000 1 5 7 <br /> STATEMENT OF JUSTIFICATION <br /> Subject property is located in a Rural Community node contained <br /> in the County's adopted Land Use Plan and centered at Orange <br /> Grove Road (SR #1958) and N. C. Route 54. Its cluarter mile <br /> radius extends beyond this property thereby encompassing it as <br /> a part of the node. <br /> The proposed uses, offices, would provide a source of employment <br /> for persons in this section of the County. <br /> The Owner of the subject property also owns the adjacent property <br /> which is zoned GC-4 which presently contains a mail order <br /> facility and the offices of several corporations of the Owner. <br /> The Owner row proposes to expand the office facility totally within <br /> the parcel now zoned GC-4. Parking and the septic drainage <br /> field serving these offices are proposed on the subject property, <br /> adjacent to the existing facility. Present County Regulations <br /> require that these uses occupy land zoned in the same manner <br /> as would permit the principal use generating the parking and/or <br /> septic field. Thus this rezoning request is being made. <br /> This property has been inspected by the County Sanitarian who <br /> has found that the size and configuration of this lot is appropriate <br /> to the method of water supply and sewerage disposal serving <br /> the uses proposed for these lots. <br /> This request is to rezone 4.54 acres of land to Local Commercial <br /> (LC-1). Since there is no additional land zoned LC-1 within <br /> this activityl node, the proposed rezoning is within the five acre <br /> limit set fo rural areas where a lower population density exists. <br /> The criteria for establishing Local Commercial Zones requires <br /> that such sites shall have direct access to a street classified <br /> as an arterial or a collector. This parcel is fronting on NC <br /> Route 54 which is an arterial designated in the County's Adopted <br /> Land Use Plan. <br /> In summary, this request conforms to al I criteria set in the <br /> Orange County Zoning Ordinance for application of Local Commercial <br /> - 1 (LC-1) Districts. I t is respectful ly requested that the County <br /> Board of Commissioners rezone this property accordingly. <br /> • <br /> . . <br />
