142 category as denoted on the Land Use Element Map of the Comprehensive Plan and the Rural Designated Area as denoted on the Growth Management System Map (Please see the attached map). Schools are considered a permitted use within the RB zoning district, subject to the issuance of a Class A Special Use Permit by the Board of County Commissioners. This is a voluntary, two step approval process, requiring the County to take action on: 1. A rezoning approval (i.e. legislative process) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8 of the UDO to rezone these parcels from RB and PD -H -RB to Rural Buffer Conditional Use (RB -CU); and 2. A Class A Special Use Permit (SUP) approval (i.e. quasi-judicial process) of a site specific development plan denoting the proposed school expansion in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7 and 2.9 of the UDO. As an adjacent property owner you have the right to address the Board(s) concerning this request. The meeting to review this case is scheduled for Monday, November 21, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. at the Department of Social Services, Hillsborough Commons Shopping Center, 113 Mayo St. Hillsborough, North Carolina. It should be remembered that this process involves not only the review of a rezoning petition but a Class A Special Use Permit. The review of all special use permit applications are carried out in a quasi-judicial format, meaning that decisions relating to the approval or denial of a application are based solely on the sworn testimony of all parties involved with the case, both those for and against an application, as well as the review of competent material and substantial evidence submitted during the public hearing. While County regulations and State law do not require that parties be represented by an attorney, it may be in your best interests to secure legal council to represent your interests. Further the applicant has the burden of establishing, by the submission of competent material and substantial evidence, the existence of facts and conditions that demonstrate the projects compliance with the various requirements and standards detailed within the Zoning Ordinance. Those opposing approval of the application shall have the burden of establishing, also through the submission of competent material and substantial evidence, the specific manner in which the proposal does not satisfy the requirements for approval of the application. If you have any questions concerning this request, please contact staff at (919) 245 -2575. Sincer ly, Mich el D. ary y CP, CFO, CZO Current Planning Supervisor Planner III Orange County Planning
