January 5, 2009 (Work Session) Page 1117 Proposed Zoning: A0, LI, OI, LDR, CR PIN#: Multiple PIN Numbers Area: +/- 24,548 acres Description: Properties in this area must incur zoning designation changes in order for densities to correspond to the densities in the adopted plan. Zoning History: Zoning designations currently in place were a result of the mass rezoning that took place in 2005 in order to direct growth to areas where infrastructure exists and supports growth. Infrastructure: Subject properties are served by well and septic systems or by the City of Concord public utility system. Exhibits: 1. Central Area Plan Map Including Density Descriptions 2. Maps Corresponding to Staff Report • Land Use • Existing Zoning • Proposed Zoning Submitted by: Susie Morris, AICP, CZO, Planning and Zoning Manager Discussion of Areas: Area 1-Agricultural/Rural Area North of Hiqhway 73 This area starts at Highway 73 and extends north to Rowan County. This area is roughly defined by Cold Water Creek to the west and Irish Potato Road to the east. The Central Area Plan calls for this area to be Rural Residential. As the plan states, it is comprised mostly of lands determined to remain agrarian in the future. Residential uses may be allowed but only to support agrarian purposes and are not the predominant use. Therefore, residential uses are provided only at the very lowest densities. Predominant uses are agricultural and single- family residential. Densities are 1 unit per 3 acres or up to 1 unit per 2 acres provided additional development standards are met. Properties in this area are currently zoned Cabarrus County Low Density Residential (LDR) and Countryside Residential (CR). The proposed zoning designation for this area is Agricultural Open Space (AO) as the AO zoning district designation is consistent with the intent of the land use plan as described for the Rural Residential land use plan classification.
