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:vic.townofcary.org. |
