MINUTES RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD October 6, 2020 The Randolph County Planning Board met on Tuesday, October 6, 2020, in the -C Worth Street, Asheboro, NC. Vice-Chair Wayne Joyce called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. Jay Dale, Planning Director, called the roll of the members: Reid Pell, Chair, absent; Wayne Joyce, Vice Chair, present; John Cable, present; Keith Slusher, present; Kemp Davis, present; Melinda Vaughan, present; Ralph Modlin, present; and Reggie Beeson, Alternate, present. County Attorney, Ben Morgan was also present. Dale informed the Vice-Chair there was a quorum of the members present for the meeting. Joyce called for a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented. Consent Agenda: Approval of minutes from September 15, 2020, Planning Board meeting. Approval of agenda for October 6, 2020, Planning Board meeting. Approval of Planning Board Order approving the Special Use Permit for Verizon Wireless and Roger Strickland. Approval of the Consistency, Reasonableness and in the Public Interest Statements for the Rezoning Requests by Trina Seals and Melody L. Hartwell. Davis made the motion to approve the consent agenda as presented with Modlin making the second to the motion. The motion was adopted unanimously. Joyce called for any old business to be brought before the Board. Hearing none, Joyce moved forward with new business. Dale presented the first case of the night along with site plans and pictures of the site and surrounding properties as follows: Randolph County Planning Board Minutes Page 1 of 12 August 4, 2020 ACE AVANT REAL PROPERTY COMPANY, INC, Archdale, NC, is requesting that 36.79 acres located on Racine Rd, Providence Township, be rezoned from CVOE-CD Conventional Subdivision Overlay Exclusive Conditional District to CVOE-CD Conventional Subdivision Overlay Exclusive Conditional District. Tax ID #7777767305, 7777865194. Secondary Growth Area. Polecat Creek Watershed. The proposed Conditional Zoning District would specifically allow a 7-lot site-built subdivision with a minimum house size of 1,700 sq. ft. as per site plan. Joyce opened the public hearing and asked if anyone was present to speak in favor of the Special Use Permit request. Klas Anderson, 5172 Jordan Valley Rd., Trinity, said the property was purchased as an investment for his company. He said there have been previous requests to subdivide the property with a larger number of lots, with neighbors opposition so they changed their request by reducing the number of lots to seven with the largest lot being 19.51 acres and the smallest one being 1.89 acres. He said they are proposing restrictions of 1,700 square feet heated, minimum house size with additional restrictions as to building materials, setbacks from the property lines. Modlin asked Anderson if the land had been perked. Anderson said soil tests have been completed but not perked at this point. Cable asked Anderson if he had heard anything from the neighbors off Surry Trl. Anderson said they own the property adjacent to Surry Trl as well and there was a neighbor that attended the Neighborhood Information Meeting wanting to make sure there was not going to be forty to fifty mobile homes proposed for the property. He said if this request goes through, the neighbor is interested in purchasing the other property. Joyce asked if anyone else would like to speak in favor of the request. Hearing none, Joyce asked if there was anyone that would like to speak in opposition to the request. Hearing none, Joyce closed the public hearing for discussion among the Board members and a motion. Cable said there is no opposition for the subdivision which speaks volumes. Davis said this request is a totally different situation than what came before them a year ago. Slusher said he remembers traffic being one of the main concerns from the previous request which they do not have currently. Slusher made the motion to approve the rezoning request to rezone the specified parcel(s) on the rezoning application to the requested zoning district based upon the Determination of Consistency and Findings of Reasonableness and Public Interest statements that are included in the Planning Board agenda, submitted during the rezoning presentation and as may be amended, incorporated into the motion, to be included in the minutes, as well as the site plan(s) with any and all agreed upon revisions, also incorporated into the motion and that the request is also consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan. Davis made a second to the motion to approve the rezoning request. ______________________________________________________________________ Randolph County Planning Board Minutes Page 2 of 12 October 6, 2020 Joyce called the question on the motion to approve the rezoning request for Ace Avant Real Property Company, Inc., and the motion was adopted unanimously, and the rezoning was approved. Dale presented the second case of the night along with site plans and pictures of the site and surrounding properties as follows: BOBBY EARNHARDT, Asheboro, NC, is requesting that 87.48 