 7F7 f0pi. iiz nrnviAPAt
