This 78 item is scheduled for BOCC public hearing on September 5, 2024. 79 80 Adam Beeman: First agenda item is a zoning atlas amendment for Frazier Road in Mebane, Cheeks 81 Township. 82 Lauren Coffey: Thank you, Chair. Tonight, I present to you a Zoning Atlas Amendment for a 83 Conventional District Rezoning. This is a Conventional District Rezoning, so standards 84 must be uniformly applied throughout the county.

It is at 1031 Frazier Road in 88 Mebane, North Carolina in the Cheeks Township, and it's in the Upper Eno Protected 89 Watershed. The applicant tonight is Hart's Mill. It's currently under the name Common 90 Ground, so they've gone through a little bit of a change there. The current zoning is MPD-91 CZ. This was a Master Plan Conditional Zoning District from a previous rezoning to this 92 district to the site plan that you see before you. It also has the Upper Eno Protected 93 Watershed overlay. The applicant tonight is requesting the rezoning. It's a down zoning 94 to Rural Residential which was the original zoning of the parcel and is also the 95 surrounding zoning. So, when we're thinking about a rezoning, we're looking at the 96 Future Land Use Map designation. This parcel is primarily in the 20-Year Transition. This 97 means it's land that has been identified as being in areas that are in the process of 98 changing from rural to urban. These are suitable for urban -type densities and should be 99 provided with public utilities and services within the second 10-year phase of the plan. 100 They propose no amendment to the Future Land Use Map. There's also just a very small 101