acres located Jordan Valley Rd, Tabernacle Township, be rezoned from RA Residential Agricultural District to CVOE-CD Conventional Subdivision Overlay Exclusive Conditional District. Tax ID #7714527643, 7714727096. Secondary Growth Area. The proposed Conditional Zoning District would specifically allow a 48-lot site-built subdivision with a minimum house size of 1,500 sq. ft. as per site plan. Property Owner: Ashton Jade Earnhardt. Joyce opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone present to speak on behalf of the rezoning request. Taylor Callicutt, from Ivey and Eggleston attorneys, stated he was there to represent Earnhardt. He said he is hoping that once the proposal is explained, it will alleviate any concerns the audience may have regarding the request. He said H.R. Gallimore and Earnhardt would speak to them regarding any concerns they may have for the request. Davis asked Callicutt his capacity regarding the request. Callicutt answered that he is the attorney for the developer. H.R. Gallimore, real estate agent for Earnhardt, said he would like to address some of the concerns that have been brought to his attention. He said one of the concerns is traffic. He said they have been in contact with NCDOT and have been given recommendations regarding their proposals and they would follow all NCDOT requirements. Gallimore said that another concern which normally comes up with the larger subdivisions is the water quality which will not be a concern for this request because water will be supplied from Davidson Water rather than private wells. Gallimore said they have met all the requirements of the Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance for this request. He also said there have been inquiries made on the burning of debris on the property and Earnhardt has obtained all the proper permits to do so. Gallimore said some of the road naming had been questioned which was all preliminary and they would be happy to listen to any suggestions that are brought before them although the County mapping and addressing divisions would help finalize that portion of the request. Gallimore referred to and read Policy 6.5 in the Growth Management Plan which states: The protection of viable rural neighborhoods should be encouraged by compatible residential development to insure the continued existence as a major housing source and as a reflection of the long-term quality of life in Randolph County. ______________________________________________________________________ Randolph County Planning Board Minutes Page 3 of 12 October 6, 2020 He said he understands that everyone likes their solitude, but this parcel of land is very nice, would help the tax base and the quality of life in Randolph County. Cable asked which school district would be affected by the development. After discussion, Dale stated it would be Archdale-Trinity Middle School and Wheatmore High School and there would be no negative impact for the schools. Cable asked about concerns of traffic. Gallimore said they have been in contact with Mickey Tate with the NCDOT which has indicated they would not want driveways backing onto main road. He said NCDOT is cautious about when issuing permits to ensure safety of the public. Joyce asked if anyone else would like to speak in favor of the request. Hearing none, Joyce asked if there was anyone that would like to speak in opposition to the request. Morgan took a moment to remind the Board to speak clearly into their microphones so the audience could hear as well as explaining to the audience that they would have the opportunity to address the Board with any concerns or questions they may have regarding the request, followed up with the applicant answering any of those concerns. He said he wanted to make sure the audience knew the process so that they felt they were being treated fairly. Klas Anderson, 5172 Jordan Valley Rd., Trinity, NC, asked the Board members if any of them were familiar with Jordan Valley Rd. He said the road is 1.1 miles long, currently with thirty-six driveways and the potential for ten additional driveways. He also talked about the speed limit not being adequate for the road and the excessive increase in traffic that would be caused by this subdivision. Anderson said there is currently a mixture of housing types in the area and the neighbors due to the effects it will have on their real estate values and the fact that there are no restrictive covenants. Anderson said he had just spoken on the previous case heard tonight which had to be brought before the Board multiple times because the community did not like what was being proposed. He said they understand there will be development but not to this degree. He said the developer is trying to maximize the number of lots for financial gain, causing loss of natural areas as well as a loss to the neighborhood. He said the number and size of houses being proposed will be a loss to the dynamics of the neighborhood. He said neighbors moved to this area to be the country which is being disturbed with all the development. He mentioned a petition signed by the neighbors, included