Meeting Date: 9/18/2018 Agenda Topic Cover Sheet / last modified June 13, 2018 Town of Holly Springs Town Council Meeting Agenda Form Agenda Placement: Public Hearing (Special Recognitions (awards, proclamations), Requests & Communications (reports, information presentations), Public Hearings, Consent Agenda, Unfinished Business, New Business, Closed Session or Agenda Addition) Subject Title: 18-REZ-07 12136 Holly Springs New Hill Rd Presenter Name(s): Matt Beard SUBJECT HIGHLIGHTS: The Town has received a request to rezone two parcels of land totaling approximately 26.7 acres situated along Holly Springs New Hill Road, just west of the Addison Pond and Trinity Creek subdivisions. The applicant is requesting to rezone the properties from PUD: Planned Unit Development to R-10 CU: Conditional Use Residential. The subject properties, along with present-day 12 Oaks, were once part of the Finisterra PUD which was a large-scale golf course master planned community. However, Finisterra never developed and 12 Oaks came into fruition and did not include all of the parcels of the original FInisterra PUD. So although these parcels are technically zoned PUD, it is an empty district because the Finisterra PUD plan is in fact expired and no longer in effect. The applicant held their neighborhood meeting on Aug. 9 at the Hunt Center. Their neighborhood meeting report is attached and states that no neighbors attended the meeting but that one had reached out prior to the meeting. That neighbor, Rene Plante at 208 Carving Tree Court, called Jon Frazier prior to the meeting to ask how close future homes could be to his property. Mr. Plante was satisfied with Mr. Frazier's response. Advisory board recommendation, if applicable: The Planning Board discussed the following issues and concerns at its meeting Aug. 28: Why a transportation impact analysis was not triggered by the proposed rezoning, and whether or not our thresholds for triggering a TIA are too high. Proximity to the Shearon Harris power plant, and evacuation routes in the event of emergency. If road improvements would include realignments to try to straighten Holly Springs New Hill RD where possible. The difference between roadway improvements for residential vs commercial development on the site. The Planning Board recommended to Approve. The Planning Board vote was: 7-1-1 Those voting against the motion were: Mr. Crandall expressed concerns for the lack of sufficient information on traffic studies and fiscal impacts on the Town as well as water and sewer improvements. Staff recommendation, if applicable: Staff has reviewed the requested Zone Map Amendment and has found that the petition complies with the minimum Town requirements.

STAFF ANALYSIS PROJECT OVERVIEW The Town has received a request to rezone two parcels of land totaling approximately 26.7 acres situated along Holly Springs New Hill Road, just west of the Addison Pond and Trinity Creek subdivisions. The applicant is requesting to rezone the properties from PUD: Planned Unit Development to R-10 CU: Conditional Use Residential. The subject properties, along with present-day 12 Oaks, were once part of the Finisterra PUD which was a large-scale golf course master planned community. However, Finisterra never developed and 12 Oaks came into fruition and developed under its current boundaries and the two subject parcels were never included in the development equation. So although these parcels are technically zoned PUD, it is an empty district because the Finisterra PUD plan is in fact expired and no longer in effect.
Zone Map Change Request: The request is to change the zoning from PUD: Planned Unit Development to R-10 CU: Conditional Use Residential. Developer Commitments: The developer has offered the following conditions as part of their rezoning petition: 1.

