I seeking to rectify the problem by extending the existing industrial zoning over the entire property to ensure their perpetual ability to maintain existing infrastructure necessary for the business. During the hearing the following questions were asked: 1. A BOCC member asked staff to clarify the zoning of the property. Staff Comment: As detailed within the abstract the property is split zoned Rural Residential (R -1) and Light Industrial (1 -1). The property is also located within the Upper Eno Protected Watershed Protection Overlay District. 2. A BOCC member asked if the rezoning request for this parcel would impact the zoning of the property to the south and east. Staff Comment: The extension of the 1 -1 zoning over the remaining portion of 3604 Southern Drive will not impact the zoning of the property to the south or east. Staff pointed out, however, that the Keizer's have submitted a request to rezone the 2 parcels to the south and east to 1 -1 to allow for a possible expansion of the existing industrial operation. Staff reminded the Board the decision to approve this specific request would be based on the appropriateness of the application, and its compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, and not on the possible expansion of the existing non - residential land use.