in the agenda packets for the Board members of all those that are against the request. He summarized by asking the Board to deny the request as presented, in favor of a plan with lower density of housing along with restrictive covenants as to what can be built within the subdivision. Cable asked what density of housing would be acceptable. Anderson said 48 homes were being proposed and he felt 20 would be acceptable. Cable asked why. Anderson said it would allow larger lot sizes, encouraging more expensive homes. Cable said the request from Earnhardt is currently for 1,500 heated square foot homes. Anderson said ______________________________________________________________________ Randolph County Planning Board Minutes Page 4 of 12 October 6, 2020 his information does not show the 1,500 square feet to be heated space. Cable said the he is proposing the 1,500 square feet to be heated square footage. There was additional discussion between Cable and Anderson regarding speed limit and that it is 55 mph because it is not posted by NCDOT. Anderson expressed his concerns regarding road frontages for the cul-de-sac and how it would be unappealing for the neighbors within the subdivision. Davis told Anderson any buyer would be aware of lot dimensions and frontages prior to their purchase. Anderson said with the fluctuation of housing market, when the market goes down and the property not having restrictions, you can only imagine what will happen to those properties. Davis said covenants would address some of the concerns. Morgan asked Anderson what type of restrictions he would like to see. Anderson said setback rules for house locations, type of housing, and 1,700 square feet homes rather than the 1,500 square feet being proposed. He said he understands that 1,500 square feet would be needed for starter homes but 48 of them would be too many. Jadie Andrews, 1772 Mountain Meadow Dr., Asheboro, said he would like to express some of his concerns for the development as well as some issues with the Development Impact Analysis (DIA), the Board has been given. He said under community land uses on the DIA, it only shows residential use when there are working farms and forestry tracts in the area. He mentioned several farms in the area that were not included on the DIA that he felt should have been. Andrews for this subdivision request is in the Rural Growth area rather than the Secondary Growth area. He also stated that if the development were approved, it would leave a large tract of land without access which the County is not in the habit of doing. Andrews also stated that just because other communities have developments with tightly packed housing, does not mean they have to allow it in their community which changes the face of their community as well as property values. Morgan asked Andrews if he was suggesting that the development would impact his property positively or negatively and what he based his answer on. Andrews said it would be a negative impact because as you see areas continue to urbanize, you see the values of that area change as well as the landscape for the area. He said there are already issues with drugs and such in the area which would potentially worsen by allowing more people to the area. Andrews explained that people moved to that community because it was rural, and they would like to keep it that way. Cable asked Andrews if he can do what he wants to on his own land. Andrews answered yes but he shows consideration for his neighbors. Cable asked Andrews if he could sell his property if he wanted to. Andrews answered yes. Morgan stated for clarification, that the property would lose its farm deferred status if rezoned. Andrews said he was aware and aware that if the community continued to lose agricultural property for development, it would change the face of the community. Cable asked Andrews if he has any recommendations or suggestions for the proposed development. Andrews said he would ask the Board to deny the request and has no ______________________________________________________________________ Randolph County Planning Board Minutes Page 5 of 12 October 6, 2020 suggestions regarding the development. Steve Lane, 4688 Jordan Valley Rd., read a statement from Randolph Co land development information stating the location and character of the use if developed according to the plan submitted, will be in harmony with the area in which it is to be located. He said he understood the point Cable was trying to make by doing what you want with your own land. He said they are all neighbors and Earnhardt lives among them. He said they all support him every day through the buildings or businesses he owns in Hillsville. He said they want a compromise, there should not be another 10 driveways allowed within 0.4 miles which is too many for such a small area. Lane told the Board he has two pages of names, addresses and signatures of people that are opposed to this rezoning and feels if it were to be proposed differently, they may be more receptive to the request. He said he did not know what would be acceptable to everyone other than having fewer