January 20, 2009 (Regular Meeting) Page 1196 Vice Chairman Mynatt expressed support for the motion and asked if the audience will be given time to select a spokesperson and if there can be more than one spokesperson. Chairman White responded in the affirmative and stated his intent to take a 15 minute recess to allow for the selection of spokesperson(s) if the motion passes. Vice Chairman Mynatt seconded the MOTION. The MOTION carried with Chairman White, Vice Chairman Mynatt and Commissioners Carruth and Poole voting for and Commissioner Privette voting against. Recess of Meeting Chairman White recessed the meeting at 7:05 p.m. to allow the opponents and proponents of the land use plan to select a spokesperson(s). Chairman White reconvened the meeting at 7:22 p.m. - Rezoning Case Chairman White asked Susie Morris, Planning and Zoning Manager, to present the staff report. Ms. Morris stated Case C2008-09 is a zoning atlas amendment for the Central Area Land Use Plan Implementation rezoning which is an administrative rezoning with multiple property owners and multiple pin numbers. She reported the existing zoning designations are: LDR, CR, MDR, HDR, GI, LC and OI; and the proposed zoning designations are: A0, LI, OI, LDR and CR. She reported GIS analysis determined the pin numbers involved in the rezoning and that information is available; notifications were mailed to individual property owners within the area if they are impacted by the proposed rezoning; adjacent property owners were also notified; and approximately 25 signs were erected throughout the area to inform citizens of the rezoning and when the meeting was to be held. She said properties in this particular area must incur zoning designation changes in order for the densities to correspond to the density in the adopted plan; and the zoning designations that are proposed do correspond to the Central Area Plan which adopted by the Boardof Commissioners on August 18, 2008. Further, she said the zoning designations currently in place are a result of the mass rezoning in 2005. She said if you remember the "Designing Cabarrus" initiative, the effort there was to direct densities to where utilities were available and this rezoning further refines the scope of that particular project. She reported the staff report is divided into five different areas and proposed to review each area and then respond to questions from the Board. Area 1 - Agricultural:/Rural Area North of Highwav 73 Area 1 is the area north of Highway 73 and extends into Rowan County. She said this particular area is proposed to be rezoned mainly to AO with the exception of one parcel with institutional uses that is proposed to be rezoned OI. The area with the striping is where the Land Use Plan was adopted and calls for densities of one to three units per acre. She said that area is proposed to be rezoned from LDR and CR mainly to A0. (Note: Both areas were identified on the monitors for the benefit of the viewing audience.) Area 2 - South of Highway 73 and North of Highwav 99 Area 2 is the area south of Highway 73 and north of Highway 49. This area is bound to the west by the Utility Service Boundary (USB) line that was established with the City of Concord and the proposed zoning designations for this area are mainly AO and some CR. She said the proposed densities are consistent with the Land Use Plan. Further, she pointed out that Highway 49 serves as the USB line for the "special use district" - the area around the Cabarrus Arena & Events Center, and water and sewer service is not available and is not planned to be available south of Highway 49. (Note: Both areas were identified on the monitors for the benefit of the viewing audience.) Area 3 - South of Highwav 99 East of the Utility Service Boundarv Area 3 is the ,area south of Highway 99 that extends down to Highway 200. That particular area is mostly proposed as Very Low Density. It is a 1 to 3 unit area. The zoning designation being proposed for that area is A0. There is another special use area in that area and that is the proposed Atando Road working farm. (Note: Both areas were identified on the monitors for the benefit of the viewing audience.)
