The tract has over 2,000 feet of road frontage on Highway 421N and over 800 feet of frontage on Cumnock Road and is currently vacant. The site will be accessed from Cumnock Road due to US Highway 421N being a full controlled access highway. Existing Zoning and Land Use Zoning surrounding the site is Residential Agricultural (RA) and Residential Restricted (RR) district. Across the Deep River in Chatham County the area within 1500LF of US Highway 421 is zoned Residential Agricultural RA -1 with the remainder being un- zoned. The primary land uses in the area are low - density single family dwellings and undeveloped land. The land immediately north of the subject tract is owned by the applicant and is currently vacant. The applicant also owns two other tracts (200 ± - acres) east of Cumnock Road and north and south of Cotten Road. South of the tract and being south of US Highway 421N is an undeveloped 640± acre tract of land. Staff Analysis To date, most of the land in the vicinity of the rezoning remains undeveloped with low- density residential lots. However, the property requested for rezoning is located adjacent to a major highway corridor and thoroughfare. The 2020 Land Use Plan shows the area at the intersection of US Hwy 421 and Cumnock Road within a Highway node which allows for retail and commercial uses. Sanitary sewer lines are located east of the site along Big Buffalo Creek. These attributes supports the development of non - residential properties. The Residential Agricultural and Residential Restricted district is intended for very low- density residential and agricultural uses. The dimensional standards include a minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet in the RA district and 30,000 square feet in the RR district. The minimum building setbacks in the RA and RR district is 30ft. front yard, 3011. rear yard and 15ft. side yard setbacks. I of4