homes, larger lots and fewer driveways connecting to Jordan Valley Rd would all be a good start. Lane said some of his property is located along Little Caraway Creek as well as some of the others that have properties down from the stream. He said with intense rains, there is a lot of drainage onto his property and has concerns of what will wash onto his property by adding 48 new septic systems uphill from him. Lane told the Board they are all neighbors and there is a big difference in being neighbors and neighborly. Morgan told Lane he was welcome to submit his signatures to the Clerk as evidence if he would like. Lane said he submitted them a couple of weeks ago. (They were included in the agenda packets given to the Board members). He said he had pictures of the flooding as well, but the Board was probably not interested in those. Morgan told him he could submit anything he had as evidence. (Lane did not submit any to the Clerk). Kenneth Wilson, 4610 Jordan Valley Rd., said he has a creek running through his property and there is a lot of flooding. He expressed his frustration with the inability to get the State to clean out the tiles to prevent additional flooding, so he has had to maintain it himself to prevent it from being as bad. He said he has concerns of additional flooding caused by adding more housing and the possibility of washing out Earnhardt Rd which is already cracked from the flooding. Wilson told the Board about problems he has with wrecks occurring near his property and the problems caused by no one stopping at the stop sign located near his property. Morgan asked Wilson to tell the Board again where his property is located. Wilson said he lives at 4610 Jordan Valley Rd which is at one end of the road and Klas lives on the other end. Melanie Cook, 5073 Jordan Valley Rd., said she would make her statements quick. She said she heard someone say that only one of the Board members had been out to Jordan Valley Rd. Morgan stopped her for a moment and said that everyone would have the opportunity to speak their peace however, the Board takes these cases seriously and asked for a show of hands from the Board members that have been to Jordan Valley Rd. ______________________________________________________________________ Randolph County Planning Board Minutes Page 6 of 12 October 6, 2020 and acknowledged that each one of them had been to the location. He said that when the Board members are given the requests, they visit the sites prior to the meeting and but all of their cases. Cook said she and her husband Rob live directly across from the mobile home park and already deal with excessive traffic going in and out. all hours of the day and night. She said it is a beautiful area and they do not want to see any additional homes creating more traffic on their road. She asked the Board to please deny the request. Teresa Andrews, 1772 Mountain Meadow Dr., said one of her main concerns is flooding. She said she knew it had already been mentioned, but asked to share some of her findings from an analysis she ran of pre-development and post-development for this specific site and submitted as part of the record after her presentation. (Exhibit 1 is included at the end of these minutes). She said her comparison shows that peak water flow from a one year, 24-hour storm will increase over 4 times. She said the volume of water from this site would more than double after development with the impervious surfaces and without treatment, will cause increased flooding, additional erosion, and larger streams. Andrews said these calculations are significant and should be considered as part of the request. Modlin asked what amount of rainfall she used in her analysis. Andrews said it is a one year, 24-hour storm which is a normal storm used to measure storm intensity, it is not the 100-year or 500-year storm like a hurricane. Morgan asked Andrews if she used cleared land or pastured land for her analysis because the results would be affected based on the conditions. Andrews said this analysis was based on the current conditions of the property and the potential post development conditions. Cable asked for additional clarification regarding the storm frequency and intensity. Andrews explained that the type of storm used for her calculations were a normal storm, occurring annually and has the lowest calculations available. She said a 100-year event has a one percent chance of happening. Davis asked Dale if there were guidelines for this type of concern. Dale said at one time, the State had considered placing regulations for us to follow on larger subdivisions, which never occurred. Greg Willow, 4707 Jordan Valley Rd., Trinity, said he has lived in this area for approximately 30 years and this would be a big change for the area. He said he rides horses up and down the road now but adding over 200 car passes each day will change the dynamics of the area. Willow said there are people from the mobile home park that are also opposed to the request and he would assume they would be afraid to speak out because their landlord is the developer. He also said the pollution from the