Planning Board Minutes June 20, 1990 Page 5 Mr. Marshall stated it was not advertised. It was publicized through the conversation Mr. Newton had with reporters from various newspapers. In response to general questions as to what would happen to the land's property value, Mr. Newton, Planning & Zoning Director, stated his experience with this type of a text amendment being used is actually opposite from what was being indirectly inferred. The developers who have come through this process were in the areas which he has worked and he is familiar. He said he has personally been involved in both processes. Mr. Newton said between 250 to 300 (and maybe higher) developers have gone through this special use process, and probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 for developers who went through straight rezoning. In no case has the special use process depressed property values. Rather they tend to increase due to the future degree of certainty as to what can and can not happen on the site. Chairman Randall stated she thinks this will be so beneficial if the Board agrees. The Board is going to be able to have petitioners come in with more specific concepts of development or uses in mind, instead of looking at all uses, the Board will be able to focus on a limited number and it's the petitioner's choice. She stated this is going to give the Board a lot more ability to decern the appropriateness of the petition. There being no further comments, Chairman Randall MOTIONED to approve .. and adopt Petition 90-05(t) special use district zoning text amendment, seconded by Mr. Hurlocker based on the information that the Board is not eliminating any options, and both Staff and Board will consider all options. The vote was unanimous. Chairman Randall introduced the fifth item on the Agenda, Zoning Text Amendment: 5. Applicant: plannin9 &Zoniug DeRartment Request: 3.13 River/Stream Overlay Zone (~SOZ) This was a request to the Cabarrus County Planning Board from the Cabarrus CoUnty Planning & Zoning Department, to adopt the River/Stream Overlay Zone (RSOZ), to protect the County's water quality, protect the County's wetlands, and allow the County to use existing areas adjoining rivers or streams toward mitigation procedures required by several federal agencies in order to construct the Coddle Creek Reservoir. Mr. Mike Byrd, Planner, presented the River/Stream Overlay Zone (RSOZ) to the Planning Board for consideration. He stated this overlay district would allow the County to meet the wetland mitigation requirements for construction of the reservoir. After briefly reviewing the RSOZ text, Mr. Byrd asked the Planning Board if they had any questions on the RSOZ text. Mr. Hurlocker asked Mr. Byrd what kind of grade or slope would he be talking about to have a 120 foot buffer?
