Town of Cary, North Carolina

Staff Report to the Town Council

Case 07-CPA-04, Indian Wells and Wackena Roads

 

Request

This is a request from residents and property owners in the Wackena Road and Indian Wells Road neighborhood to amend Map 1, Future Land Use, of the Town’s Northwest Area Plan to change the land use designation for 46 properties within their neighborhood, totaling approximately 152 acres, from “Very Low Density Residential (VLDR)” to “Medium Density Residential (MDR).”   (Note:  this request concerns the VLDR portions of these properties only, and not the portions identified for potential open space corridors as identified in the NW Area Plan.)

Properties added by the Town: The applicants’ request includes all of the land currently designated as VLDR within the neighborhood, except for portions of two properties totaling an additional 13 acres.  The Town has included those portions of these two properties in this application so that the entire VLDR portion of the neighborhood will be treated in a cohesive manner.  

 

The purpose of a comprehensive plan amendment is to evaluate the appropriateness of a proposed land use and/or other issue, need, or opportunity for the subject parcel(s) 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 comprehensive plan amendment process.  However, all of these development issues must be addressed for compliance with existing requirements specified in the Land Development Ordinance (LDO) when the site or subdivision plan is submitted.  All such requirements can be found at http:vic.townofcary.org.

 

Background Information

 

Applicants

Property owners representing approximately two thirds of the 46 parcels located on Indian Wells Road and Wackena Road, Cary, NC, as given in Parcel and Owner Information table, below.  The Town has added the VLDR portions of a further two parcels to this application, so that the entire VLDR portion of the neighborhood will be considered in a cohesive manner.

Subject Parcels

As noted under “Applicants” in the table above, the applicants submitted their Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) for all or portions of 46 properties in the Wackena and Indian Wells Roads neighborhood, and the Town initiated the application for portions of a further 2 properties, for a grand total of 48 properties.  However, the applicants’ petition, at the time of the Town Council public hearing, included property owner signatures for 37 of the 48 properties, and not all 48, as shown in Signature Map 1.  Subsequent to the Town Council public hearing, and prior to the Planning and Zoning Board public hearing, the applicants secured signatures for a further two properties, for a total of 39 of the 48 properties, as shown in Signature Map 2.
