12 <br />since the 1980's. The proposed land use and zoning amendments would <br />potentially result in higher intensity development than is currently permitted when <br />requested by the property owner. <br />A joint neighborhood information meeting with Orange County and City of <br />Durham staff will be held on February 22, 2012 at The Murphey School (3717 <br />Murphey School Rd., Durham, NC 27705). The meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m. <br />Interested persons are encouraged to attend this neighborhood information <br />meeting to learn more about this proposal. <br />Purpose: To review the item and receive citizen comment on the proposed <br />amendments. <br />Your property, or a portion thereof, is proposed to be rezoned as noted. <br />Additionally, your property may be located within 500 -feet of other affected parcels. <br />The rezoning action, if approved by the Board of County Commissioners, will result <br />in a change to allowable uses that may be located on a parcel and to other zoning <br />regulations (such as dimensional and ratio standards) to which your property is <br />subject. <br />For example, in the case of the Whispering Pines subdivision, the land use change <br />from Commercial Node to 10 -year transition (which is a residential land use) creates <br />consistency with the existing established subdivision. <br />The Orange County Board of Commissioners and Planning Board will hold a Joint <br />Public Hearing on the proposed changes on Monday, February 27, 2012 at 7:00 <br />p.m. at the Department of Social Services located at 113 Mayo Street (Hillsborough <br />Commons Shopping Center) in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Interested persons are <br />invited to address the boards with their comments regarding the proposed rezoning <br />at this Joint Public Hearing. <br />Maps and other information regarding the proposed zoning change can be viewed at <br />the following website after Monday, February 13, 2012: <br />http: / /www.co. orange. nc .us /planning /SpecialProject.asp <br />If you cannot attend the Joint Public Hearing and the website does not answer your <br />questions about the proposed rezoning, you may call (919) 245 -2575 during regular <br />business hours and you will be directed to a staff person who can assist you. <br />Sincerely, <br />Craig N.
