14 <br /> G. Water and Sewer: Development of the property will rely on individual well and septic <br /> systems. The Property is not in an area served by public water/sewer. <br /> Surrounding Land Uses: <br /> North: 80 acre parcel with a go-kart race track zoned AR; <br /> South: Bacon Road and AR zoned property ranging in size from 1.8 to 18 acres in area. <br /> There is a 2 acre parcel with an existing single-family residence; <br /> West: NC Highway 57, an 8 acre parcel with a single-family residence split zoned AR and <br /> Existing Commercial (EC-5), the Orange County Speedway on a 118 acre parcel also zoned <br /> AR; and <br /> East: A 7.6 acre parcel with an existing concrete processing operation zoned AR, Mile Branch <br /> Road, and the Orange/Durham County line. <br /> Conditional Zoning (CZ) Process: This process involves approval of a rezoning petition and a <br /> professionally prepared site plan allowing for the development of a specific land use. <br /> Applications are processed in a legislative manner (i.e., does not require sworn testimony or <br /> evidence) and decisions are based on the BOCC's determination that the project is consistent <br /> with the purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and County regulations. The typical <br /> cadence for review is as follows: <br /> • First Action — Planning staff schedules a Neighborhood Information Meeting (NIM). <br /> Staff Comment— DONE. This meeting was held in an on-line format on December 17, 2020. <br /> No members of the public attended. Please refer to Attachment 5 for more detail. <br /> • Second Action —The Planning Board reviews the application at a regular meeting and <br /> makes a recommendation to the BOCC. <br /> Staff Comment— DONE. The Board reviewed this request at its January 6, 2021 regular <br /> meeting, where they unanimously recommended approval. No members of the public spoke on <br /> the rezoning application. <br /> • Third Action —The BOCC receives the Planning Board recommendation and makes a <br /> decision at a previously advertised public hearing. <br /> Staff Comment— Scheduled for February 2, 2021. <br /> If the public hearing is held remotely, there is a 24-hour waiting period required before a <br /> decision can be effective, as per State legislation regarding virtual/remote meetings. The <br /> purpose of the 24-hour waiting period is to allow for submission of written comments. <br /> Per Section 2.9.2 (F) (3) of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), mutually agreed upon <br /> conditions can be imposed as part this process only if they address: <br /> 1. The compatibility of the proposed development with surrounding property, <br /> 2. Proposed support facilities (i.e. roadways and access points, parking areas and <br /> driveways, pedestrian and vehicular circulation systems, screening and buffer areas, etc.), <br /> and/or <br /> 3. All other matters the County may find appropriate or the petitioner may propose. <br /> If approved, the Zoning Atlas will be amended and the zoning designation of the subject 7.37 <br /> acre portion of the Property shall be changed to REDA-CZ-1. Development, including permitted <br /> land uses, would be in accordance with the approved development proposal and conditions <br /> imposed as part of the atlas amendment process. <br /> Development of the Property shall be permitted only through the review and approval of site <br /> plan application(s) in accordance within Section 2.5 of the UDO. This is so staff can verify all <br /> imposed conditions are adhered to and allow for final review by members of the Development <br /> Advisory Committee (DAC) as detailed within Section 1.9 of the LIDO. <br /> Proposal: The applicant currently operates a self-storage facility on the property called <br /> Rougemont Self-Storage. As previously indicated herein, the self-storage operation is on a <br /> portion of property zoned REDA-CZ-1 while the southern portion of the parcel remains zoned <br />
