M122 APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION DATE December 21 1.8 The Honorable Board of County Commissioners Orange County, North Carolina COMMISSIONERS: The undersigned request that property located on Tax Map Number . 37 Block number 45 , Lot number_fl . , Shown on-the accompanying plat, which is presently in a Agricultural Residential District be rezoned to Planned Development District for the following reasons: 1. We do not feel that the County Commissioners erred when applying the Agricul- tural Residental District to this property in 1981. However, the intent of the County Commissioners was to allow changes to the AR district where appro- priate and that most changes would be handled best as Planned Developments. 2. One of basic criterion for the selection of AR districts, areas where water distribution and sewage collection mains are not likely within 10-20 years, has changed. A community water and wastewater system is to be built to sup- port the proposed planned development. We would like to emphasize that the rezoning would not result in a higher density for the tract, but in fact would by the owner's decision be developed at less than the allowed density. 3. The proposed rezoning from AR District to Planned Development District will allow for the use of a portion of the owner's family farm's marginally productive farm land for housing purposes, while retaining the more productive lands on the property for continued agricultural and forestry uses. 4. This is an orderly and proper request which meets the performance criteria set out for Planned Developments and satisfies the related goals and objec- tives for AR Districts in the Comprehensive Plan for the County.
