Approved 11/6/13 2 AGENDA ITEM 6: CHAIR COMMENTS 55 56 Agenda Item 7: Zoning Atlas Amendment – To make a recommendation to the BOCC on a property owner-57 initiated amendment to the Zoning Atlas to rezone a 2.67 parcel of property located at 3604 58 Southern Drive (PIN 9844-86-5155) from Rural Residential (R-1) and Light Industrial (I-1) to Light 59 Industrial (I-1). This item was heard at the September 9, 2013 quarterly public hearing. 60 Presenter: Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor 61 62 Michael Harvey: (Reviewed abstract). We have provided a synopsis of the questions asked at the public hearing. A 63 Commissioner wanted staff to clarify if this property was in an overlay zoning district specifically a watershed overlay zoning 64 district which it is, Upper Eno Protected, that means there is going to be impervious surface limits imposed on any 65 expansion of this property. There was also a question asked if the rezoning of this parcel would have an impact on any 66 property surrounding, and the answer is no. The only public comment I have received from the public hearing is a call from 67 Miss May who live right here (pointed out on location map), who expressed consternation that I made Mr. Keizer go through 68 this process at all. You have a planning staff recommendation of approval and the rationale for our decision is the 69 application was submitted in compliance with the UDO, the property is of sufficient size to be rezoned as requested, and the 70 rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map, the Growth Management System Map, and the 71 adopted Efland-Mebane Small Area Plan. 72 73 MOTION made by Tony Blake to approve Attachments 2 and 3 to rezone the Keizer property a 2.67 acre parcel of property 74 located at 3604 Southern Drive. Seconded by Maxecine Mitchell. 75 76 VOTE: Unanimous 77 78 Agenda Item 8: Zoning Atlas Amendment – To make a recommendation to the BOCC on a property owner-79 initiated amendment to the Zoning Atlas to rezone 2 parcels of property, totaling approximately 16 80 acres in land area, from Rural Residential (R-1) and Light Industrial (I-1) to Light Industrial (I-1). The 81 parcels are undeveloped and without an assigned street address but are located east and south of 82 the USA Dutch property at 3604 Southern Drive. This item was heard at the September 9, 2013 83 quarterly public hearing. 84 Presenter: Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor 85 86 Michael Harvey: (Reviewed abstract). 87 88 Maxecine Mitchell: Are they on septic there? 89 90 Michael Harvey: They’re still on septic, however, sewer and utilities ought to be available in the near future. If it is available 91 they obviously could tie in if they go through the appropriate process. 92 93 Tony Blake: They have not purchased this property yet? 94 95 Michael Harvey: No, and as we stipulated at the public hearing, they have an offer to purchase and have signed a contract 96 to purchase contingent upon this rezoning going through. 97 98 Lisa Stuckey: Is this is the rural buffer? 99 100 Michael Harvey: No. This is rural residential zoning. 101 102 Maxecine Mitchell: Will this company’s future expansion create more job opportunities and is this something we should take 103 into consideration for this proposal? 104 105 Michael Harvey: It shouldn’t be part of the consideration but Mr. Kizer did make comment at the public hearing that 106 additional jobs would be created. 107 108
