LAND USE INFORMATION PRESENTED AT THE PUBLIC HEARING Site and Area Description The subject property is vacant and consists of 14.45± acres of land that is bordered by US Highway 1 North, Deep River Road, and the Deep River.

Heavy Industrial Conditional Use zoning exist in the area northwest of the site and west of US Highway 1 and is the location of Wake Stone Rock Quarry. Staff Analysis The subject property was zoned to Highway Commercial Conditional Use District in 1990. At that time the former owners were proposing to build a restaurant. The current owner is marketing the property and is seeking to rezone it to allow all commercial uses permitted in the Highway Commercial (HC) district. The proposed Highway Commercial (HC) district is established to accommodate uses that depend upon a large flow of traffic and convenient access, such as retailing of durable goods, the provision of commercial services to industrial areas, and the provision of services to tourists. The minimum dimensional standards in the HC district include a lot width of 50 feet, a front yard setback of 10 feet, and 0 rear and side yard setbacks. (A list of uses allowed in the HC district is attached for your reference) Utilities: The subject property has access to public water via an 8" water main in the right-of- way of Deep River Road. A private onsite septic system will be required for wastewater disposal. Emergency Response: The Deep River Fire District covers the area of the petitioned site.
