BACKGROUND: Hancor is a plastic pipe manufacturing facility located on the south side of Highway 70 between Efland and Mebane. The Hancor property contains 15.9 acres, extending from Highway 70 to the Southern Railroad at a depth of about 1100 .feet. The existing structures, which include a 9000 square foot manufacturing building and several metal buildings, all are located on the southernmost 150 ' of the property, adjacent to the railroad. Most of the remainder of the property is used for storage of manufactured materials prior to shipping. Surrounding land uses include undeveloped property to the north, a 9 acre residential lot to the east, additional Hancor property to the south, and the Orange-Alamance Water System to the west. Except for the I-1 Light Industrial zoning of the balance of the Hancor property, the surrounding area is zoned R-1 (Rural Residential) . In 1984, when Cheeks Township was first zoned, 11. 6 acres of the Hancor property was zoned E-I (Existing Industrial) . The zoning lot corresponded with the land area used by Hancor at that time. In 1987, the site was rezoned from E-I to I-1 (Light Industrial) as part of a comprehensive rezoning of Cheeks Township. The change to I-1 was made because the Commercial/Industrial Transition area in the Land Use Plan was expanded to include the Hancor site and thus the I-1 zoning was consistent with the new Land Use Plan designation.
