0003,105 (3) Recreation Facilities Under the Land Use Intensity (LUI) system an R-4 rezoning does not require the provision of recreational space. The 2.92 acre recreational area which serves the existing Wildwood subdivision is so located as to be accessible to serve this site. It includes an open area► picnic tables and pedestrian paths. Applying the recreational space requirements for planned developments to Sections I - IV inclusive (R-4=.03; R-5=.036) ► a total of 2.817 acres of recreational area would be required. The existing recreational area satisfies these requirements. (4) School School-age children living in the development would attend Grady Brown Elementary School, Stanback Middle School► Stanford Junior High School and Hillsborough High School. According to Mr. Ralph Compton of the Board of Educationt all the schools with the exception of Orange High School are operating at capacity.
