This item is to consider a proposed Zoning Atlas amendment in Hillsborough Township requested by Charles W.Davis and James L.Davis. The property proposed to be rezoned is approximately 105 acres out of a 107.57 acre tract.It is located on the east side of Old NC 86 and is bounded by Cates Creek and the Town of Hillsborough Zoning Jurisdiction to the northwest and the I40/NC 86 Economic Development District to the south. The 105 acres is currently zoned Rural Residential(R-1). The applicant proposes to rezone the property to Residential-3 (R-3). The remaining 2.57 acres the tract is located in the Town of Hillsborough's zoning jurisdiction. The parcel is undeveloped and the surrounding property is mostly undeveloped. The southeast comer of the property abuts Section 3 of Stagecoach Run subdivision which at the present time contains 5 houses. The northwest property line abuts the Town of Hillsborough's Planning Jurisdiction where the property is zoned Economic Development District.The Town has approved The Old Mill commercial subdivision in this area. The Town engineer has indicated that water and sewer capacity is available to serve this area,however,extensive off-site improvements/extensions will be required of the developer when a development is proposed. The Zoning Ordinance lists criteria which are normally used to determine the application of Residential-3 zoning. The purpose of an R3 district is to provide locations for low and moderate intensity residential development and supporting recreational,community service and educational uses in areas where urban services are available or are to be provided as part of the development process. The property is located in an area designated as Twenty Year Transition in the Land Use Element of the Orange County Comprehensive Plan. Public Hearing Comments - A joint public hearing on the rezoning request was held by the Board of Commissioners and Planning Board on august 26, 1996. There were no comments from the Planning Board or Board of Commissioners. Judy Brown and Dean Lategan,both residents of Stagecoach Run,spoke in opposition to the request for certain lots that they indicated were originally a part of Stagecoach Run. They felt that the restrictive covenants applied to these lots. Deal Lategan indicated these lots were 1,2,4 and 5 in Section A and Lot I in Section B. Arthur Cogswell and Mr.Charles Davis spoke in favor of the request. Mr.Davis indicated that these lots were eliminated in the 1980s and are now not subdivided.
