COMPREHENSIVE REZONINGS FOR CHEEKS AND ENO TOWNSHIPS <br />Planner Gene Bell gave background information stating that amendments to the ,SV <br />land use element of the comprehensive plan were adopted on July 5, 1988 for Cheeks, ;,; <br />Hillsborough, Eno and North Chapel Hill Township. To promote consistency between the <br />adopted amendments and the~Zoning Atlas, proposed rezonings were presented at the <br />public hearing on August 22. On October 18, the rezonings were appxoved for <br />Hillsborough and Chapel Hill Townships. Additional information was requested by the <br />Board on Cheeks and Eno Townships. That information has been provided. <br />The Administration recommends approval of the comprehensive rezonings as <br />presented on October 18, 1988 with the following exceptions: <br />(l) The area bounded by Efland-Gedar Grove Road, McGowan Creek, Upper Eno WQCA, <br />and Lebanon Road should retain the existing zoning (Rl), and (2) Scattered commercial <br />parcels outside the Commercial-Industrial Activity Nodes in Cheeks and Eno Townships <br />currently zoned NC-2 and GC-4 should be rezoned to EC-S consistent with the County <br />Attorney's December 12, 1988 Iegal opinion. <br />Cyrus Hogue, attorney for Johnny Kennedy, referred to comments that Mx.

He asked about the impacts on <br />this business if it. is rezoned. Attorney Gledhill stated that since Mr. Kennedy's ~ <br />business will not be listed on the permitted use table for EC-5, he would not be <br />permitted to expand his business as a mail order house. He suggested that the <br />permitted use table be reviewed for possibly adding this type of business in that zone. <br />Marvin Collins clarified that given the uses for EC-5, Mr. Kennedy's property <br />
