Specifically, the applicant is requesting to rezone a 16.45 acre, <br />split zoned, parcel of property: <br />From: Rural Residential (R-1) (14.57 acres); and Neighborhood Commercial (NC-2) <br />(1.88 acres). <br />To: General Commercial (GC-4) <br />BACKGROUND: This property was originally split zoned Neighborhood Commercial (NC-2) and <br />Rural Residential (R-1) when zoning for Cheeks Township was established in 1984. As was <br />common practice at that time previous staff identified non-residential zoning district boundaries <br />in a manner that encompassed only the actual land use (e.g. buildings) while excluding other <br />areas, most notably parking, septic fields and/or required land use buffers. <br />This parcel, further identified utilizing Orange County Parcel Identification Number (PIN) 9834- <br />25-2573, is 16.45 acres in area and is split zoned with approximately 14.57 acres zoned Rural <br />Residential (R-1) and 1.88 acres zoned Neighborhood Commercial (NC-2). The NC-2 zoned <br />portion of property contains a pole barn and a non-residential structure. Both of these <br />structures are utilized to support contracting, storage, landscaping and agricultural uses. The <br />R-1 zoned portion of the property contains an older farm related storage structure previously <br />used to support agricultural uses on the property. <br />For more information on current conditions, please refer to maps contained within <br />Attachment(s) 2 and 3. <br />In 2016, staff initiated a review of 23 properties throughout the Cheeks Township that were <br />either: <br /> 7
