52 <br /> This area has been noted as an urban growth land use since 1981 and reconfirmed <br /> in 1994 and 2008. Orange County is facilitating the proposed land use pattern since <br /> any one small business could not afford to build infrastructure and jobs growth is <br /> more important than ever. <br /> 5. Annexation <br /> These land use and zoning amendments do not create annexation programs. If a <br /> new business or resident wants public water and sewer, they will sign a voluntary <br /> annexation form and if the City of Durham decides the petition meets state law and is <br /> fiscally feasible then it may be annexed. <br /> 6. Why are there two plans Orange County and City of Durham <br /> Where are these two land use plans and one zoning plan? The area is within <br /> Orange County which has a land use and zoning program. If a city also has an area <br /> of county within its future urban growth boundary (UGB)then they also have a future <br /> land use plan map. <br /> 7. Mobile Home Parks <br /> The northern mobile home park is being rezoned to EDE-2 which has frontage on I- <br /> 85. The southern mobile home park will remain Planned Development HR 4 zoning <br /> since its approval contains special 'Planned Development' conditions until such time <br /> a different project is proposed. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz asked if any conforming uses would be rendered non-conforming by <br /> any of these changes. Craig Benedict said that he has analyzed the complete list and there would be <br /> no non-conformities. <br /> Chair Pelissier said that the County Commissioners received a letter for the record from <br /> Charles Gunter. She gave this letter to the Clerk,which is shown below: <br /> February 23, 2012 <br /> Ms. Bernadette Pelissier, Chair <br /> Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> 4516 Mystic Lane <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Dear Ms. Bernadette Pelissier: <br /> I received a letter dated February 10, 2012, notifying of us two scheduled neighborhood meetings. I <br /> have attended the first meeting. Regarding proposed changes,that letter states, in bold print, "You <br /> property is not impacted...". I must respectfully differ with the statement that what you propose will <br /> not impact my property at 4411 Hwy 70 E, Durham, NC 27705, located immediately west of the <br /> Duke Energy and Energy high lines. All activities adjacent to one's property logically affects that <br /> property as well. <br />
