REZONING REPORT Petition 87-20 Back~round On May 4, 1987, Mr. Jeffery W. Carter filed a petition to rezone a twelve and one half (12,5) acre tract of land located on Lake Lynn Road from ARR to I-1. The purpose of this request was for Mr. Carter to operate a machine type business. After discussion with Mr. Carter, he realized that if the entire tract was reznned to I-1, then he would not be allowed to build his house in the I-1 zone. Therefore, he has agreed to a PDO and only needs a couple of acres to operate his business. Review Section 3.9-6(4) of the Cabarrus County Zoning Ordinance requires that the Planning Director review the proposed PDO in five (5) areas and then make a recommendation for approval or denial. The following addresses these five areas. (1) ~uitability of Proposal - The PDO plan is not appropriate for the type of use contemplated. The area around the subject property is residential, agricultural in nature. This area is slated on the future Land Use Plan to remain residential with no com~ercial or industrial uses. (2) Relation to Major Road, Utilities and other Services - The applicant's property.is approximately 3/4 of a mile from N.C. 73 East. Natural gas, sewer, nor water is currently to the proposed site. (3) Evidence of Unified Control - The applicant owns'the entire tract and will have control over the development. However, a separate lot will have to be split from the original lot to accommodate the business. (4) Suitability of Plans - The applicant and I have reviewed the plans for the property, to assure safeguards of the surrounding property owners. The proposed PDO and concommitment standards do not achieve the full intent of the PDO District as stated in Section 3.9-15. Subsection 3.g-15(1) A,, is not in accordance with the proposed Land Use Plan, nor. the'County Thoroughfare Plan. (5) AdherenE~ to or Medification of PDO Requirements - The applicant has agreed to.,the PDO performance standards. I recommend imposing the site design s'tandards contained in the following report recommendation rather than outlined in Section 3.9-13(8). However, the Planning Board and County Commissioners may suggest any modifications they feel appropriate. Recommendation After review of the proposed use and zone, I recommend deoial of the Carter I-i(PDO/I-1). Because this zone is not compatible with the surrouhding uses in the immediate area and zones such as these should be located along major transportation corridors in planned developments.
