outflow from the two-acre pond flows under Highway 86 and does not affect the parcel proposed for rezoning. The Planning Board Chair and a neighbor of the subject property inquired about the planned use of the property if it were rezoned. Staff stated that any of the uses listed by right, or allowed after receiving a Special Use Permit, in the I-1 zoning district would be possible. The uses are listed in the attached General Information Memorandum. Following the public hearing and prior to the Planning Board meeting, the Planning Department received four letters from neighbors opposing the rezoning request. The letters are attached as new evidence. Concerns expressed in the letters include drainage, traffic, and other potential impacts. No use is proposed at this time. Any future development plans will be reviewed for compliance with all applicable zoning regulations, erosion control and stormwater management standards, as well as requirements of other agencies such as Environmental Health and NCDOT. If grading for a proposed nonresidential use exceeds 40,000 square feet, and Environmental Assessment is required as per the County's Environmental Impact Ordinance. On January 7, 1998, the Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the rezoning request for the Chang property from AR to I-1, as delineated on an attached map and as per the attached fmdings required by the Zoning Ordinance. The proposal was discussed by the Board of Commissioners on January 20. The public hearing was closed and the item tabled for the Board to receive additional information on the following questions: 1. Where is the proposed connector road between St. Mary's Road and Highway 86 in relation to the subject property ? Refer to the attached map copied from the 1997 Hillsborough Transportation Plan for a possible alignment of the Western Bypass/Northside Drive. The proposed road is not within Hillsborough's planning jurisdiction. It is shown in the Transportation Element of the Orange County Comprehensive Plan. Both Plans indicate the connector road being aligned with the southern intersection of Coleman Loop Road (SR 1332) and NC Highway 86 North. Final alignment will be determined after NCDOT studies constraints for road construction in that area. The site of the proposed rezoning is approximately 700 feet north of that intersection.
