Relations Commission posted in government offices, financial institutions, schools <br />and local libraries located in Concord, Mount Pleasant, and Harrisburg. <br /> <br />How are citizens made aware of these activities? Fair housing posters and <br />pamphlets are posted in government offices, libraries, schools, and financial <br />institutions. Fair Housing programs are advertised on a local radio station (WEGO), <br />local cable access, Cabarrus County Website, and in the local newspaper <br />(Independent Tribune). <br /> <br />List all such activities during the past two years. What were the results of these <br />activities? Four public notices have been run in the Independent Tribune for the <br />CDBG Scattered Site Housing Rehabilitation program as well as for thc HOME <br />program. These advertisements described the rights of protected persons from <br />discrimination in Fair Housing issues. Pamphlets and posters pertaining to Fair <br />Housing are posted at the County Planning Office and in the libraries located in <br />Concord, Mount Pleasant, and Harrisburg. Pamphlets have also been placed in <br />financial institutions in the downtown area, one of the Census tracts with the largest <br />amount of minorities in the County. Additionally, the Cabarrus County Community <br />Development Corporation addresses Fair Housing in their homeownership programs. <br />There has been no discernable result to these activities. <br /> <br />Step 5. Examination of Public Policy and Programs <br /> <br />Do current site selection policies have a disproportionate impact based upon a <br />protected basis? If so, is there a nondiscriminatory reason for this policy and is <br />there an alternative that would have a less discriminatory impact? Site selection <br />policies do not have a disproportionate impact based upon protected class status. <br />Homes are selected based on windshield surveys, applications, and recommendations <br />from other agencies such as DSS or Department of Aging. <br /> <br />Are county services equitably distributed throughout the community? Every <br />effort is made to provide all county services on an equitable basis to all citizens <br />throughout the County. <br /> <br />Are there any zoning requirements that have the effect of limiting housing <br />opportunities to protected groups? Cabarrus 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 />pe,mitting 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 />Page 13of22 <br /> <br /> <br />
