IV.0 Zoning Map Amendment (Rezoning) - Planning Board Recommendation An application was submitted by Sandhills Partnership to rezone two adjoining tracts of land totaling 4.86 +/ - acres developed with a house addressed as 6400 Old Jefferson Davis Highway and a mobile home park addressed as 15, 25, 35, 45, and 65 Azalea Lane, formerly known as the Wilbur R. Stephens Mobile Home Park, from residential Agricultural (RA) to Azalea Lane Conditional Zoning District, with the intent being to expand an existing mobile home park via a site plan specific conditional zoning district. The subject property identified as 9528-93-8685-00 and 9528-93-6769-00 as depicted on Lee County Tax Map 9538 and 9528. The Planning Board considered this item at their July 20, 2020 meeting and recommended by a unanimous vote that the Commissioners approve the request by Sandhills Partnership to rezone two adjoining tracts of land totaling 4.86 +/- acres developed with a house addressed as 6400 Old Jefferson Davis Highway and a mobile home park addressed as 15, 25, 35, 45 and 65 Azalea Lane, formerly known as the Wilbur R. Stephens Mobile Home Park, from Residential Agricultural (RA) to Azalea Lane Conditional Zoning District, with the intent being to expand an existing mobile home park via a site plan specific conditional zoning district. In making the recommendation, the board finds that the rezoning proposal from Residential Agricultural (RA) to the Azalea Lane Conditional Zoning District appears to be reasonable and in the public interest since it would allow the expansion of an existing mobile home park in a rural area, while maintaining the quiet country character and minimizing the impact of the expansion on the adjoining property owners. Maintaining a 25 ft landscape buffer of existing mature trees allows the developer to be a good neighbor while also allowing an investment in the property and the addition of, hopefully, additional affordable housing in the area. Also, this request complies with most of the current design standards for mobile home parks and therefore, appears to meet the intent of the ordinance. 02-REZ@AZALEA LN-RECO&ORD&EXHIBIT.pdf Motion: Motion that the rezoning request appears to comply with the Plan SanLee "Countryside" designation, in that even though it does not specifically mention mobile home parks, it allows single-family homes in a residential area on the outskirts of a core urbanized area, and this land use is a group of single-family homes on one tract of land in a rural area of the County and the intent appears to be to preserve the rural character of the area; therefore, the motion is that the request is consistent with the adopted long-range plan.
