Rezooiog-oJ_tbe Propezty_of DenoJz-BoualI-jn_ampel'211.1-Tu3ozuid�� from R-I to CC3 Community Commercial 3 Jeff Coutu made the presentation. (see pages _c4 -r7 of this book) The property is located on the south side of Weaver oaicy Road and on the west side of NC 86, tax map, lots 27, 27C and 27o. The request is to enable commercial development and that the purpose of the Community Commercial-III (CC-3) District is to provide suitable size sites for commercial, office and service uses including limited automotive, convenience, durable goods, and other similar uses. The site is designated in the Orange County Land Use Plan as 10-Year Transition and as a Commercial Transition activity node. The applicant is requesting a "General Use" zoning designation, not a planned development category. The request is thus at variance with Section 4.2,I0(6)2 of the Zoning Ordinance. Water and sewer lines are available to serve rinbezlyoe Shopping Center and could be extended to this site. A 16-inch water main exists on Weaver Dairy Road, while an 8-inch sewer line is available in Banks Drive adjacent to Timberlyne. The site has direct access onto NC 86 and Weaver Dairy Road, and both roads are designated as arterial streets in the Land Use Plan. In 1983 the average daily traffic on NC 86 was 8,976 vehicles per day and 3100 on Weaver Dairy Road per day- mr.cvotu submitted for the record comments from the Chapel Hill Planning Department. (see page4/9~51 of this book) A person from the audience asked if it was ever established if there was access from the corner to uo' Kenneth Cheek, resident of Weaver Dairy Road spoke to traffic problems and the unwillingness of Chapel Hill to solve them. Robert Page, representing mc, and mcs, Howell, stated that since the present Zoning Ordinance lays the groundwork for change in zoning classfication and since the Ordinance was passed in September, 1981 there is justification for the reclassification from R1 to CC3. The three criteria for considering a zoning amendment are: (1) to correct a manifest error in the chapter, (2) to accommodate changing conditions, and (3) to achieve the purposes of the comprehensive land use plan of Orange CuontI. The Ordinance further states that if amended, it should be amended as reasonably necessary to promote public health, etc. Mr. Page stated that their is no existing use of the site at this time. Two large buildings are not presently in use. To rehabilitate the buildings would not justify the cost and this land is not now economically rnntinne in sinole family residential use.
