through onsite solutions such as composting and recycling of not only mandatory recyclables but also comprehensive collection of all recyclable and reusable materials. Indoor Quality. Building products, design and construction techniques will be selected to provide comfort, well- being, and productivity of occupants, especially for indoor air, thermal and lighting quality. This will include reduction in volatile organic compounds and other air impurities, and control of moisture accumulation /water intrusion that could lead to mold growth and other microbiological concerns. Transportation. Hart's Mill will actively promote ride sharing and plans to maintain at least one community -owned vehicle, thereby reducing the need for residents to own extra private vehicles for occasional use. The community will endeavor to provide many opportunities for multigenerational onsite living and working that minimize the need for commuting, running errands, and seeking entertainment and other social needs off site. 2) The use will maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property. An assessment of potential economic impact on surrounding properties and the community as a whole was conducted by Scott Dorsett, a Realtor and real estate appraiser based in Hillsborough, NC. He states in his letter of finding dated May 3, 2015, "I see no adverse effect on any surrounding properties, and to the contrary: this community, once completed will be a thriving, productive, environmentally efficient, taxpaying entity that Orange County can be proud of. ...Hart's Mill may very well serve as a blueprint for future communities in the County." 3) The location and character of the use, if developed according to the plan submitted, will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located and the use is in compliance with the plan for the physical development of the county as embodied in these regulations or in the Comprehensive Plan, or portion thereof, adopted by the Board of Commissioners. This proposal conforms to the vision and goals for the area surrounding the property as set forth in the Orange County Land Use Plan. The Cheeks Township area is identified in the Comprehensive Plan as one of the fastest growing areas of the County. The subject site is located in a 20 -year Transition Area, which is defined in the Comprehensive Plan as "an area changing from rural to urban in form and density' and for which "all densities of residential development would be appropriate."
