NC Highway 57 Speedway Area Small Area Plan <br />a. The BOCC and the Planning Board shall review the application at one of the four <br />quarterly public hearings held each calendar year. Hearings are open to the public and <br />comments from local residents and property owners would be encouraged, <br />b. Local residents and property owners shall be informed of the meeting through publication <br />of legal ads within local newspapers and through first class mailings from the County <br />issues to all residents and property owners within five hundred (500) feet from the subject <br />property, <br />c. The process would require the review of a site specific development proposal outlining <br />the actual location of all proposed building and land uses as well as involve a request to <br />rezone the property to the appropriate district, <br />d. Through the Conditional Use review process, the BOCC and the Planning Board can <br />impose additional conditions on a proposed development project to address potential <br />ancillary impacts generated by the proposed land use, <br />e. Once the public hearing has occurred, the request shall be forwarded to the Planning <br />Board and any other necessary advisory boards, such as the EDC, for review and <br />comment. The Planning Board can recommend approval, approval with conditions, or <br />denial to the BOCC, <br />f. The BOCC would then make a final decision concerning the acceptability of the <br />proposed development based on the testimony of local residents, property owners, the <br />applicant, and all other individuals who make comments during the review period as well <br />as the Action Statements and goals of the Small Area Plan, <br />g. Through the Conditional Permit process, the property owner / applicatant will receive <br />permission to develop the property according to the approved development plans. Any <br />alteration or modification of the plans will have to be reviewed by the County in the same <br />process outlined above, <br />h. The approval of a development application through this process shall only allow the <br />property owner /applicant to develop the approved use. No other land use shall be <br />permitted for development unless it receives approval from the County through the <br />process outlined above, <br />i. The use of the property does not go with the land, meaning that if the property is sold the <br />new property owner shall be required to obtain a Conditional Use Permit from the County <br />to operate the non - residential land use. The approval of a Conditional Use Permit does <br />not automatically confer the ability to continue the existing non - residential use to new <br />property owners, <br />j. The Conditional Use Permit can be revoked if the County discovers that the property <br />owner is not abiding by any condition imposed on the permit by the County. <br />42 <br />
