Applicant’s Justification Statement Submitted September 25, 2006 Please note that the following statement is that of the applicant and does not necessarily represent the views or opinions of the Town of Cary: How is the proposed request reasonable? In explaining how it is reasonable, please address the following, if applicable: 1. Any issues with the size of the tract? N/A 2.
How is the request compatible with the comprehensive plan (i.e.
Land Use, Transportation, Open Space and Historic Resources)? 3.
What are the benefits and detriments to the owner, neighbors and
the 4. How are all the allowable uses with the proposed rezoning compatible with, or how do they relate to, the uses currently present on adjacent tracts? Residential uses currently exist in this area. The area proposed for rezoning is adjacent to land zoned and developed with the same lot size. Areas adjacent to the proposed rezoning but outside the Town of Cary have a Wake County residential zoning designation and are compatible with the proposed request. Schools
Current Enrollment and Building Capacity is based on the 20th day of the school year for 2005-2006 as supplied by the Wake County Public School System. School assignment will be determined at the time of development. **The current information for Holly Ridge Middle School was not included in the Cary area school capacities information for 2005-2006, which is based upon the 20th day enrollment. The 20th Day Enrollment and the Permanent Seat Capacity for Holly Ridge Middle is the 2006-2007 enrollment data according to the Wake County Public School System. *The 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. The basis for making this calculation is based on multipliers provided by the Wake County Schools Office of Student Assignment. During the rezoning process, student yield can not be accurately determined due to unknown variables. 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. Changes since the Town Council Public Hearing: None Staff
recommendation on the rezoning: The
requested zoning of Residential 12 Conditional Use (R-12 CU) is compatible
with the Residential 12 (R-12) zoning district of the Park at Langston
subdivision to the west and the Belmont Subdivision to the southwest.
Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request. Ordinance
