Conclusions <br />The proposed rezoning is not consistent with the Northwest Cabarrus Area Plan. However, the <br />subject property supports an existing religious institution which was constructed prior to <br />county zoning. The property currently has a residential zoning designation of CR. Rezoning <br />from CR to OI would not affect ordinance compliance. <br />The front portion of the subject property is located within the Coddle Creek WS-II watershed <br />protected area. The following requirements may affect future development of the site. Rezoning <br />would allow the current institutional use to expand up to the 75% impervious coverage (OI <br />requirement) rather than the 20% (CR requirement) within the watershed protected area. <br />All other residential and non-residential development shall not exceed twelve (12%) <br />percent built-upon area for the site in addition to meeting the applicable minimum lot <br />size, density, and zoning district requirements. <br />Lots that were developed prior to the adoption of the watershed regulations on <br />December 20, 1993 are considered grandfathered lots. Built-upon area, for purposes of <br />complying with the Watershed Overlay Zone standards, shall be determined by using <br />additions to the site occurring after the adoption date of this section of the ordinance. <br />Historical survey data, Cabarrus County Geographic Information Systems data and land <br />records data shall be used to determine the base built-upon area for Watershed Overlay <br />Zone compliance and for permitting purposes. In no case, however, shall the overall <br />built-upon area for a property exceed the impervious or structural coverage allowed for <br />the underlying zoning district. <br /> <br /> <br /> Current Zoning CR Proposed Zoning OI Site Conditions <br />Minimum Lot Size 2 acres conventional 10,000 sq ft ± 11.08 ac (170,772.95 sq ft in watershed) <br />Church, Parsonage, Accessory Structure, Playground, <br />Density .50 max units/acre <br />Cemetery <br />Impervious Coverage 20% 75% 25,260.91 sq ft within watershed area <br />Impervious Coverage <br /> 18,805.31 sq ft within watershed area <br />prior to 12/20/93 <br />Impervious Coverage <br /> 6,455.78 sq ft within watershed area <br />Added after 12/20/93 <br />Coverage minus pre 12/20/93 built upon area = 3.78% <br />Protected Watershed <br />12% 12% <br />Impervious Coverage Total Current Coverage in watershed area = 14.79% <br />(5.21% available in CR and 65.21% in OI) <br /> <br /> <br />
