finds:
The Board of County Commissioners hereby approves the Zoning Atlas Amendment and
a. The requirements of Section 2.8 of the UDO have been deemed complete; and,
b. Pursuant to Sections 1.1.5, and 1.1.7 of the UDO and to Section 153A -341 of the
North Carolina General Statutes, the Board finds sufficient documentation within
the record denoting that the amendment is consistent with the adopted 2030
Comprehensive Plan, which is proposed for concurrent amendments.
1. The amendment is consistent with applicable plans because it supports the
following 2030 Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives:
® Objective LU -1.1: Coordinate the location of higher intensity / high
density residential and non - residential development with existing or
planned locations of public transportation, commercial and
community services, and adequate supporting infrastructure (i.e.,
water and sewer, high-speed internet access, streets, and
sidewalks), while avoiding areas with protected natural and cultural
resources. This could be achieved by increasing allowable
densities and creating new mixed-use zoning districts where
adequate public services are available. (See also Economic
Development Objectives ED-2.1, ED-2.3, ED-2.10, and Water and
Wastewater Objective WW-2.)
The atlas amendment is consistent with this goal and
objective by proposing the rezoning of property to create a
mixed-use zoning district, including the development of high
density residential and non-residential land uses, in an area of
the County designated for the location of adequate supporting
infrastructure (i.e. water and sewer).
c. The amendment is reasonable and in the public interest because it:
1. Expands economic development prospects within the County while
continuing to protect adjacent and nearby land uses.
The atlas amendment involves the approval of a master plan
establishing a detailed list of allowable residential and non-
residential land uses to aid in the marketing on an area designated
within the Comprehensive Plan as being suitable for high density
residential and non-residential development.
Further, the approved master plan establishes mandatory land use
buffers and setbacks for development within the project to ensure
off-site impacts are mitigated.
The Board of County Commissioners hereby adopts this Statement of Approval and
Consistency as well as the findings expressed herein.