development would have an impact on the creek as well. ______________________________________________________________________ Randolph County Planning Board Minutes Page 7 of 12 October 6, 2020 Willow talked about the potential of increased crime rates due to the large number of houses being proposed. He said he owns twenty acres of land and can do whatever he wishes with his own property as mentioned earlier, but he would take his neighbors into consideration before putting this much negative impact on them. He said half the number of homes and larger lots would be a great place to start. Willow said he has livestock that will occasionally get loose and there has not been a problem so far. He said when you add this much traffic, it will cause a dangerous situation for the neighborhood. Willow said he also feels this development will have an impact on the value of his property and there are plenty of other areas within the County to obtain tax revenue with other developments without changing the dynamics of their area and asks strongly that the Board vote no to the request. Cindy Rutledge, 4848 Jordan Valley Rd, said most of the concerns she has have already been touched on by other residents in the area. She said part of the charm of living on Jordan Valley Rd is the wonderful neighbors and the consideration everyone has for one another and their privacy. She said you do not even know you have anyone near you unless you need them, and they will be there in an instant. She said that she experienced the kindness of her neighbors firsthand this past year from the loss of her husband. Rutledge said their road is in disrepair and she has concerns that the number of large construction vehicles would contribute to the wear and tear on the road, increase the possibility for accidents, and increase the litter issues they currently deal with in their neighborhood. She said even though there have been burning permits obtained for the property, the smoke affects the air quality for the neighborhood when outside of their homes, especially those that may have breathing issues. She asked the Board to deny the request for the 48 homes based on the increased traffic, noise, and pollution impacts it will have on the neighborhood. She said a proposal of twenty homes or less, larger in size, would be more acceptable by cutting their concerns of traffic, noise, and pollution in half. Cable asked Rutledge how many homes she suggested may be acceptable. Rutledge said she would propose twenty or less. Lorraine Smith, 5017 Jordan Valley Rd. Trinity said she has lived there for forty-three years and her home is directly across from the proposed development. She said she loves the area and the neighbors, and this proposal brings tremendous sadness to her. Joyce asked if there was anyone else that would like to speak in opposition to the request. Hearing none, Joyce asked the applicant if he would like to address any of the concerns from the neighbors. Gallimore said NCDOT does not take traffic and safety lightly and the development will have to follow all the requirements given to them by NCDOT. He said there were concerns mentioned earlier about the remaining acreage of this large tract being landlocked. He said even though it is not common knowledge, Earnhardt has a written agreement to purchase the parcel adjacent to that one, giving him access. ______________________________________________________________________ Randolph County Planning Board Minutes Page 8 of 12 October 6, 2020 Gallimore said he wanted to point out that the cost of a 1,500 square foot home is costing approximately $195,000.00, bearing in mind that this would be the minimum requirement, the homes could be larger. He said in regards to the water run-off concerns, DWQ (previously known as DENR) has strict guidelines and requirements set when disturbing more than an acre of land and you have to comply with all of the permitting and silk fencing requirements or you are heavily fined and there is no difference for water run-off when you build multiple chicken houses and barns or twenty, three-thousand square foot homes, it would all be the same impervious impact. Gallimore reminded the audience that Earnhardt lives in the neighborhood and he is not going to do anything that would negatively impact the neighborhood. He said if there are traffic problems, there are agencies to handle those situations such as the highway patrol He also said he does not believe that you would have to worry about increased crime from someone who would spend $200,000.00 on a home. Gallimore said there is approximately 150,000 people in Randolph County and there are a lot of farm deferred properties in the County which do not pay taxes. He said this project will be around eight million dollars before complete and that will certainly add to the tax revenue. Gallimore told the Board they have complied with every rule and regulation set forth by the County for this development and asked Dale if Earnhardt had submitted the restrictive covenants or if he had previously spoken in error. Dale said he thought a copy had been submitted although