The request to zone the property to R-1 (Rural Residential) will assign the parcel the same <br /> zoning district as all surrounding properties and ensures that rural character and land use <br /> will be preserved. The R-1 zoning permits uses consistent with low density development <br /> and limits disturbance to surrounding rural lands. <br /> c. Planning Principle 6. Water Resources Preservation: The County has finite water resources <br /> to provide to future populations. The protection and management of the County's water <br /> resources should be a high priority. <br /> Staff Comment: Future development resulting from the proposed Zoning Atlas Amendment <br /> will not require use of public utilities. Any future development for residential purposes would <br /> be subject to regulation under the County's stormwater and water supply watershed <br /> regulations, as the property is located in the Upper Eno Protected Watershed. <br /> d. Planning Principle 8. Preservation of Community Character: Future growth and <br /> development should occur in a manner that preserves and enhances the existing character <br /> of the County, its townships, and rural crossroads communities. <br /> Staff Comment: According to Appendix F: Relationships Between Land Use Classifications <br /> and Zoning Districts, the proposed R-1 (Rural Residential) zoning district is consistent with <br /> both the 20-Year Transition Land Use Classification, which is defined as "areas changing <br /> from rural to urban in form and density. All densities of residential development would be <br /> appropriate," and the Rural Residential Land Use Classification, defined in the 2030 <br /> Comprehensive Plan as "rural areas to be developed as low intensity and low density <br /> residential." The eligible zoning districts in the 20-Year Transition future land use <br /> classification include R-1 (Rural Residential). <br /> e. Land Use Overarching Goal: Coordination of the amount, location, pattern and designation <br /> of future land uses, with availability of County services and facilities sufficient to meet the <br /> needs of Orange County's population and economy consistent with other Comprehensive <br /> Plan element goals and objectives. <br /> Staff Comment: Per the FLUM, the parcel's future land use classification is 20-Year <br /> Transition, which is defined as "areas changing from rural to urban in form and density. All <br /> densities of residential development would be appropriate." A portion of the parcel is also <br /> designated as R-1 (Rural Residential), which is defined in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as <br /> "land in the rural areas of the County which is appropriate for low intensity and low-density <br /> residential development and which would not be dependent on urban services during the <br /> plan period." It is also A rezoning to R-1 is consistent with these stated goals and objectives. <br /> f. Land Use Goal 2: Land uses that are appropriate to on-site environmental conditions and <br /> features, and that protect natural resources, cultural resources, and community character. <br /> Staff Comment: The property is designated on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) as 20-Year <br /> Transition, which is defined as "areas changing from rural to urban in form and density. All <br /> densities of residential development would be appropriate." A portion is also identified as <br /> Rural Residential and is defined in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as "land in the rural areas <br /> of the County which is appropriate for low intensity and low-density residential development <br /> and which would not be dependent on urban services during the plan period." The proposed <br /> rezoning is consistent with a transition to allow for residential development while maintaining <br /> a low intensity land use. <br /> 5 <br />
