C-4(PDO) REZONING REPORT PETITION 86-28 Back,round On August 1'1, 1986, Ms. Bessie B. Almond filed a petition to rezone a 75 foot by 200 foot lot from C-5 Highway Service District to C-4 Hi§hway Business District with a Planned Development Overlay. The applicant's stated purpose for this rezoning change is to permit a used car sales lot. The POD provision is sought to allow restriction of use to alleviate neighborhood concerns that other non- desirable uses might arise at a later date if a straight C-4 rezoning were sought and approved. Review Section 3.9-6(4) of the Cabarrus County Zoning Ordinance requires that the County Planning Director review the proposed PDO in five areas and then make a recommenda- tion for approval or denial. The following review addresses these five areas. {1) Suitability of Proposal to PDO Category Physical Characteristics of Land and Relation to Surroundin9 Areas.

This commercial node presently serves two functions (1) service for motoring public traveling between Concord and Mount Pleasant and (2) community commercial center for surrounding area. For this reason either a C-2, C-q or C-5 Zoning Designation is suitable and appropriate for this intersection. To avoid spot zoning the entire commercial zone should be zoned uniformly under one of these classifications. Both the C-2 and C-4 classification will accommodate the desired use. (2) Relation to Major Road~ Utilities and Other Services. The applicant's property fronts on a ma~or thoroughfare and has access to county water. Low density development can be accommodated With on site sewage disposal. (3) Evidence of Unified Control. No special features or improvements are planned as part of this POD. Therefore, existing zoning control is sufficient to control planned PDO provisions.