he did not have them available at this time. Gallimore said he would like to remind the Board that even though there have been 48 lots requested, there is a big possibility that the soil evaluations could reduce the number of lots available for development. Modlin asked about some of the smaller lots being proposed in the subdivision. Gallimore reviewed the maps with Modlin and it was concluded that the smaller lots of the proposed subdivision all appeared to be located on the interior of the subdivision, north of Tessa Ct. Cable asked about the additional acreage that had been mentioned earlier. Gallimore said approximately 30 acres will remain outside of this subdivision proposal and he would like to ensure everyone that it will not be left landlocked because of a written agreement Earnhardt has to purchase adjoining land. He said he would also like to point out that if Earnhardt were looking to maximize his full potential for the development, he would have included the 30 remaining acres as part of his proposal. Davis also asked Gallimore if restrictive covenants had been submitted. Gallimore said he believed they were and asked Dale to verify. Dale said he believed the covenants were submitted to a staff member that could not be present for the meeting. Gallimore assured the Board there would be restrictions. Davis asked Gallimore for more information regarding DENR mentioned earlier. Gallimore explained to Davis that anytime you disturb more than an acre of soil at one time, other than for agricultural purposes, the Department of Water Quality (DWQ), ______________________________________________________________________ Randolph County Planning Board Minutes Page 9 of 12 October 6, 2020 previously known as the Department of Environmental Natural Resources (DENR), gets involved and places guidelines and restrictions on the property for protection from soil erosion and such. Modlin asked if the topography of the property would change due to grading or clear cutting. Gallimore said in his experience, there will be some grading, but he is not sure to the extent it will be required. Modlin asked if the grading would be completed as an overall project or grading individual lots as developed. Gallimore explained that there would be overall grading for the projecting street placements and measurements, but each individual lot would require additional grading as it is developed. He said the developer would typically grade four or five lots at one time for development purposes. Davis asked about their plans for clearing debris. Morgan asked if someone was available to answer how the debris would be removed from the property. He said that is usually a question from the neighbors. Bobby Earnhardt, 1825 Mountain Meadow Dr., Asheboro said they try to do the most economical way of clearing which is to burn. He said you burn all that can be burned, excluding stumps which will be hauled off. He said this will not be a mass graded site. He said the road will be graded and each individual lot will be graded separately. Morgan asked if he plans to grade the entire road at one time or in stages. Earnhardt said it would probably be graded at one time. Vaughan asked if the erosion issues would be addressed. Earnhardt said you must submit plans for approval and permitting which gives them unannounced, 24-hour access to the site. Cable asked if there were any possible modifications to his proposal based on some of the concerns, he has heard such as reducing the number of lots or increasing his proposed house size. Earnhardt said he will not reduce his proposal to 20 lots. He also said that he would like to keep the cost of construction below $200,000.00 and a 1,500 heated square foot home will be pushing that limit. Morgan reminded the Board that house size could not be used as gauge for deciding for a rezoning. He said house types, building materials and roof pitches are types of things that can be used when deciding. Davis asked if density of the development can be considered. Morgan answered yes. Besson said there seems to be more complaints about the number of houses being proposed with suggestions of reducing the number down to twenty. He asked if Earnhardt would be willing to meet them in the middle and reduce the number of lots to thirty or even forty home sites. Earnhardt said he may consider forty, but he feels he will be close to that number after approved soil evaluations anyway. He said he expects to lose four to five lots because of soil conditions. Morgan explained to the Board that the application asked for 48 lots for the proposed subdivision and it appears to him that three of those lots are already in existence so correct. Earnhardt answered yes. ______________________________________________________________________ Randolph County Planning Board Minutes Page 10 of 12 October 6, 2020 Beeson asked if there would be any restrictions for the lots that would potentially back out onto Jordan Valley Rd. Earnhardt said one of the recommendations from NCDOT was to have a turn-around in the driveway so they do not have to back out onto Jordan Valley Rd. Cable asked