ao - STATEMENT SUBMITTED BY UNITED PARCEL SERVICE United Parcel Service (UPS) is appreciative of the opportunity to participate in the 'Town. of Chapel Hill' s Small Area Planning Process, and, in particular, the Northwest Small Area Plan Work Group. We have attended some of the Group' s past meetings and have reviewed the July 19, 1994 draft of the Northwest Small Area Plan Report . At the outset, let us state that UPS supports the Group' s efforts and believe that we are in general agreement with the provisions of the Report . Our primary concern in this process is to assure that our present facility is in conformance with whatever zoning classification is ultimately adopted for our land. Our initial reading of the proposed Plan indicates that our land will be included in the "Employment Campus" zoning category. As you know, this is a new zoning category that will have to be defined. Our goal is to make sure that our present use will be permitted use within that category. Our present facility is what we call a Package Center and its characteristics are as follows : Approximately 75 employees An 18 , 000 sq. ft . office/warehouse facility located on approximately 8 3/4 acres . Packages are delivered each night from our regional distribution center (s) to the Package Center. Each weekday morning the delivered packages are sorted and loaded onto the package cars at the Package Center . (These are the brown vehicles you are use to seeing. ) The package cars leave the Package Center (normally before 9 : 00 A.M. ) to deliver and pick-up packages and return to the Package Center (beginning around 5 : 00 P .M. ) The picked-up packages are sorted and then delivered to the regional distribution center (s) and the process starts over again. There is a minimum amount of walk-in traffic during the day. On average, approximately 50 customers per day individually deliver packages to the Package Center .
