Statement of Justification 36 I am requesting a change in zoning for three lots in Cheeks Township( Map 31 Block A lots 9A, 11 & 17) The request is from R-1 Rural Residential District to R-4 Medium Intensity Residential . The property is designated in the Comprehensive Plan as a 10 year transition area.. Water and sewer lines currently serve the area proposed for rezoning. The property has direct road frontage on U. S. 70 for vehicular access. There is a Community Center, Community Park, and Elementary school within t mile of the property proposed to be rezoned which would serve the recreational and community service needs of the area. The area fire protection is provided by Efland Volunteer Eire Department. Police Protection is provided by Orange County Sheriffs Department. Orange Alamance Water System provides water service, and Orange County provides sewer service. (see attached letters from respective service providers) This request which will allow for medium intensity residential development and will be consistent with current zoning requirements as the lots proposed for rezoning meet the criteria outlined. The area is designated as a 10 year transition area and the existing development in the area is mixed from low intensity residential to medium intensity residential and scattered commerial,..this rezoning request will blend with the existing development. The major interstates 85 and 40 access this area and as the resulting residential growth occurs this medium intensity residential development-will also meet the needs of this population as the area becomes more urbanized. The number of units allowed under the R-4 designation and the small amount of land involved in this request will have very minimal impact on the service needed and the character of the Community,,thereby.approval of the change in-zoning. will allow .for reasonable development of my property.