if this subdivision would be like other subdivisions like Hoover Hill. Earnhardt said this subdivision would have larger homes. Davis asked if his plans would include attached garages. Earnhardt said he would have to have an approval before going any further but some of them would have garages, others could have carports. Beeson asked if NCDOT would set a speed limit for the subdivision if the request is approved. Joyce said the speed limit in his development was reduced from 55 to 25 mph once NCDOT was contacted to evaluate. Joyce asked the Board if there were any additional questions for the applicant. Hearing none, Joyce closed the public hearing for discussion among the Board members and a motion. Cable said the same issues have been touched on that always come up with a new development request. He said you have long-time residents that do not want to see changes to their neighborhood. He said regarding traffic, he has not heard anything substantial that would be adverse other than they do not want a new neighborhood and NCDOT have rules and restrictions that will be put into place. He said his concern is not having covenants to review. Vaughan addressed those in opposition. She said she sees change in her neighborhood and feels their pain. She said there was a mobile home developed within a ¼ of a mile of her farm. She said development will occur because of the demands and it is up to us to preserve the beauty the best we can unlike other larger areas she works in. Davis said he does not like to see agricultural land developed but there must be somewhere for younger people to start and it has happened in my back yard as well. Vaughan said her first house was only 1,400 square feet and she sometimes wishes she still had that home because it is much less to clean. Beeson asked if they should vote without seeing the covenants. Joyce said he thought there had to be a vote tonight.

Determination of Consistency with the Growth Management Plan. A. Consistency with Growth Management Plan Map The Randolph County Growth Management Plan map for the southeast area shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as Secondary Growth Area. Secondary Growth Areas are generally transitional in nature and uses change from commercial and agricultural uses to more residential uses. B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan Policy 6.5 The protection of viable rural neighborhoods should be encouraged by compatible residential development to insure the continued existence as a major housing source and as a reflection of the long-term quality of life in Randolph County. Consistency Analysis: Of the twenty-four subdivisions within one mile of the proposed subdivision location, six are mobile home subdivisions with the remaining eighteen subdivisions being site-built subdivisions. Based on this calculation, Growth Management Plan as it would ensure major housing in an area already infused with major housing developments. Policy 6.6 Development in designated flood zones shall be avoided. Subdivision lots that are partially within designated flood zones shall compute the minimum lot size as that area located outside the flood zone. Consistency Analysis: A portion of this property under request for rezoning does contain a designated flood zone. The developer and surveyor have designed the subdivision to prevent lots in the subdivision in the flood zoning area from being developed for residential use. 2. Statement of Reasonableness and Public Interest Reasonableness and Public Interest Analysis: The policies listed above illustrate how this request is consistent with the Ordinance, the Plan and applicable General Statutes. The parcel in this rezoning request is subject to the Conditions agreed upon between the property owner and the Planning Board. These Conditions will limit the amount and type of development on the property reducing the impact on adjoining parcels. The proposed use will also increase the tax base and increase economic activity within the County. _______________________________ _______________________________ Randolph County Planning Director Chair, Randolph County Planning Board _______________________________ _______________________________ Clerk to Planning Board Date This rezoning request has been appealed to the Randolph County Board of Commissioners. COUNTY OF RANDOLPH CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION AND FINDING OF REASONABLENESS AND PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION FOR REZONING BY ACE AVANT REAL PROPERTY COMPANY, INC REZONING REQUEST #2020-00002420 NORTH CAROLINA RANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD Pursuant to North Carolina General Statutes § 153A-341 and 342, the Randolph County Planning Board finds that the proposed zoning district map amendments to CVOE-CD Conventional Subdivision Overlay Exclusive Conditional District as described in the application of Ace Avant Real Property Company, Inc., are consistent with the Randolph County Unified Development Ordinance and the 2009 Randolph County Growth Management Plan and are reasonable and in the public interest