The following materials are presented in support of this applica- <br /> tion, <br /> as requirediby Section 20.3.2 of the Orange County Zoning Ordinance. <br /> 1 <br /> I <br /> a. A map of the area prepared for rezoning is attached. <br /> b. . Legal description of the area proposed for rezoning is attached. <br /> 1 <br /> c. The error in the Zoning Ordinance is as follows: <br /> 1 ' <br /> The Wildwood tract has good vehicular access, with NC 86 adjoining the <br /> east edge, and the NC 86/1-85 interchange being at the northeast corner <br /> of the tract. <br /> 1 <br /> The property should be zoned for higher and better usage than Rural <br /> District because it is located at a traffic mode and because higher <br /> density (and thus lower cost) housing is needed, and this land is well <br /> suited from the standpoint of transportation, utilities, and proximity <br /> to Hillsborough. <br /> d. The changing conditions: <br /> Hillsborough water and sewer have been extended onto the site, as part <br /> of the developMent of the southernmost 10 acres of Wildwood. The capaci- <br /> ties <br /> of the water and sewer extensions far exceeds the needs for the <br /> ultimate development of Wildwood, even utilizing the rezoning requested <br /> herein. <br /> e. Compatibility with the Comprehensive Plan <br /> The site is locted in an area which, in the Comprehensive Plan, is <br /> designated "10-year transition" for urban use; thus high-density <br /> residential use is compatible with the Plan. <br /> I PREPARED BY: <br /> I 4, 'PT Thum — ...— —m s..—.. — _ <br /> --. .1 _ . <br />
