95 intensity agricultural operations as well as agri-business and supportive industrial and commercial uses. The dimensional requirements of the RA district include a minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet (.92 acs.) and principal building setbacks of 30 feet front yard, 30 feet rear yard and 15 feet side yards. The Heavy Industrial (HI) district is established to provide for areas of heavy manufacturing, concentrated fabrication, manufacturing and industrial uses which are suitable based upon adjacent land uses, access to transportation and the availability of public services and facilities. It is the intent of this district to provide an environment for industries that is unencumbered by nearby residential or commercial development. HI should be located in areas where conflicts with other uses can be minimized to promote orderly transitions and buffers between uses. The HI district is established in order to provide sites for activities which involve major transportation terminals, and manufacturing facilities that have a greater impact on the surrounding area than industries found in the LI district. HI districts should not be located adjacent to any property that is zoned for residential use, including mixed-use developments with an adjacent residential designation. HI zones should be restricted so as to have direct access to or within proximity to a major or minor thoroughfare. This shall not apply where an existing building or structure used as permitted within the HI District has been established prior to the adoption of this Ordinance on a parcel subject to an application for rezoning. The HI district requires a minimum front building setback of 30 feet and zero rear and zero side yard setbacks. Utilities The site has access to public water and any wastewater will be served by a private system. Emergency Response: The Deep River Fire District covers the area of the petitioned site. Environmental: The subject tract is not located in a flood hazard area. The property is located within the Cape Fear WS -IV Protected Area (CFS -WS -N -PA) watershed. Non-residential development occurring in a WS -IV watershed classification, which requires a Sedimentation and Erosion Control permit, may occur at no more than twenty-four percent (24%) built upon area for projects utilizing curb and gutter and at no more than thirty-six percent (36%) built -upon area if the project does not utilize curb and gutter for storm water control. Ten percent (10%) of the CFS - WS -IV -PA watershed area may be developed with new development projects up to seventy (70%) built -upon area as Special Intensity Allocations (SIAs). SIAs are allocated by the Watershed Administrator on a "first come, first served" basis upon the approval and issuance of the appropriate permit. The total area remaining for SIA's in the CFS -WS -IV -PA is over 3,000 acres. Development Standards: If rezoned, all uses permitted in the Heavy Industrial (HI) zoning district would be allowed and any future development of the site will be required to meet all applicable design standards of the Unified Development Ordinance.
