<br />MEMORANDUM <br />To: Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />Chapel Hill Town Council <br />Orange County Planning Board <br />John Link, Orange County Manager <br />W. Calvin Horton, Chapel Hill Town Manager <br />FROM: Orange County Planning Staff <br />Chapel Hill Planning Staff <br />DATE: October 15, 2003 <br />SUBJECT: Joint Planning Area Public Hearing, 10-15-2003: CHAPEL WATCH <br />VILLAGE ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENT -Proposed Amendment to the Joint Planning <br />Area Zoning Atlas <br />The purpose of this Joint Planning Area Public Hearing is to receive public comment on a <br />proposal to amend the Joint Planning Area (JPA) Zoning Atlas to change the zoning for a site <br />along Eubanks Road from the Residential-1 (R-1), Residential-2 (R-2), and Mixed-Use <br />Office/Institutional-1 (MU OI-1) zoning districts to the Residential-S-Conditional (R-S-C) <br />zoning district. The site is located in the Chapel Hill Joint Planning 'Transition Area, adjacent to <br />the existing Chapel Hill Corporate Limits. <br />Background <br />The Town of Chapel Hill has received an application for a Zoning Atlas Amendment to rezone a <br />35-acre site that is located south of Eubanks Road, directly opposite the Chapel Hill Park and <br />Ride Lot and east of the University Branch Southern Railroad. <br />The site is an assemblage of 3 parcels, is located within the Residential-1 (R-1), Residential-2 <br />(R-2), and Mixed-Use Office/Institutional-1 (MU OI-1) zoning districts, and is identified as <br />Chapel Hill Township Tax Map 18, Lots 15, 16, and 16A. (PIN Nos. 9870-87-1493, 9870-87- <br />5224, and 9870-97-1299). The property owner has requested that the site be rezoned from the <br />Residential-1 (R-1), Residential-2 (R-2), and Mixed-Use Office/Institutional-1 (MU OI-1) zoning <br />districts to the Residential-S-Conditional (R-S-C) zoning district. <br />The "conditional" designation means that, if the rezoning is approved, no development may <br />occur on the property unless the Chapel Hill Town Council approves a Special Use Permit. If a <br />Special Use Permit issued for a Conditional Use District is abandoned, revoked, or becomes <br />void, the conditional use zoning also becomes void and the property reverts to its previous <br />zoning classification. <br />
