OOOti64 Carey to approve the advertisement of proposed zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations text amendments as corrected. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 5 CARR MITT. MATT. OFFICE IXASE RFRVFInTAL Postponed until the next meeting. G ITEM FOR DECISION-CHATDLERIS GREEN (JPA APPLICATION) PD-2-85 Planning Director Marvin Collins presented for consideration the Planned Development/Rezoning/Special Use Permit application for Chandler's Green. The application was presented at public hearing on June 11 and September 10, 1985. The applicant, Allenton Realty, has requested a Planned Development-Housing (PD-H) and Residential-2 (R-2) rezoning designation for 80.2 acres out of a 99.44 acre tract located contiguous to the Town of Chapel Hill's northeast corporate boundaries and situated between Sunrise Road, I-40 and Weaver Dairy Road. The Planning Board considered the request and recommended approval with the attachment of 28 conditions. The Chapel Hill Town Council recommended approval subject to 22 conditions. The Planning Board in considering the request found that it complied with Article 8.2.2 of the Zoning Ordinance in that it was in general compliance with the general standards, specific rules and required regulations with the exception of the provision of sight distance at points of access, the provision of the 100-foot open space perimeter requirement and the satisfaction of the maximum floor area ratio requirement. They also recommended that the application be approved because they could find no reason, based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, that the use would not promote the public health, safety and general welfare; that it would not maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property; and that it was not in compliance with the general plans of the County. The conditions recommended by the Planning Board are similar to those approved by the Chapel Hill Town Council. Collins first reviewed the two changes and additions made by the Chapel Hill Town Council to the original list of conditions submitted by the Chapel Hill Planning Staff. He then compared the conditions as outlined by the Orange County Planning Board with those conditions recommended by the Chapel Hill Town Council. Both lists are essentially the same with the following exceptions: (1) Orange County Planning Board condition #23 recommends that in lieu of a 100' buffer strip extending around the entire perimeter of the property, that a 30' buffer be provided along the frontage of Sunrise Road and a 50' buffer be provided adjacent to Weaver Dairy Road. Both buffers would be Town of Chapel Hill Type "C". (2) Orange County Planning Board condition #16 does not require that the proposed recreational facility be relocated from under the Duke Power easement or utility lines. The Planning Board agreed with the location as shown on the plat. (3) The Orange County Planning Board did not include Chapel Hill's conditions #21, 22, or 23 in their list of conditions. (4) The question of Sweeten Creek Road was not specifically addressed by Chapel Hill. It is addressed in Orange County's condition #6. A question arose concerning the design standards to which Sweeten Creek Road should be built. It was decided that Orange County condition #11 would be reworded to address the situation and substituted for Chapel Hill condition #9.
