0 Mr. F. A. Rankin, Planning Board Chairman, briefly reviewed the proposed new multi-family district which would prohibit the establishment of mobile home parks. Mr. Bill Powlas stated that those persons living in the multi-family districts should have the right to ask for the RMF-7A zoning if they wish to do so at no charge as in his opinion the proposed district was the correction of a mistake made at the time of the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Thomas B. Robinson, Planning Director, reported that the Planning staff had conducted an extensive study of residents of the multi-family districts of RMF-7 and RMF-6. He stated that only four of those residents wished to remain zoned as RMF-7. He proposed that the Board of Commissioners direct the Planning staff to go back and reaffirm the wishes of the people in that district and if those residents desire to be rezoned to RMF-7A that the Planning staff initiate the Zoning Atlas amendments. He further stated that the zoning in a district would remain the same if there was any opposition from residents of the district. In conclusion, he stated that all the rezoning requests would have to follow the normal process through the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners. There being no one else to speak regarding the proposed new district, the public hearing was closed. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Nash, seconded by Commissioner Payne and unanimously carried, the Board approved the creation in the zoning districts of Cabarrus County a zone known as RMF-7A with the District Statements of Intent, the Schedule of Use Regulations, and Schedule of Development Standards as recommended by the Planning Board (see above). Further study is to be made by the Planning' staff regarding the new zoning district. (2) The Lot Reduction Amendment (See below). The Planning Board unanimously approved the Lot Reduction Amendment.

In addition, rezonings for higher density residential development proposals (R-15 and higher including Mobile Home Park development) shall as a matter of policy be limited to this Ten-Year Growth Transition Overlay District. Exceptions to this policy can be made by the Board of Commissioners where sound land use planning and overall well being of the general public dictate. A.
