1.3       GENERAL DEVELOPMENT

 

1.3.1     Land Uses

The Havensite Court PDD is a proposed residential PDD.  The site is approximately 15.69 acres.  The maximum number of units proposed is 240.  The property is zoned industrial and the adopted land use for the property is also industrial.  The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Town’s Land Use Plan.  The proposed PDD is adjacent to a proposed Town of Cary Greenway.  The proposed rezoning provides a better transition between the existing residential development and the Town’s proposed greenway.  By this property developing residentially, there is an opportunity for this development to build the greenway and provide interconnectivity to the greenway system.

Buffers and open space and their width are indicated on the Conceptual Master Land Use, Circulation, and Open Space/Buffer Plan.  

The open space requirement for the Havensite property is 5% for a total of .78 acres.  The total open space acreage in the development is 1.10 acres.

 

The applicant is working with the Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources Department to locate the Town’s greenway along the south and southeast property boundary of the proposed development as per the Town’s adopted Parks and Greenway Plan.  The construction of the greenway will be credited toward the payment-in-lieu for recreation requirement for this development.

 

1.3.4     Utilities

Water and sanitary sewer will be provided to this tract via extensions of proposed Town of Cary utility lines.  Additionally, Public Service gas, BellSouth, Time Warner Cable, Progress Energy and other various public utilities will provide services to this property.
