' 81 INFORMATION ATTACHED IN SUPPORT OF APPLICATION FOR CHANGING THE ZONING ATLAS BY NEAL D. TAPP & BETTY CANNON TAPP c. (3) The adopted Land Use Plan recommends that the property which is the subject of this petition be developed in the future as "Rural Buffer." The property is currently zoned Neighborhood Commercial-2. The proposed rezoning seeks to rezone a portion of the existing commercial node to the rezoning recommended and called for by the Land Use Plan. c. (4) The stated purpose of the Rural Buffer zoning district is to allow rural residential, agricultural and silvicultural uses in order to buffer more intense development. The permitted or special uses listed in table 4.3 are all low density uses using relatively small amounts of services. The uses are residential, government, utilities, parks, communications, clubs, lodges, kennels and golf courses. The proposed land use is a non-residential utility-type use. No water or sewer service will be required. No staff will be permanently stationed at the site; about five maintenance trips per month are average. Contrast this land use with the purpose of the NC-2 district, which is to allow limited commercial uses to serve rural and neighborhood populations with convenience goods and personal services. The NC-2 district is the opposite of the RB district in that it encourages traffic and utility intensive uses such as service stations, banks, research facilities, retail uses, restaurants and so on. The proposed use of this property clearly meets the purpose and intent of the RB zoning district, not the NC-2 district.
