STAFF ANALYSIS - PETITION 90-12 The analysis of this rezonin9 petition center on fundamental questions. These questions are whether the zoning was correct to begin with, and if not what the correct zoning should be. In addition, there are some separate issues which need to be discussed. It was discussed, in another recent rezoning analysis that the R-30 zoning was placed in this area primarily because of two assumptions, the assumptions were that this area would be incorporated into the urbanized areas of Concord and Kannapolis and that water and sewer service would be exlended to the area. Both of these assumptions appear now to have been in error leaving the R-30 zoning inappropriate. The slow pace of change in this area indicates the zoning should mirror the historical and existing development of this part of the County. The larger area is one of agricultural, rural residential, and minor commercial uses mixed with an abundant amount of open space. Hilton Lake Road itself is primarily residential with one notable commercial use and some vacant and wooded lots. The most appropriate zoning for the entire area seems to be Agricultural/Rural Residential. There is some concern about the intrusion of ARR zoning onto a single parcel of land on Hilton Lake Road. It would have been preferable to have bad a petition for a single use, but this application preceded the approval of Special Use District zoning. The fact that there is a residence on the property that will continue lessens the concerns about thc possibilities for problems under the ARR zoning. The Staff feels that ~RR zoning is appropriate for this area of the County, that the rezoning of this property will not adversely affect adjoining properties, and that this petition should be approved.
