The <br /> property is located west of the present Wildwood Subdivision <br /> off N.C. 86 in Hillsborough Township . <br /> The property is designated Ten Year Transition in the Land <br /> Use Plan. The present zoning of the property is <br /> Residential -2 (R-2) . The applicant is requesting that the <br /> zoning classification be changed to Residential -4 ( R-4) . <br /> A similar request (R-1 to R-4) was made by the applicant in <br /> November, 1985. In response to a Town of Hillsborough <br /> recommendation (either R-2 or R-3) , topographic constraints <br /> and traffic concerns, the Board of Commissioners approved <br /> changing the zoning designation from R-1 to R-2. <br /> Development of the tract will have impacts on water and <br /> sewer facilities, and the ability of streets to handle <br /> projected traffic volumes. These impacts as well as others <br /> are identified and discussed in the attached Planning Staff <br /> report. <br />
