19 659 Lamar Proctor: Can you briefly sum up the difference between RNAN and RCAN node, rural community rural 660 neighborhood? 661 662 Tom Altieri: Not any more than I did by reading those definitions of the two. 663 664 Beth Bronson: Chair, I apologize, I have a question. But if you would like to go first, please. 665 666 Cy Stober: The only thing that I would have to add is that when they were assigned,the rural 667 neighborhood activity node was to serve a population of 1,000 people or less and the rural community activity node 668 was to serve a population of 1,000 to 5,000 people. Tom covered everything else. 669 670 Lamar Proctor: Okay, Ms. Bronson. 671 672 Beth Bronson: Thank you, and just because you did clarify the definition of the RCAN and the RNAN,the 673 neighborhood activity node would be more for like the mom and pop convenience stores,this idea that there were 674 local farmers that were coming together at this historical crossroads and provided a service,versus a rural 675 community activity node that would be focused on where that 1,000 to 5,000 would come for, I guess congregation or 676 there would be a fire station and or a post office or a school, something, it would be an institution. So, to be clear,the 677 proposed amendment is asking to change it from a rural neighborhood activity to a rural community activity. Would 678 that be accurate? 679 680 Tom Altieri: No, all but the last part, so we're talking about expanding the existing rural neighborhood 681 activity node at Morrow Mill and NC 54 to cover the balance of the property,a portion of the property on the north 682 does have some of the neighborhood node within it. So it would be to expand that node to cover the entire property 683 and then for consistency purposes,that's where you get to the matrix and add in the diamond there to allow for that 684 zoning district within the rural neighborhood activity node. It's already allowed in the rural community activity node. 685 686 Beth Bronson: Got it, now that said, does the rural neighborhood activity node have a limit on the acreage 687 that can be designated? 688 689 Tom Altieri: Not in the comprehensive plan, no. 690 691 Beth Bronson: Okay, and I only ask this because a couple of meetings ago we had a conversation about the 692 rural community activity node reaching its limit of rezoned parcels from agricultural residential to general commercial 693 and there was a discussion about whether or not that hit a threshold for what was allowable, not to say that that can't 694 be changed or that can't be amended, but I just wanted to clarify if that would create the same type of limitation. 695 696 Tom Altieri: So, I believe the standard or the threshold that you're referring to is in the unified development 697 ordinance, I don't have that section off the top of my head, but given time I think I could find it. There was at one 698 point a threshold there that applied to how much acreage within the node could be rezoned. 699 700 Beth Bronson: And to be clear,when we were speaking about that,that was the rural community activity 701 node, not the neighborhood, so I don't know,we haven't discussed if there is an actual threshold to the rural 702 neighborhood activity node,so I just wanted to clarify that. Thank you. 703 704 Lamar Proctor: Ms. Kirk and then Statler. 705 706 Charity Kirk: I'm hoping that the applicant will present, but since we're asking questions now,why does the 707 whole parcel need to be converted to a rural activity node? Is it because an agricultural residential parcel doesn't 708 support multi-family dwellings? 709
