Public Hearings <br /> 15 a. Zoning Atlas Amendment—4809 Friends School Road, Durham, Chapel Hill Township <br /> 16 The Board held a public hearing, received the Planning Board and staff recommendations, and <br /> 17 public comment, closed the public hearing, and approved a Zoning Atlas Amendment to rezone <br /> 18 +/- 110.456 acres (PINs: 9892-31-0306, 9892-22-7326, 9892-20-2052) located at 4809 Friends <br /> 19 School Road, Durham, within the Chapel Hill Township of Orange County. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 The proposed rezoning is: <br /> 22 <br /> 23 FROM: PDHRB (Planned Development Housing - Rural Buffer); RB (Rural Buffer) <br /> 24 <br /> 25 TO: NR-CD (Non-Residential Conditional District) <br /> 26 <br /> 27 BACKGROUND: A Conditional Zoning Atlas Amendment application (Attachment 1) was <br /> 28 received proposing to rezone approximately 110.456 acres of property at 4809 Friends School <br /> 29 Road, Durham, to 1) bring the existing school into compliance with the current Unified <br /> 30 Development Ordinance (UDO); and 2) allow for future expansion as enrollment increases. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 The parcels' current zoning is Rural Buffer(RB)and Planned Development Housing - Rural Buffer <br /> 33 (PDHRB). Planned Development (PD)was a zoning technique prior to 2011 when it was replaced <br /> 34 with Conditional Use Districts (CUD). CUDs were replaced with Conditional Districts in 2020, as <br /> 35 a result of the North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 160D amendments which removed CUDs <br /> 36 as a possible technique. The "H" in PDH-RB stands for Housing; the RB stands for Rural Buffer. <br /> 37 The nomenclature followed the requirements of the regulations at the time. There are a number <br /> 38 of Planned Developments in Orange County and they may continue to operate under the <br /> 39 approvals they received. <br /> 40 <br /> 41 All application materials can be found on the Permit Portal. The Staff Report at Attachment 2 <br /> 42 contains additional information, maps, and analysis with regard to the application's consistency <br /> 43 with County adopted plans. Approval of a site-specific plan is part of the conditional district <br /> 44 rezoning process, and the site plan and any agreed-upon conditions are binding to the <br /> 45 development permitted for the zoning district. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Basic Review Process: A conditional district rezoning application requires submission of a site <br /> 48 plan and other documents, in accordance with Section 2.9.1(C) of the UDO. Sections 2.8 and <br /> 49 2.9 of the Orange County UDO require the following review: <br /> 50 <br />
