Conditional District rezoning affords a degree of certainty in land use decisions not possible when rezoning to a general category allowing many different uses. A Conditional District is a floating zoning district created only at the request of a property owner, built upon one of the general districts, and developed as set forth in an approved development plan. Requirements of a Conditional District rezoning: Keeping the proposed actual use in mind, the Petitioner may choose the desired district from any of the general zoning districts (where the proposed use is permitted either outright or conditionally) as set forth wi thin this Ordinance. Upon selection, the requested zoning district will be known by the name of the general zoning district with the suffix "CD" added to delineate its Conditional District status. Land use within the Conditional District. The Petitioner will describe the exact land use proposed for the "CD" District. Such use (s) may be selected from any of the uses, whether permitted by right or conditional, allowed in the general zoning district upon which the "CD" district is based. Along with the application for conditional district status, the Petitioner is requested to furnish a development plan. At a minimum the development plan will address: · General site characteristics ownership, topography, soils, drainage, vegetation and other physical characteristics. · Transportation patterns - public and private roads, internal and external circulation patterns, and parking. · Land use characteristics - a site plan showing existing and proposed land uses, structures and buildings, i.e., a description of size, area and height. The plan shall show how the site conforms to the development requirements of the Cabarrus County Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances and other applicable ordinances and laws. · Utilities and Infrastructure. How the site will be served by public and/or pri vate utili ties and infrastructure and documentation that service to the site is available. If site is to be served by onsite septic then a soils test establishing soil suitability shall be provided. · Relationship of the Proposed Zone Change to the Cabarrus County Land Development Guide, appropriate area plan, or other plan. Specifically, how will the proposed zone change conflict, conform, complement or otherwise effect long range plans for the development of land in the County as well as any other special studies. Review Comments Schools: Per comments received, the schools that serve this site are inadequate at this time. Utili ties WSACC: Per comments received from WSACC, in regards to the properties located off of Mooresville Road, Sudbury Road and Davidson Road (PIN #4673-66-0905, #4673-56-6296, #4673-56-4277, #4673-47-9022), WSACC has no issues or comments relative to conditional use re-zoning of these properties noted in the memorandum dated May 19, 2006 (received May 23, 2006). Relative to any future development project, please be aware that flow acceptance from WSACC is granted in the order received assuming sufficient wastewater treatment and transportation capacity is available or is reasonably expected to be made available. Currently, WSACC is granting flow acceptance to development proj ects that discharge wastewater to the WSACC interceptor serving this area. However, this e-mail document does not guarantee wastewater flow acceptance for the proposed site. Following approval of final site/civil construction plans, flow acceptance must be requested by the Jurisdiction providing the retail sewer service, in this case the City of Kannapolis. The closest WSACC gravity sewer interceptor is located south of this site along Rocky River. It should be noted that WSACC does not own or operate any existing water lines (wholesale or retail) serving this area. Ci ty of Kannapolis: Per documentation received from the City of Kannapolis, the City of Kannapolis agrees to take over water lines (when their lines are extended to the property) if the developer builds a community system that meets the City's specifications. Sewer lines would have to be extended
