September 18 , 1995 Planning Board Minutes (draft) 20 AGENDA ITEM #9: MATTERS HEARD AT PUBLIC HEARING (8/28/95) a. Amendments - Economic Development Districts ( 1) CP-1-95 I-40/Old NC 86 EDD (Comprehensive Plan Amendment) (2) Z-6-95 I-40/Old NC 86 EDD (Zoning Atlas Amendment) Presentation of these items by Mary Willis.

At issue are two properties split by the EDD boundary between Primary and Secondary Development Areas. Allen and Sally Ann Addison own a 114-acre parcel in the northwest quadrant of the EDD. Approximately 80 acres of the Addison property on the east side of Cates Creek was included in the EDD as Primary Development Area. The property owner has requested that the portion of the lot located on the west side of Cates Creek also be included in the EDD. The area in question contains about 34 acres. It is bounded by I-40 to the south and west, and Cates Creek and the boundary of the existing EDD to the east. The property to the north is zoned R-3 and is currently undeveloped. It may be developed later as a part of Cornwallis Hills. Although steep slopes will create more development constraints on the west side of Cates Creek than the flatter area found on the east side, non-residential development could occur to the extent that the provisions of the EDD Design Manual allow. Residential development is less desirable and feasible due to the location of the area adjacent to both I-40 and the existing EDD. Access could be provided either by a frontage
