MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Patrick Mallett, Deputy Director, Development Services <br /> FROM: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Christopher Sandt, PE – County Engineer, Planning & Inspections; and <br />Steve Kaltenbach – Erosion Control and Stormwater Manager <br /> DATE: December 10, 2024 <br />CASE: MA24-0005 – Zoning Atlas Amendment <br />PIN: 9863-28-1858 <br />WATERSHED: Lower Eno Unprotected (Neuse River Basin) <br /> PROJECT: Cedar Ridge High School <br /> SUBJECT: Summary of Findings Regarding Conformance with Orange County <br />Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) for Erosion & Sedimentation <br />Control and Stormwater Management <br /> <br />This memo summarizes the Development Services Erosion Control and Stormwater <br />Management Division’s (hereafter, the “Division’s) assessment of the submitted <br />application for a Zoning Atlas Amendment (MA24-0005), submitted as the “Cedar Ridge <br />High School” project (hereafter, the “project”). The project is located within 69.58 acres <br />of property at 1125 New Grady Brown School Road in the Hillsborough township of <br />Orange County, North Carolina. <br />The request proposes rezoning from R-1 to NR-CD. The request also includes the related <br />construction of a proposed Outdoor Agricultural Lab building and related appurtenances. <br />The staff comments contained herein are based upon a required Rezoning Application <br />and supporting information dated November 4, 2024, and September 23, 2024. These <br />findings should not be interpreted as the Division’s final analysis/approval of the proposed <br />development. Upon zoning approval, the proposed subsequent development would then <br />be required to submit a Land Disturbing Permit (LDP) and/or a Stormwater Permit (SWP) <br />which would formally review and approve development activity consistent with the <br />Rezoning Application. <br />Erosion & Sedimentation Control (E&SC): <br />According to current Orange County GIS imagery of the project parcel, there are no <br />mapped stream features or special flood hazard areas within the project area as <br />proposed. Orange County enforces stream buffers along streams, rivers, water bodies, <br />and other water features (e.g., wetlands) as outlined in Section 6.13 of the Orange County <br />68
