12 At the owner's request in 2016, this property was not considered for modification to allow for additional review of potential impacts. The owner has since submitted the required zoning atlas application seeking to proceed with a rezoning eliminating the existing split zoning of the property zoning the entire parcel EC-5. This is consistent with what staff originally proposed in 2016. It is unclear why the original zoning effort undertaken in the Bingham Township, which occurred in 1981, failed to capture the various non-residential land uses that were in existence on the property. This request, however, will address this matter by rezoning the property entirely to EC-5. Site specific information on the property, and request, is as follows: Township: PIN: Owner: Existing Zoning: Request: Bingham 9758-42-4098 Thomas Lawton Rural Buffer (RB) (2.65 Expand the existing EC-5 2616 Old Greensboro acres) zoning designation to the Chapel Hill, NC 27516 Existing Commercial entire parcel (4.08 acres) (EC-5) (1.43 acres) ensuring all structures associated with operation University Lake are located within the Protected Watershed appropriate district. Protection Overlay District For more information please refer to Attachment 1. As previously indicated, maps and survey denoting the subject property are contained within Attachments 2 and 3. Public Notifications: In accordance with Section 2.8.7 of the UDO, letter notices of the rezoning and the time location and nature upcoming Planning Board meeting were mailed to residents with 1,000 feet of the subject parcel. A sign indicating the rezoning request and Planning Board meeting was also posted on the property. JPA Review: This request is located within the Rural Buffer (RB) zoning district and within the Joint Planning Area (JPA) with Carrboro. In accordance with the provisions of the JPA, the Town of Carrboro was notified of this request on April 11, 2019. As of April 23, 2019, no comments have been received from the town. Planning Director's Recommendation: The Planning Director recommends approval of the Statement of Consistency, indicating the amendments are reasonable and in the public interest, contained in Attachment 4 and the proposed zoning atlas amendment ordinance contained in Attachment 5. The proposed atlas amendment addresses non-conformities associated with the existing land uses on property by extending the EC-5 zoning designation over the entire parcel. Further development/redevelopment of the property will need to abide by applicable development standards including required land use buffers and impervious surface limits. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Consideration and approval will not create the need for additional funding for the provision of County services. Costs for the required legal advertisement and mailings
