Attachment 4 47 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> PLANNING and INSPECTIONS <br /> Cy Stober,AICP,Director I cstober@orangecountync.gov I 131W.Margaret Lane,Hillsborough,NC 27278 1 919 245 2575 <br /> December 20, 2024 <br /> NOTICE OF NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION MEETING (NIM) <br /> Non-Residential Conditional District Rezoning Application: <br /> MA24-0005 (Cedar Ridge High School Conditional Zoning) <br /> Dear Cedar Ridge High School neighbors: <br /> On behalf of Orange County and in my capacity as Planning Director, I have initiated a Non- <br /> Residential - Conditional District Rezoning Application to bring the existing Cedar Ridge High <br /> School campus property into conformance with the county's Unified Development Ordinance <br /> (UDO) and allow for additional campus structures. As required by the UDO Section 2.9, you are <br /> receiving this letter because you own property within 1,000 ft. of this parcel (see table for details). <br /> Property Information <br /> Parcel ID Numbers (PIN) 9863-28-1858 <br /> Owner Orange County <br /> Applicant Orange County c/o Cy Stober, Planning and <br /> Inspections Director <br /> Location Cedar Ridge High School Campus <br /> 1125 New Grady Brown School Road <br /> Acreage +/- 69.58 <br /> Zoning (Current) Rural Residential (R-1) <br /> Zoning (Proposed) Non-Residential—Conditional District(NR-CD) <br /> Watershed Designation Lower Eno River Unprotected <br /> What is being proposed? <br /> Orange County, in coordination with Orange County Schools, is seeking a rezoning of the Cedar <br /> Ridge High School property from R-1 (Rural Residential) to NR-CD (Non-Residential— <br /> Conditional District). The rezoning will correct the legal nonconformity of the school being in this <br /> zoning district, which was created when Orange County amended its UDO text in 2021 and <br /> disallowed schools in the R-1 district. Approval of this site-specific zoning application will 1) <br /> bring the property into conformance, recognizing its existing development footprint as site-specific <br /> conditions; 2) allow for improvement of the property within a development envelope; and 3) create <br /> conditions for further school-related improvements to be approved administratively unless they <br /> present a deviation from the zoning standards or are a special use, as defined in the Orange County <br /> UDO. Approval of this zoning application is necessary for approval of all additions and external <br /> improvements to the existing buildings and structures, including the pending construction of an <br /> 1,350-square foot agricultural building east of the main school structure. <br />
