By definition, Rural Neighborhood Activity <br /> Nodes are defined as 1/4-mile in radius, located at the intersections of <br /> arterial or collector roads. <br /> This amendment is a principal amendment to the plan, since it proposes <br /> creation of a new activity node. On May 3, the Board of Commissioners <br /> agreed to hear this amendment at this time upon request by the <br /> applicant. <br /> Creation of a new Rural Neighborhood Activity Node would allow up to <br /> five acres each of Local Commercial-1 and Neighborhood Commercial-2 <br /> zoning. The property is currently zoned AR, and is within the Protected <br /> Watershed-II overlay district for Cane Creek watershed. It is located <br /> outside of the Water Quality Critical Area for Cane Creek Reservoir. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Applications for amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and/or Zoning <br /> Atlas by an individual or agency are treated in the same manner; e.g., the <br /> public hearing is the time for the presentation of the Zoning Officer's <br /> analysis and recommendation concerning the requests. <br />
