3. Are there any zoning requirements that have the effect of limiting housing <br /> opportunities to protected groups? Cabarms County and its towns and cities have <br /> a wide range of residential zoning districts. These range from multifamily zoning <br /> districts to large lot zoning, serving all citizens with housing choice. <br /> <br />Single family homes, multifamily, duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes are allowed in <br />multiple districts in all of the jurisdictions. There are 5 incorporated municipalities in <br />Cabarrus County. Four of these jurisdictions provide water and sewer services <br />pemaitting more dense development. In the unincorporated areas of the County, <br />many areas are not served by water and sewer, therefore, dense development is <br />impossible. <br /> <br />4. Are there any Community Development or Public Housing Authority activities <br /> or programs that have the effect of perpetuating segregation? Cabarrus County <br /> has applied for and used Community Development Block Grant funds for housing <br /> rehabilitation and will be applying for infrastructure grants in the Fishertown <br /> community in the next funding round. Fishertown is a predominantly minority <br /> community. Low-income neighborhoods, with and without minority concentrations, <br /> have been targeted for this work. The housing rehabilitation programs the County is <br /> currently rtmning are all scattered site housing rehabilitation and the infrastructure is <br /> in minority and low-income neighborhoods. These actions may have caused <br /> individuals or families to stay in neighborhoods, rather than move to more integrated <br /> neighborhoods. Additionally, there is public housing located in an area of high <br /> minority concentration. The location of this public housing may encourage <br /> segregation. <br /> <br />Are the Boards and Commissions representative of the community? Cabarms <br />County's Boards and Commissions are representative of the community. The Board <br />of Commissioners consists of three white males, one white female and one black <br />male. The Planning and Zoning Commission/Board of Adjustment has eleven white <br />males, and one white female. Mount Pleasant's Board of Commissioners has four <br />white males and two white females. The Mount Pleasant Planning and Zoning <br />Commission/Board of Adjustment bas four white males and one black female. <br />Harrisburg has 6 white men and one white woman on the Town Board. The <br />Planning and Zoning Commission/Board of Adjustment has five white men and one <br />white woman. Midland's Town Board has five white men and one white woman. <br />The Planning and Zoning Commission/Board of Adjustment has five white males and <br />one white female. Both Harrisburg and Midland have small minority populations <br />with 3.2% (2000 Census) for Harrisburg. In Midland, we have no accurate measure as <br />the Town was incorporated after the 2000 Census was conducted. <br /> <br />Step 6. Discrimination in the Rental Market <br /> <br />1.
