00571 APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION • DATE Decer____L--Lber The Honorable Board of County Commissioners Orange County, North Carolina COMMISSIONERS: The undersigned request that property located on Tax Map Number 3'7 Block number 45 , Lot number . , Shown onnthe 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 t related goals and objec- tives for AR Districts in the Comprehensive Plan for the County.
