~7~ <br />restrictions on mobile homes would affect their affordability. She <br />encouraged the Board of Commissioners to listen to the comments from <br />mobile home park owner/operators and act accordingly. - <br />Bart Walters stated that he has been a mobile home park dweller for <br />over five years and was only moving now due to the fact that he had been <br />able to save money to purchase property of his own. He indicated he <br />felt the mobile home parks should be able to continue operation under <br />the standards which were in effect at the time they were built. <br />It was asked from the audience that the amendment be read in its <br />entirety. Collins responded that there is not a text amendment per se <br />in written form. If something is deleted from the text it is not <br />written, it is simply taken out of the ordinance. He continued reading <br />Articl-e 6.21.1 a 2) and noting that the phrase "that the space be <br />improved in accordance with Subsection. 7.20.4a) of this ordinance" is <br />the phrase which requires existing mobile home parks to comply with the <br />ne~;~ standards. By deleting this phrase, a grandfather situation would <br />be created. <br />1. ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENTS <br />a. Z-7-86 Allen and Doris Turner Continued from 8-25-86 <br />The presentation was made by Marvin Collins. <br />This agenda item is to receive public comment on a proposed <br />rezoning request submitted by Allen and Doris Turner. <br />Allen and Doris Turner are requesting rezoning of a 14.97 acre <br />tract located on a gravel access road partially maintained by NCDOT. <br />The access road connects to U.S. 70 at the southwest intersection <br />corner of U.S. 70 and Interstate 85 in Eno Township. The property is <br />known as Lot 77 and 77A of Tax Map 25. The property is located in an <br />area designated Twenty Year Transition and Commercial- Industrial <br />Transition Activity Node in the Orange County Land Use Plan. The <br />present zoning classification of the property is Rural Residential (R- <br />1). The applicant is requesting the lot be rezoned to General <br />Commercial-4 (GC-4). <br />Approval of the request would allow development of the full range <br />of commercial uses at this location. Properties to the east and west <br />of the tract are zoned GC-4. Rezoning of the property would allow for <br />the development of the site as a single commercial project or, <br />alternatively, the subdivision of the property into individual lots for <br />commercial development. <br />Collins indicated information has been received that has to do with <br />a letter submitted by the Division of Environmental Management <br />concerning noncompliance with NC General Statutes regarding wash water <br />and discharge of oil. Collins continued that Mr. Turner has come into <br />compliance with DEM's notice of non- compliance. Due to the nature of <br />this business and the closer review needed, Collins stated that <br />Planning Staff is recommending denial of the request with resubmission <br />as Planned Development. A Planned Development is a more suitable <br />approach for rezoning of this property in that it would not only allow <br />the Board of Commissioners and the Planning Board to consider the <br />specific request again but it would also allow them to look at a <br />specific site plan for the development of the project. At that time <br />conditions could be attached to the approval which would address any <br />
