11 (c) Orange County Water and Sewer Management Planning and Boundary Agreement: Staff has determined that the proposed rezoning request is consistent with the existing Water and Sewer Management Planning and Boundary Agreement (WASMPBA) as contained in Appendix G of the Comprehensive Plan. As previously indicated this area is located within The County's Transition Area and within an Economic Development Activity Node. The area in question is also located within an identified Orange County Primary Service Area per the Water and Sewer Management Plaiu~.ing and Boundary Agreement. This agreement is between the County and various utility providers (i.e. the Town's of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough, the City of Mebane, OWASA, and Orange Alamance) identifying areas that will be served through public utility systems. In consultation with the County Engineer and the City of Mebane, water and sewer services can be provided to support this project. The applicant will be required to make modifications to existing service lines in order to accommodate the proposed development. This information is referenced within the applicants Utility Master Plan contained within the project narrative. Staff has determined, based on all the information referenced herein, that this area is intended for service by a public utility system and that the proposed rezoning application only allows ~ for the development of the property consistent with the established water/sewer boundary agreement. (d) Road way improvements and mass transit facilities: The application for the rezoning contains a Traffic Impact Analysis in Appendix D. This study has identified numerous roadway improvernerits that will have to be completed by the applicant prior to any commercial operation commencing on the property. The applicant is also proposing to develop buss stops facilities on the property to make the project assessable to mass transit. Staff has determined that the information is sufficient to make a positive recommendation, finding, that the project will be accessible from major roadways and have suitable access from mass transit. (e) Adequacy of evidence of unified control: Chapter Six (6) Ownership and Management of the project narrative (pages fifty- one (51) through fifty-two (52)) establish the parameters that will govern the development of this project. The applicant is proposing to establish deed restrictions on the development of the project to require compliance with all proposed design elements and standards as contained within the application. The applicant is also proposing to post any and all necessary bonds or letter of credit to ensure any required improvement to existing infrastzucture (i.e. roadway or utility improvements) will be completed in order to allow for the development of the property.
