'J0O4() <br /> ORANGE COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT <br /> HILLSBOROUGH <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> 27278 <br /> 60111 ./ <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: TONY LAWS <br /> FROM : SUSAN SMITH <br /> DATE: JANUARY 17, 1 ' =13 <br /> SUBJECT: BUCKHORN JOCKEY LOT REZONING <br /> Your January 17, 1988 comment on the rezoning request submitted by <br /> Orange County Investors has been received . However we request that your <br /> office review and provide further comment on the application for the general <br /> rezoning from Residential-1 to General Commercial — IV (GC-4) . <br /> For your information a general rezoning request , if approved, <br /> establishes a zoning district for an undeveloped parcel without specific <br /> development plans known at the time the request is considered by the Board . <br /> Once rezoned the owner of the subject parcel may either request a building <br /> permit for a structure used for any of the purposes Listed under uses <br /> "permitted by right" or may subdivide the property (if Lot area permits) into <br /> individual Lots for which a number of building permits for the same or <br /> different uses could be requested . The process provides for staff review of <br /> the application and pertinent materials (including , but not Limited to , site <br /> plans and improvements permits) , but limits the types of improvements that <br /> can be imposed on the applicant . <br /> In regards to the need for comment from your agency , the Zoning <br /> Ordinance requires as a criteria for rezoning that either water and sewer <br /> lines exist at the site (or be made available as part of the development <br /> process) or the Lot size for individual uses is appropriate to the method of <br /> water supply and sewage disposal (ie . either on—site individual or community <br /> systems) . The applicant has submitted no documentation addressing the <br /> former , but has submitted a Letter from your office indicating the existing <br /> system is functioning properly . This comment does not address the capacity <br /> of the soil to handle further wastewater or provide additional well sites for <br /> an expansion of the existing use or the development of one or more of the <br /> uses permitted by right in the district . (See the attached List of permitted <br /> uses in the GC-4 district] <br /> Please provide further comment which addresses this matter so that <br /> additional guidance can be provided to the Board of Commissioners in their <br /> deliberation on this request . <br /> Thank you . <br />
