MEMORANDUM

 

to:

Mayor and Town Council

from:

Roger L. Stancil, Town Manager

subject:

Public Hearing: Orange County Animal Services Facility - Zoning Atlas Amendment Application (File No. 9870-77-4584)

date:

April 16, 2007

 

PURPOSE

 

Tonight, the Council holds a Public Hearing regarding a request for a Zoning Atlas Amendment for a 5.96-acre site located on the south side of Eubanks Road, between the Orange County Landfill and Millhouse Road.

 

Tonight’s Public Hearing has been scheduled to receive evidence in support of and in opposition to approval of the application.  The purpose of this cover memorandum is to forward my preliminary recommendation to the Council.

 

MANAGER’S PRELIMINARY RECOMMEDATION

 

I believe that the proposed rezoning could be justified based on the finding that a rezoning would achieve the purposes of the Comprehensive Plan.  My preliminary recommendation is that the Council enact the attached ordinance, rezoning the property from Residential-1 (R-1) to Office/Institutional-1-Conditional (OI-1-C). A similar action by the Orange County Commissioners will be required as the property is located in the Joint Planning Transition Area.
