9 2 . PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION - PD-1-87 FLOWERS MOBILE HOME PARK Staff presentation by Marvin Collins. This agenda item is to receive citizen comment on a proposed Planned Development - Mobile Home Park. Flowers Mobile Home Park is an existing park located in Eno Township on the west side of Mt. Hermon Church Road (SR 1812) . The proposed Planned Development - Mobile Home Park would be an expansion of the existing park, involving the addition of 25 mobile home spaces to 43 existing units. The tract on which the park addition is to be located consists of 25 acres west of and adjacent to the existing park. The property is currently zoned Residential-1 (R-1) and is designated Rural Residential in the Land Use Plan. The property is also located in the Major Transportation Corridor (MTC) adjacent to I-85. The requested designation is PD-MHP-R-1 which requires the approval of a Special Use Permit and compliance with specific development standards for mobile home parks and planned developments in general. The application is the first to be considered which employs the new mobile home park standards adopted in March, 1987. Article 8. 2 .2 of the Zoning Ordinance states that where a preponderance of evidence indicates compliance with the general standards, specific rules governing the specific use, and that the use complies with all required regulations and standards, the application must be approved unless it is found, in some specific manner, that: 1. The use will not promote the public health, safety and general welfare if located where proposed and developed and operated according to the plan as submitted; 2 . The use will not maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property; or 3 . The use is not in compliance with the general plans for the physical development of the county as embodied in these regulations or in the Comprehensive Plan, or portion thereof, adopted by the Orange County Board of Commissioners. The burden of proving one or more of the above findings is on those opposing the application. The proof must also be in the form of competent material and substantial evidence. No information has been received which would establish grounds for making one or more of the above findings. The Planning Staff has reviewed the application, the site plan and supporting documentation and found the applicant in general compliance with the standards, specific rules and required regulations. The Planning Staff has made, however, negative findings with respect to certain required standards and/or regulations. These negative findings may be addressed through conditions of approval attached to the Special Use Permit. For this reason, the Planning Staff recommends approval of
