STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION

CHANGES SINCE PUBLIC HEARING: *Yes [ X ] No [ ]
*See revised rezoning conditions.
PROTEST PETITION FILED: Valid [ ] Invalid [ ] None Filed [ X ]

REZONING REQUEST

Analysis: In 1998 the Town of Cary approved a rezoning and site plan contiguous to the southern boundary of this tract. This project, Heritage Pines, does not contain any access points to the tract being reviewed for rezoning.

The current zoning conditions for the property require that access points be provided in the design of this tract. The applicant is requesting that all these access points be deleted in order to avoid the conflict of design along the southern boundary.

Staff has reviewed the request with the applicant and suggests all pedestrian access points and the access to the nonresidential remain. The applicant has amended the conditions to reflect staff’s suggestion.

Recommendation: Staff recommends approval.

PLANNING & ZONING BOARD RECOMMENDATION

At their meeting of June 21, 1999, the Planning and Zoning Board voted to forward this request to Town Council with a recommendation of approval.
