Summary of Requested Rezoning
The Town is proposing initial zoning for this property, which is associated with a citizen-initiated annexation request. The reason for this proposed initial zoning is that the property is currently under Wake County zoning districts (Residential-30 or Residential-20 CUD). Upon annexation into the Town, the zoning of the property must be changed to a Cary zoning district (Residential-12, Transitional Residential, and Resource/Recreation). Because this property is already developed and/or within an existing subdivision approved by Wake County , the proposed R-12, TR, and RR zoning districts are the most comparable to the existing use of the property.

In 2002, the Council approved the development of the 353 acre parent parcel with Town utilities without annexation and allowed subdivision approval through the Wake County Residential 30 zoning district cluster option. Due to State law requirements, the Town was unable to accept a citizen-initiated annexation petition because the property was closer to Holly Spring's corporate limits. In 2003, a Holly Springs/Cary Utility Service Agreement was adopted which allowed this property to be annexed and be zoned to a compatible Cary zoning district. The developer of this Wake County subdivision had agreed to annex based on subdivision plat boundaries.