A varied color palette shall be utilized on homes throughout the subdivision to include a minimum of three color families for siding and shall include varied trim, shutter and accent colors complementing the siding color. 5. Front porches shall be a minimum of 6 feet deep. 6. Trees shall be preserved in accordance with the proposed unified development ordinance section 7.01.j, required tree preservation. 7. The town requires certain fees to be paid upon development of land and for the granting of a building permit. said fees are listed in the town s annual budget, and with this rezoning the developer agrees he/she (i) is familiar with these fees, (ii) does not dispute the reasonableness of these fees as set forth in the town s annual budget; and (iii) notwithstanding any reimbursements discussed at this time through an infrastructure reimbursement agreement, hereby agrees to timely pay all normal and customary fees applicable to developer in connection with the
residential project. Such fees are listed in the current year annual budget of fees at the time the fee is due under the ordinary course of development. 8. The town requires, pursuant to n.c.g.s. 160a-372, the dedication and construction of streets and rights of way, as shown in the approved comprehensive transportation plan, to create conditions essential to public health, safety, and the general welfare. A rezoning may be delayed until such time as necessary transportation improvements (to include offsite improvements) may be made, unless the town and the developer can enter into agreements to accelerate the time for completion of these needed improvements. 9. Developer agrees to pay a fee-in-lieu for the signal at green oaks parkway and new hill road proportionate to the projects impact. PLANNING & ZONING Vision Holly Springs Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use The Vision Holly Springs Comprehensive Plan designates these properties as residential. This category is intended to provide for a wide range of residential densities and limited public and institutional uses. Densities may range from (2) units per acre up to fifteen (15) units per acre. Densities up to fifteen units per acre shall be situated around the core areas of the Community Growth Areas or adjacent to major employment centers or regional center. As development extends further from the core, densities would decrease. When business and commercial uses locate at major intersection adjacent to residential areas concern should focus on the intensity of the proposed uses and appropriate buffering of adjacent uses and appearance of those uses should limit impacts on adjacent residential uses. Higher densities will be located near core areas or adjacent to regional centers. Future Land Use Objectives that apply to this request include: 5) Establish a series of pedestrian friendly neighborhoods that will enable the town to maintain a small town character as it grows and changes. 7) Ensure that new housing is appropriate in type, location and density to minimize environmental impacts and maintain community character. 8) Accommodate a variety of housing types that includes single family, executive housing, townhouses, condominiums, and apartments. Community Character According to the Community Character section, the property is located along a major thoroughfare and will be evaluated to ensure that the project will positively contribute to the Town s Village Character. Community Character Objectives that apply to this request include: (1) Encourage a village atmosphere by creating a sense of community and identity for the residents and businesses of Holly Springs. (8) The Town shall encourage the development of pedestrian oriented developments. (9) The Town shall ensure residential neighborhoods contribute to an overall sense of community through the interconnectivity of roads and pedestrian pathways. Zone Map Change Analysis Since the current PUD zoning has expired, any development on the subject properties would require the property to be rezoned. As the property is designated as Residential on the Comprehensive Plan, and is adjacent to several single family residential subdivision, it is unlikely that the rezoning from PUD to R-10 CU will have a significant impact on the adjacent properties. The maximum density allowed in the R-10 district is 3.25 units per acre. The adjacent Addison Pond subdivision was approved with R-10 zoning with a maximum density of 3.25 units per acre, but the actual subdivision plan for the property yielded only 1.84 units per acre. Likewise, the Trinity Creek subdivision just southeast of the subject property
was approved with R-10 CU, with conditions limiting development density to 2.5 units per acre, but the subdivision plan yielded only 2.17 units per acre. Therefore, while the requested district would allow up to 3.25 units per acre, the application of other development requirements would likely result in a development of similar density to the existing subdivisions in the immediate vicinity. A Conditional Use District allows the Petitioner to place specific conditions on the property that are more restrictive than the minimum zoning regulations in the Town s Unified Development Ordinance. Once a Petitioner has placed such conditions with the Zoning Map Change request, they cannot be removed or modified to reduce the restriction. During the review and consideration process the Petitioner may add additional conditions or make the proposed conditions more restrictive. ENGINEERING Utility Availability and Impacts due to change of Permitted Uses: A project on this site will be required to tie to municipal water and sewer. Additional studies or evaluation may be needed at that time to determine size and location of any extensions. This project will also be required to improve the adjacent public street to the current standards as outlined in the Town of Holly Springs Engineering Design and Construction Standards and the Comprehensive Transportation Plan. It was determined that this project did not meet the threshold for a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). All projects in this area will be required to meet the Town s NPDES Phase 2 Post Construction Stormwater Ordinance and any applicable requirements of the stream basin. STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING BOARD PLAN CONSISTENCY STATEMENT: The requested zone map change from PUD to R-10 CU is consistent with the Vision Holly Springs Comprehensive Growth Plan since the Future Land Use Plan Map indicates this property as Residential, which allows for residential development between 2 and 8 units per acre, and the proposed R-10 CU: Conditional Use Residential District allows for single-family residential development with a maximum 3.25 dwelling units an acre which is appropriate for the subject properties since they are not located within a Community Growth Area.
