A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR THE CHAPEL HILL KEHILLAH PARK/RIDE TERMINAL (2006-02-13/R-8d)

 

BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Chapel Hill that it finds that the Special Use Permit application proposed by the Town of Chapel Hill for the Chapel Hill Kehillah Park/Ride Terminal on property identified as Orange County Tax Map 7.17.C.11, (PIN 9788-51-0886) if developed according to the site plans dated November 30, 2005, and the conditions listed below:

 

  1. Would be located, designed, and proposed to be operated so as to maintain or promote the public health, safety, and general welfare;

 

  1. Would comply with all required regulations and standards of the Land Use Management Ordinance;

 

  1. Would be located, designed, and proposed to be operated so as to maintain or enhance the value of contiguous property; and 

 

  1. Would conform with the general plans for the physical development of the Town as embodied in the Land Use Management Ordinance and in the Comprehensive Plan.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Town Council of Chapel Hill that it finds, in this particular case, that the following modifications satisfy public purposes to an equivalent or greater degree:

 

  1. Modification of Section 5.8.1 of the Land Use Management Ordinance regulations, to remove the requirement for sidewalks along the site’s frontages on Purefoy Road and Mason Farm Road.

 

  1. Modification of Section 6.8 of the Land Use Management Ordinance regulations, to remove the requirement for a bus stop shelter.

 

This finding is based on a determination that public purposes are satisfied to an equivalent or greater degree because the provision of parking spaces on land which has already been developed as and utilized for vehicle parking, is consistent with general plans for Town development and efficiently makes use of land already set aside as space for parking.
