REZONING REQUEST PROPERTY OF JAMES RAE FREELAND 1 Mr. James Rae Freeland is requesting that the zoning be changed on 35.11 acres of property located south of 1-85 on the west side of N.C. Highway 86. The property is shown as a Portion of lot 4 on Tax Map 45 - Hillsborough Township. The present zoning is Rural Residential CR-1) which would allow one (1) residen- tial dwelling lit per acre. The requested zoning is High Intensity Residential (Rr5) which would allow up to five (5) dwelling units per acre with a minimum lot size requirement of 7,500 square feet. Development of the tract at such densities could result in as many as 163 lots. Property to the north is zoned Rr1 Residential and contains scattered single- family homes. To the south is a 10-acre tract zoned R-4 Residential and under. develop- ment as a single-family subdivision. Property to the east is zoned R-2 Residential 1 and consists primarily of the Joppa Oaks Subdivision. Land to the west is vacant and zoned R-1 Residential. The Land Use Plan designation for the property was changed on March 7, 1983 from 20-Year Transition and Rural Residential to 10-Year Transition. The change was made in conjunction with a rezoning request for an R-4 designation on an adjacent lOracre tract to the smith presently called Wildwood Phase I. The intent of the R-5 district is to provide locations for high intensity resi- dential development and supporting recreational, community, service or educational uses in areas where the full range of urban services are available. 1 It is further intended that the R-5 district be used to promote economically- mixed housing and to contribute to the provision of a range of housing types for lower- income households. 1 The Zoning Ordinance states that this district will usually be applied where the following conditions exist: (1) The area is designated by the adopted Land Use Plan as a Transition Area which can reasonably be annexed by a municipality in the ensuing 10 •20 1 years.
