Form Revised 09-29-16 <br /> <br />development within the HP-CZD conditional zoning district. <br /> <br />2. Analysis <br />As required under Section 2.8.5 of the UDO, the Planning Director is required to: <br />‘cause an analysis to be made of the application and, based upon that analysis, <br />prepare a recommendation for consideration by the Planning Board and the Board of <br />County Commissioners’. <br />The County has begun investigating opportunities to develop affordable housing units <br />on County owned property. These units would be in addition to other existing, or <br />proposed, County operated facilities (i.e. government offices, parks, etc.) located on <br />the same property. <br />Staff was tasked with reviewing the development of a Home Park on 70 acres of <br />property off Millhouse Road, currently slated for development as a park. The 2 <br />parcels, further identified utilizing Orange County Parcel Identification Numbers <br />(PINs) 9871-51-9160 and 9871-60-7301, are currently zoned Rural Buffer (RB) and <br />would have to be rezoned to HP-CZD to accommodate the development of the Home <br />Park. <br />Parks and government facilities are not listed as permitted uses of property within the <br />HP-CZD. If the properties were rezoned, the proposed park could not be developed <br />as currently designed. <br />The proposed amendment will address this issue by allowing for the development of <br />parks and government facilities within the District. <br /> <br /> <br />3.
