SITE DEVELOPMENT 1- COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS To give some indication of the impact of development of the 44.8 acre tract, the density standards, of the R-1 and R-8 zoning districts were applied to determine the maximum number of housing units which could be placed on the site. Standards for estimating traffic generation, water consumption, sewage flow and school student population were then applied to ascertain the effect of the project on thoroughfares public utility systems and schools. These calculations are shown on the accompanyin table and discussed in the "Application Criteria" section. APPLICATION CRITERIA • The R-8 zoning district is one of three (3) districts designated as "high intensity residential districts". The purpose of such districts is to provide locations for high intensity relsidential development and supporting recreational, community, servi e or educational uses in areas where the full range of urban services are available. 1 Section 4.2.4 of the Zoning Ordinance states that the district designation will be applied where the following conditions exist: 1 1. Designated by the adopted Land Use Plan as a Transition Area which can reasonably be annexed by a municipality in the ensuing 10-20 years. Staff Comment: As indicated previously, the Land Use Plan indicates the designation of the subject property as being 10-Year Trans on. Given the pattern of existing development within the area, it is reasonable to assume that annexation of the property by the Town of Chapel Hill would occur within 10-20 years. • 2. Water and sewer lines should exist at site or be assured of installation as part of the development process. Staff Comment: Water and sewer lints would be _extended at the develop'er's expense tO serve the property.
