Approved 3.3.21 113 114 AGENDA ITEM 7: CHAIR COMMENTS 115 116 117 AGENDA ITEM 8: ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENT(REDA—CZ-1) —ROUGEMONT SELF STORAGE—To review and make a 118 recommendation to the BOCC on an applicant initiated zoning atlas amendment to expand an existing 119 conditional zoning district called REDA-CZ-1 (NC Highway 57 Speedway Area Rural Economic 120 Development Area Conditional Zoning). The proposed expansion is located at 8927 Mile Branch Road in 121 Little River Township on a 21.54 acre parcel of land. The parcel is currently zoned REDA-CZ- 1 and 122 Agricultural Residential. The applicant is seeking to rezone the Agricultural Residential acreage so that 123 the entire parcel is in the REDA-CZ-1 district allowing for an expansion of the existing self-storage 124 operation. This item is scheduled for BOCC public hearing on February 2, 2021. 125 Presenter: Michael Harvey,Current Planning Supervisor 126 127 Michael Harvey Presented a PowerPoint Presentation to the Planning Board. 128 129 Chad Abbott: Good evening everyone, I'm Chad Abbott of C3 Design and Engineering and I represent Mr. Chandler,the 130 applicant, on this project. I also worked on the previous project. I feel like what you have before you is a pretty 131 straightforward project. It is an expansion of an existing use so the typical questions that come up about allowing a use in 132 a certain area have already been decided upon in the past and have had no negative impacts on the surrounding 133 properties and no negative input from any surrounding property owners either first-hand or at the Neighborhood 134 Information Meeting (NIM). We have adhered to all the previous conditions imposed on the original development and will 135 continue to adhere to those same conditions upon development on this property as proposed. We respectively request 136 your recommendation for approval and I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. 137 138 David Blankfard: Did anyone show up from the neighborhood at the NIM? 139 140 Chad Abbott: No Sir. 141 142 Melissa Poole: If I may,this is in my district and I'm very familiar with this area and I am familiar with the storage facility 143 there. There are not a lot of homes that are sitting directly adjacent to this project. I am good with moving forward. 144 145 Kim Piracci: I have a question, it looks like there is a pond across the street,what is that. 146 147 Chad Abbott: It is a farm pond, it's across the road. It's agriculturally zoned land, I don't know what they use it for. 148 149 Michael Harvey pulled up the GIS system to view the area/pond in question and clarified it is believed to be an amenity or 150 recreation pond as available data does not indicate there is a stream or other water feature connecting the pond to the 151 Chandler property east of NC Highway 57. 152 153 Kim Piracci: That's not going to be affected by the septic system? 154 155 Michael Harvey: No, it shouldn't. As indicated on the map, there does not appear to be a water feature identified in 156 County GIS connecting the pond to Mr. Chandler's property east of NC Highway 57. The Environmental Assessment work 157 also did not indicate any water connectivity between the property and the aforementioned pond. We have some of the 158 existing stormwater control measures that were required for the first phase of the project when we began working with Mr. 159 Chandler, he has determined it would be in his best interest and would help with his stormwater as well as shielding his 160 property,to preserve this area of existing foliage. Pointed out other features, septic fields, residents, rock quarry. 161 162 Michael Harvey concluded his PowerPoint Presentation 163 164 MOTION by Randy Marshall to approve the Statement of Consistency indicating that the Zoning Atlas Amendments are 165 reasonable and in the public interest as contained in Attachment 7 and recommend approval that the ordinance amending 166 the Zoning Atlas as well as the imposing development conditions for the identified parcel as contained in Attachment 8. 167 Seconded by Melissa Poole. 168
