Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes June 20, 1996 Page 2 Mr. Michael Byrd, Staff Members, addressed the Board presenting Petition 96-03 and Staff Analysis stating the James requested the property across the road be rezoned to R-4 which is the highest density residential in the City of Concord. It was rezoned by the City of Concord in February, 1996. Mr. Byrd said R-4 from Concord allowed 14 units per acre, the County's HDR will allow 18 units per acre. Public water and sewer are available and the adjoining property owners have been notified. Mr. Byrd said the staff had a really difficult time deciding which way to recommend this rezoning. He said if the Board approve it, it will allow multi-family residential which would not comply with adjacent land use. The staff could not essentially decide which way to go, so we decided to leave it up to the Board. Mr. Mike Downs, Zoning Administrator, stated that all of the smaller lots on Roberta Road are also owned by Mr. James along the front. The difference between the tracts now is that medium density allows multi-family but only at a ratio of 4.4 units per acre. The high density is going to allow it at 18 units per acre. The Chair opened the Public Hearing on Petition 96-03 asking if anyone would like to speak tbr or against this petition to come forward. Mr. Ferrell James, Petitioner, stating there are actually two parcels of land, one is a 45 foot right-of-way that is access to the property, and the land across the road which is part of this same property which is zoned R-4 which allows 14 units. He said the other land would be high density which will be 18. He said if they get this property rezoned they might could put a little apartment there. Mr. James said it would be the best thing for them since they are going to do apartments across the road. Mr. Moose asked Mr. James how many units can he build with what is left now7 Mr. James said he does not know. This is just for possible future development because quite a bit of it is in the flood plain. Mr. Moose asked Mr. Downs how many units could he put on 2 acres.
