you'll find to the north, is zoning within the Town of Hillsborough. There's also economic development Hillsborough up 1 here to the northeast. There's rural residential in the yellow to the east and then we have rural buffer denoted by the 2 green to the south. Future land use map designations for the property is the rural residential, which is in the yellow, and 3 then the small curved portion on the southern side, is designated rural buffer. So again, there's two very specific 4 requests for you all to review tonight. It is the addressing whether unitary ownership should remain as a requirement 5 for the special use permit and also the request to relocate the open space. There's no proposed change to the 6 approved use, which again, is the plan development housing as it was worded in the original permit. If a similar project 7 were to come before us today, it would be designated as a home park use. The use standards of which are found in 8 Section 5.5.5, but because there's no change of use here, those standards do need to be addressed. So, this how the 9 property stands today. We have the mobile home park and its housing units on the northern portion and then the 10 southern portion is, and I know you can't see super well here, but it is hashed out and all of this southern L shape is the 11 designated 25 acres of open space. As part of an application for a major modification, the applicant is required to 12 submit an amended site plan and a written narrative detailing what they're requesting to modify. Before you is the 13 amended site plan in which you can see how they're proposing to redistribute the open space with the bright green 14 being the newly proposed location. So here, it's just the southern portion and the proposal is to redistribute it in a way 15 that still protects streams and stream buffers as would be required, as is required by open space allocations in today's 16 current UDO standards. They're also proposing to retain the southern portion that is within that rural buffer designation 17 as part of their open space and then you will also find along the western portion a 100-foot-wide buffer, which is 18 alignment with the current standards for our major transportation corridor overlay, which requires that 100-foot buffer. 19 Similarly, there's a 100 foot buffer applied along East Scarlett Mountain Road and just to the north. Staff analysis 20 determined that the submitted application was complete by way of Section 2.7 what's required for a Special Use Permit 21 and then also by UDO Section 5.3.2, which are the application of use standards specific to special uses. We found that 22 the material evidence submitted did support the UDO submittal requirements in Section 2.2 for applications and Section 23 2.7.14, which details what's required for modifications to approved plans. Further, we found that the proposed 24 modifications will maintain or promote the public health, safety and general welfare if located where proposed and 25 developed and operated according to the plan. This is supported by the applicant's submitted site plan. The analysis is 26 detailed in Attachment 2 in the staff report as well as staff comments found in Attachment 5. Based on the materials 27 provided, staff finds no potential injury to the value of contiguous property, and we further find that the use will be in 28 harmony with the area in which it is to be located. This is based on the fact that the modification proposes no change of 29 use but the change to unitary ownership and the common open space location. I will now turn it over to the applicant. 30 I'm going to pull up their presentation to present their own case. 31 32 Leon Meyers: Let's take a little pause there and let’s see if the Board has any questions for you, Taylor. 33 34 Beth Bronson: I only have one question about the open space. Is there a text amendment going to the Board of 35 Commissioners regarding open space requirements and what it includes, do you know? 36 37 Cy Stober: So, the planning board reviewed a draft landscaping ordinance based on the planning board's 38 feedback and further, or rather it was the ordinance review committee- 39 40 Beth Bronson: Okay, so it has not gone to – 41 42 Cy Stober: No, it's still being drafted in consultation with the attorney's office to make sure that it meets the needs 43 for enforcement and administration, but we're anticipating it proceeding this summer. 44 45 Beth Bronson: Okay, thank you very much. 46 47 Leon Meyers: Just a question about what is required related to the nature of open space at the time these two 48 applications were approved? 49 50 11
