The property is owned by Nello L. Teer Company, and the request was presented at public hearing on August 28 1989. - BACKGROUND: The property is located on the west side of I -40, between New Hope Church Road and Old NC 86. It is known as Lot 1D and a portion of Lot 12 of Tax Map 9, and Lot 21 of Tax Map 2 of Chapel Hill Township. The total area proposed for rezoning is 265.38 acres. The present zoning is Rural Buffer (RB). The applicant is requesting that the area be rezoned to Agricultural Residential (AR). The property is designated as Rural Buffer in both the Land Use Element of the Orange County Comprehensive Plan and in the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan. If approved, the requested rezoning would decrease the minimum lot size from two acres to 40,000 square feet. Both the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan and the Orange County Comprehensive Plan identify the Rural Buffer as being of "very low density ". The Rural Buffer district was established and implemented in order to carry out the intent of both Plans. If approved, the requested rezoning would also permit uses which are not compatible with low density
