The purpose of the amendment is to remove perimeter buffers originally approved as part of SF-9 since they will now be interior to the site. The added parcel will develop under the SW Area Plan and SF-9 standards. Schools: The school information is being provided for your review; however, the Wake County Board of Education controls capital projects for school capacities.
Current Enrollment and Building Capacity is based on the 20th day of the school year for 2005 as supplied by the Wake County Public School System. School assignment will be determined at the time of development. The Projected Number of Additional Students is only a rough approximation. The actual number of students will vary depending on several variables, such as dwelling unit type, number of bedrooms, dwelling size, and other factors. Development Plan Issues: The purpose of a rezoning is to evaluate the appropriateness of this land use for these parcels of land. Specific development requirements related to the technical aspects of land development, such as access, stormwater management, road improvements, utility line placement, road connectivity and landscape plantings, are not considered during the rezoning process. However, all of these development issues must be addressed for compliance with existing requirements spelled out in the Land Development Ordinance (LDO) when the site or subdivision plan is submitted. All such requirements can be found at http://www.amlegal.com/library/nc/cary.shtml.
