Q: What type of development or activity could take place on the subject site today?

Currently, the subject property has several future land use designations, including: Rural Agricultural, which allows for the development of 1 dwelling unit per 10 acres; Low Density Residential, which allows up to 4 dwelling units per acre; Low-Medium Density Residential, which allows up to 10 dwelling units per acre; and Activity Center Residential, which allows up to 30 dwelling units per acre. The property is currently zoned R-1A and R-CE, which allow for the development of residential lots ranging in size from 7,500 square feet (R-1A) to 1-acre (R-CE).

Q: What type of activity could be considered if the request were adopted by the Board of County Commissioners?

The requested Planned Development future land use designation, would allow for a mixture of land uses including single family residential homes and townhouses as well as commercial and office development. The Planned Development future land use designation requires that the property be rezoned to a P-D zoning district prior to development. This district enables the ability to apply any conditions and restrictions deemed necessary by the Board of County Commissioners.

Q: What are Future Land Use designations?

Future Land Use designations are long-range (20-year) planning categories that generally describe the types of activity or development that can be considered on property located in Orange County. These designations indicate the allowable residential density (number of units per acre) and intensity (square footage of non-residential development). Future land use designations are adopted as part of the County's 2000-2020 Comprehensive Policy Plan and overseen by the State.

Q: What are Zoning districts?

Zoning districts are more descriptive planning classifications, but must be consistent with Future Land Use designations. Zoning districts regulate specific uses, building size, setbacks and parking requirements.

Q: What is the Urban Service Area (USA) and is the subject site located within it?

The subject site is located in the USA, which consists of those lands within Orange County where urban development patterns exist or are planned. Urban development patterns typically include residential and commercial areas where utility services (water and wastewater), roadway networks, and community facilities such as schools and parks are located. Most areas outside of the County's USA are not planned for urban development, but provide for a rural lifestyle or support agricultural activity.
