Approved 9.7.22 <br /> 113 David Blankfard: Applicant,what is your vision for the building. <br /> 114 <br /> 115 Ross Godwin: The intent is to put a general retail store there. The building is typically about 10,000 sq.ft.,typically on about <br /> 116 an acre and a half. <br /> 117 <br /> 118 Randy Marshall: Our deliberations are solely based on changing the zoning without any acknowledgement of what is going to <br /> 119 be there and even if we were told, it could change. All this discussion would take place when they come back to submit a site <br /> 120 plan and all the regulations would be discussed at that point, not at this point. We are talking about issues that are beyond the <br /> 121 scope of our deliberations. We are talking here about making a zoning change without taking into account what development <br /> 122 might come in. It's the way the process works. It is a separate process to discuss what will go there. I don't think we should <br /> 123 get ahead of ourselves and I think a lot of people here believe they have an idea of what is coming there but that is not to be <br /> 124 taken into consideration in our deliberations tonight. The argument about what should go there is not part of our decision. It <br /> 125 would be future decisions about what is permitted or not permitted. <br /> 126 <br /> 127 Beth Bronson: I'm in agreement with what Randy has stated in that this is a rezoning of the portions of the parcel that are <br /> 128 Agricultural Residential currently while there is existing NC-2 on that corner of the one single lot. It is in a Rural Activity Node <br /> 129 and there are multiple businesses that are zoned for commercial use within a Rural Commercial Activity Node and there is a <br /> 130 Rural Neighborhood Node further down the road on 54 as well. There are future land use plans for that intersection at White <br /> 131 Cross based on what has already been zoned in that area. I want to ask if you (David) if NC-2 could be recommended but not <br /> 132 the LC-1 or portions or what use it could actually be. <br /> 133 <br /> 134 David Blankfard: What I was thinking was that we limit the building construction to being in what is now NC-2 and have <br /> 135 parking in what is proposed to be changed to LC-1. <br /> 136 <br /> 137 Pat Mallett: Back when zoning was applied in this township for the first time and throughout the County they would draw a <br /> 138 zoning line around the building and maybe parking and there are numerous instances where they didn't even capture the <br /> 139 parking. If it were being zoned for the first time now it would be all or nothing and the entire parcel would be zoned the same. <br /> 140 In addition to that there is a policy that the building use and the parking is part of that use and well and septic have to be on <br /> 141 the commercially zoned portion of the property. <br /> 142 <br /> 143 Beth Bronson: If they were to rezone part of the AR to NC-2, it would max out the amount of NC-2 allowed, 10 acres? <br /> 144 <br /> 145 Brian Collie: For NC-2,for LC-1 there would be 1.34 acres left out of 10 acres for LC-1 for that node. <br /> 146 <br /> 147 Perdita Holtz: For the Conventional Districts but there are other ways to do things with Conditional Districts; the Node <br /> 148 maximums do not apply to Conditional Zoning, only to Conventional Zoning. <br /> 149 <br /> 150 Adam Beeman: Conditional District allow us to set conditions? This one we don't have that ability. <br /> 151 <br /> 152 Perdita Holtz: That's correct. <br /> 153 <br /> 154 Beth Bronson: For that list of what is prohibited in LC-1 and NC-2,for our reference where can we find that Table of Permitted <br /> 155 Uses. <br /> 156 <br /> 157 Brian Collie: On the website under Section 5.2 of the UDO and if you want to send me an email I can send it to you. <br /> 158 <br /> 159 Delores Bailey: Can you explain again how much land between the two parcels? <br /> 160 <br /> 161 Brian Collie: It is all one parcel with 1.6 acres zoned NC-2 and 3.67 zoned AR for a total of 4.83 acres. <br /> 162 <br /> 163 Delores Bailey: Thank you, I understand Randy's explanation of what we're here to do but if it were my community, I would be <br /> 164 concerned about what is getting ready to happen there when the zoning changes. It is very hard not to, especially since the <br /> 165 applicant didn't give any information for us, it's very hard to understand what the need is to change it,the rezoning. Do you <br /> 166 want to take a minute to share from the applicant's point why they feel like they need to change the zoning? <br /> 167 <br />