for the following reasons: 1. Determination of Consistency with the Growth Management Plan. A. Consistency with Growth Management Plan Map The Randolph County Growth Management Plan map for the southeast area shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as Secondary Growth Area. Secondary Growth Areas are generally transitional in nature and uses change from commercial and agricultural uses to more residential uses B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan Policy 6.2 Major subdivision development which does not have access to either central water or sewage facilities should locate in areas where soil and geological characteristics are conducive to the long-term support of on- site systems such as wells and septic tanks. Consistency Analysis: This area of the County is not served by either water and sewage facilities, and as such, the development will rely on soil and geological characteristics that would allow septic systems and wells. Based upon this along with the existing development patterns established in the area, this request is consistent with the Growth Management Plan. Policy 6.5 The protection of viable rural neighborhoods should be encouraged by compatible residential development to insure the continued existence as a major housing source and as a reflection of the long-term quality of life in Randolph County. Consistency Analysis: Of the twenty-five subdivisions within one mile of the proposed subdivision location, eight are mobile home subdivisions with the remaining seventeen subdivisions being site-built subdivisions. Based on this calculation, allowing the creation of this subdivision would allow viable rural neighborhoods to be in compliance with the Growth Management Plan as it would ensure major housing in an area already infused with major housing developments. 2. Statement of Reasonableness and Public Interest Reasonableness and Public Interest Analysis: The policies listed above illustrate how this request is consistent with the Ordinance, the Plan and applicable General Statutes. The parcel in this rezoning request is subject to the Conditions agreed upon between the property owner and the Planning Board.

Determination of Consistency with the Growth Management Plan. A. Consistency with Growth Management Plan Map The Randolph County Growth Management Plan map for the northeast area shows the parcel to be rezoned in an area designated as Primary Growth Area. Primary Growth Areas generally lie along major transportation corridors and have access to urban services and have mixed uses of residential, commercial and industrial development. B. Consistency with Growth Policies in the Growth Management Plan Policy 4.1 Provide for sites in Randolph County jurisdiction where rural commercial activity can locate; with the goal of increasing economic activity; job creation, and the provision of services to the rural community. Consistency Analysis: As this property is in a Primary Growth Area which allows for a mixture of zoning jurisdiction would increase economic activity, job creations and the provision of services to the rural community. Policy 4.3 Individual Rural Business or Highway Commercial rezoning decisions will depend upon the scale of the proposed development as it relates to the specific site and location weighed against impacts to adjoining rural land uses. Consistency Analysis: This Highway Commercial Conditional District rezoning request is not rezoning the entire parcel-only the portion of the property to be used for the automobile sales lot and future automotive repair shop. By using only a portion of the property, the applicant is lessening the adverse impacts to adjoining property owners and rural land uses. 2.

The parcel in this rezoning request is subject to the Conditions agreed upon between the property owner and the Planning Board. These Conditions will limit the amount and type of development on the property reducing the impact on adjoining parcels. The proposed use will also increase the tax base and increase economic activity within the County. _______________________________ _______________________________ Randolph County Planning Director Chair, Randolph County Planning Board _______________________________ _______________________________ Clerk to Planning Board Date MOTION TO APPROVE A CONDITIONAL DISTRICT REZONING NORTH CAROLINARANDOLPH COUNTY PLANNING BOARD “I make the motion toAPPROVEthis rezoning request to rezone the specified parcel(s) onthe rezoning applicationto the requested zoning district based upon the Determination of Consistencyand Findings of Reasonableness and Public Interest statementsthat areincluded in the Planning Board agenda,submitted during the rezoning presentation and as may be amended, incorporated into the motion, to be included in the minutes, as well as the site plan(s)with any and all agreed upon revisions, also incorporated into the motionand that the request is also consistent with the Randolph County Growth Management Plan.” If making a second to the motion, please change to say, “I second the motion . . .”and continue reading the rest of the motion.
