Joint public hearing regarding a proposed amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance to create a new airport density overlay district and to consider zoning amendment to the official zoning map to apply new airport density overlay district. Marshall Downey, Planning Director, stated that Planning staff has worked with the executive board and staff of the Raleigh Executive Jetport Regional Airport regarding the need for updated zoning rules in and around the airport due to concern about the ever- increasing market for residential development and the need to create zoning rules around the airport to discourage higher density neighborhoods and subdivisions. The proposal consists of a two-part process. This is a text amendment and potential rezoning for the County. During the development of the City/County land use plan, staff met with people to speak regarding a land use perspective about the property located around the airport. Airport representatives expressed concerns regarding the lack of authority around the airport to prevent residential encroachment. The first of two public meetings occurred in August 2018. Notices were sent to properties in the area as well as adjoining landowners. Planning staff is proposing a new set of rules that would create new overlay zoning district around the airport that would set a density limit of one unit per five acres for those properties located within the new zone. The majority of the area in this new boundary is currently zoned RA, which is intended for agricultural and single-family residential and allows a density of one unit per 0.92 acre. The new rules also include an exception under the UDO's current definition of a minor subdivision. Under this Page 3 19
