32 <br /> • The applicant did not speak at the Planning Board meeting. <br /> After discussing the request, and reviewing staff's recommendation, Board members voted <br /> unanimously to recommend denial of the Statement of Consistency (Attachment 8) and the <br /> proposed Zoning Atlas Amendment (Attachment 9). Excerpts of the minutes from the meeting, <br /> as well as the Board's signed statement of consistency, are included in Attachment 6. <br /> Agenda materials from the meeting can be viewed at: <br /> https://www.co.orange.nc.us/AgendaCenter/Planning-Board-26. <br /> Planning Director's Recommendation: The Planning Director recommends the request be <br /> denied due to the following: <br /> a. Extension of the Commercial Industrial Transition Activity Node (CITAN) is not viable at <br /> this time as the property cannot be provided with public water and wastewater services; <br /> b. The requested rezoning (i.e. R-1 to GC-4) cannot be approved without the extension of <br /> CITAN; <br /> c. The requested rezoning is inconsistent with the current policies of the adopted County <br /> Comprehensive Plan, the Town of Hillsborough/Orange County Central Orange <br /> Coordinated Area (COCA) Land Use Plan and the Water and Sewer Management, <br /> Planning and Boundary Agreement (WASMPBA); <br /> d. Existing agreement(s) between the County and the Town of Hillsborough do not identify <br /> this property as being suitable for high intensity residential and/or non-residential <br /> development. <br /> If amendment(s) to COCA and WASMPBA occur, specifically making the subject parcel <br /> suitable for service by public utilities, staff could make an affirmative recommendation on <br /> requested future land use map and rezoning amendments. These amendments would have to <br /> occur before such a recommendation could be made. <br /> Effect of Denial or Withdrawal: In the event the rezoning application is denied or withdrawn, it <br /> should be noted that Section 2.2.8 of the UDO states that no application for the same or similar <br /> amendment, affecting the same property or portion thereof, may be submitted for a period of <br /> one year. The one year period begins on the date of denial or withdrawal. <br /> Michael Harvey, Current Planning and Zoning Supervisor, made the following <br /> presentation: <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> AGENDA ITEM: 5-a <br /> PUBLIC HEARING <br /> Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and Zoning <br /> Atlas Amendment <br /> Richardson — NC Highway 86 <br /> Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> April 6, 2021 <br />
