<br />Lamar Proctor: We move onto Agenda Item 7 which is a zoning atlas amendment to review and make a 69
<br />recommendation to the BOCC on a zoning atlas amendment to rezone plus or minus 110.456 70
<br />acres located at 4809 Friends School Road, Durham within the Chapel Hill Township of Orange 71
<br />County. The proposed rezoning is from PDH-RB which is plan development housing within the 72
<br />rural buffer and RB rural buffer to NR-CD non-residential conditional district. The anticipated 73
<br />BOCC public hearing date is September 4th. All right, Lauren? 74
<br /> 75
<br />Lauren Honeycutt: Thank you, chair. Let me skip through the beginning here to get to our item. As you mentioned, 76
<br />this is a conditional district zoning atlas amendment for Carolina Friends School to rezone from 77
<br />PDH-RB and RB, rural buffer, to a non-residential conditional district. This is a conditional district 78
<br />rezoning, and this means that it is use specific, and it is site specific, so that is what the rezoning 79
<br />is contingent on. Looking at our site here, the main school is at 4809 Friends School Road. It's 80
<br />located in the Chapel Hill Township. We have three pins involved in this rezoning. Its watershed 81
<br />is Jordan Lake unprotected, and the applicant is Carolina Friends School in conjunction with the 82
<br />Peter and Martha Klopfer Life Estate. The current zoning is the planned development housing 83
<br />rural buffer. You can see that in the blue portion here that came with the special use permit 84
<br />granted by the BOCC, and then also the green shown on the map is the rural buffer zoning. 85
<br />They're requesting to rezone all three parcels to non-residential conditional district, so this would 86
<br />include the sites that were not in the special use permit which is that bottom parcel there. And 87
<br />then surrounding zoning, as y'all can see on the map is rural buffer. Future land use is rural buffer 88
<br />as well. This is meant to be land adjacent to an urban, or transition area. It's rural in character 89
<br />and should remain rural. Uses are low density, and there are not expected to be urban services 90
<br />provided, and Carolina Friends School is not proposing an amendment to the future land use map. 91
<br />This parcel is also in the joint planning area, which has its own future land use classification of 92
<br />rural buffer as well within parcels in the JPA that are zoned rural buffer, designated rural buffer will 93
<br />have a further distinction, and those parcels, these three further distinction is a rural residential, so 94
<br />this is meant to be residential uses, and it's meant to be low density areas that are meant to be 95
<br />single family homes and supporting uses. Similarly, to our future land use map it is not expected 96
<br />to have urban services. What comes with the conditional district application is a site-specific plan, 97
<br />which y'all have in front of you. We have a couple of changes to talk through. There was one 98
<br />change to the site plan since the agenda packet went out, and that is just a note showing that the 99
<br />footprint is conceptual. Y'all can see that reflected in your plans. Also, as part of the application, 100
<br />there's an environmental assessment, a biological inventory, and then anything else that's 101
<br />required with review from reviewing agencies, and those were all deemed complete by staff, so it 102
<br />looks like the specific plan, as we went over has had a change. Y'all can see that in front of you. 103
<br />The yellow page, and then the plan set, both with the same information. The other changes, just 104
<br />before I turn it over to the applicant, there was a change to the conceptual construction projection, 105
<br />and so that just shows you need the maximum square footage. Also, the list of conditions that was 106
<br />agreed to by Carolina Friends School and signed. There is a sheet reflecting those conditions, 107
<br />which did include one additional condition that is listed under No. 6 to capture the traffic changes, 108
<br />and that they agreed to follow NCDOT requirements when they get their driveway permit, and just 109
<br />to make sure we capture that change and that whichever statement of consistency, or 110
