026 ADDENDUM DE C.E IiVIE TO ZONING REQUEST r1/:G �70 ON APPROXIMATELY 103 ACRES KNOWN AS "THE BEARD TRACT" Proposed amendment to the zoning atlas is reasonably necessary to promote public health, safety, and general welfare, for the following reasons: 1. The proposed zoning changes to I-1 as shown on the map in the application would allow for high quality industrial development which could not have any adverse impact beyond the immediate space occupied by the building. 2. The major transportation corridor overlay lies across most of this his this property and all site plans will have to be approved before any building can begin. 3. A large portion of this property is not sought to be rezoned. This is an order to provide a scenic overlook at the lake for most of the complex, to also to provide possible recreation facilities later on for the industries that locate on the property, and to buffer the residential housing on Highway 70. 4. In order to attract high quality office use, we are seeking to buffer the office institutional property from Hines Liner Company which is presently an I-3 zoning and from the Interstate. The offices institutional request will not result in higher volume traffic office use but would be suitable for attracting such uses as central clearing houses for insurance companies, pension companies, and mortgage bankers. • This proposed amendment will carry out the intent and purpose of the adoptive comprehensive plan because it lies within an industrial transition node. It is further to be noted that while the requests of the rezonings do. not require water and sewer hook-up, we will seek to to provide the same in order to get quality occupants. This results in increasing revenue for the Town of Hillsborough and allowing its water and sewer plant to come closer to capacity, and also results in the extension in sewer and water lines that will be available to other parcels in the County. We requested from the Town of Hillsborough a letter as to availability of water and sewer but as we were unable to obtain the same by the application deadline date we cannot be certain that they will supply water and sewer service. Other circumstances and factors in reasons which support the proposed amendment are: 1. The recent close downs in textile industry in the area which have produced unemployment in the blue collar ranks. 2. Many national companies are looking to relocating in the triangle area and this plan offers good transportation facilities, adequate utilities on an exceptionally beutiful site. 3. This rezoning could greatly increase the tax base for both the County and the town of Hillsborough.
