PURPOSE: To receive the Planning Board recommendation, close the public hearing, and
make a decision on an owner - initiated Zoning Atlas Amendment to rezone approximately 0.83
acres of land on 2 parcels of property from Rural Residential (R1) to Neighborhood Commercial
(NC2) in accordance with the provisions of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO).
BACKGROUND: This item was presented at the May 29, 2012 Quarterly Public Hearing. As
staff indicated, the two properties, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas and Barbara Merritt, are split
zoned, specifically:
• PIN 9874 -68 -7542: a 31,716 sq. ft. parcel split zoned with 4,005 sq. ft. zoned R1 and the
remaining zoned NC2; and
• PIN 9874 -68 -9620: a 60,063 sq. ft. parcel split zoned with 32,227 sq. ft. zoned R1 and
the remaining portion zoned NC2
The properties are north of Highway 70, east of the intersection of Highway 70 and St. Mary's
Road, and are currently utilized to support a small garden center. These parcels are adjacent to
the Wood properties, which are also subject to a rezoning petition currently under review
(please see Attachment 2 for additional detail).
The current zoning configuration limits available locations for septic systems to support
development, as septic fields supporting non - residential development cannot be located on
residentially zoned portions of property, and creates problems with respect to the owner
complying with established landscape, parking, and setback standards.
The proposed atlas amendment would eliminate the existing R -1 zoning designation in its
entirety and rezone those portions of the property to NC2.
002
During the public hearing there was no discussion or comment made on the request.
It should be noted, however, comments and discussion did occur on a similar request submitted
by an adjacent property owner, Mr. Ronald Woods. Staff responses to questions and concerns
posed during the Woods Rezoning are pertinent to the Merritt request as they address the same
basic issues.
Please refer to the Woods Rezoning abstract, also on this agenda, for additional detail.
Planning Board Discussion: The Planning Board reviewed this item at its June 6, 2012 regular
meeting where there was no discussion concerning this agenda item.
Planning Board Recommendation. The Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of
the rezoning request as recommended by staff consistent with the attached Ordinance
(Attachment 3).
Planning Director's Recommendation: The Planning Director recommends approval of this
rezoning based on the following:
The rezoning is consistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan, which designates the
parcels as being located within the Commercial - Industrial Transition Activity Node.
ii. The properties are of sufficient size to be rezoned to the NC -2 zoning designation.
iii. The rezoning is consistent with various Principles, Goals, and Objectives of the adopted
Comprehensive Plan (see section B of Attachment 1).
FINANCIAL IMPACT: This rezoning request has been reviewed by County departments who
have determined that the approval or denial of the request would not create the need for
additional funding for the provision of County services.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board:
1. Receive the Planning Board's recommendation;
2. Discuss the item as necessary;
3. Close the public hearing; and
4. Adopt the Ordinance of approval for the Zoning Atlas Amendment within Attachment 3.

Application for Zoning Atlas Amendment:
Reasoning for the Request
Article 3, Section 3.1 of the Orange County Unified Development Ordinance states that The Land Use Element
of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan identifies land use categories in which specific types of development are
encouraged and a map depicting the geographic locations of the various land use categories.
The purpose of this rezoning application is not to change the currently intended zoning category (NC2) of the
properties listed, but simply to apply the intended zoning designation consistently across the extent of the
recorded parcels' boundaries (the highlighted lots shown the map below). The intent of this rezoning
application is to allow full use of each parcel to support the development requirements and privileges assigned
to a parcel in the NC -2 zoning district.

b. Principle 7: Promotion of Economic Prosperity and Diversity
c. Economic Development (ED) Overarching Goal: Viable and sustainable
economic development that contributes to both property and sales tax revenues,
and enhances high - quality employment opportunities for County residents.
d. Objective ED -2.5: Identify lands suitable to accommodate the expansion and
growth of commercial and industrial uses.
e. Land Use Overarching Goal: Coordination of the amount, location, pattern and
designation of future land uses, with availability of County services and facilities
sufficient to meet the needs of Orange County's population and economy
consistent with other Comprehensive Plan element goals and objectives.
f. Objective LU -1.1: Coordinate the location of higher intensity / high density
