Further information provided by staff.

All right. Thank you, Mr. Chair, good evening board. I am submitting the agenda abstract and supporting documents into the official record of the town. First item before you tonight is RA 202506. It is a resigning requested by Hazen and Sor at 6305 Duncan Cook Road, pin number 0636998066. This resoning is a total of 5.785 acres from the Wake County R30 zoning district to the residential agricultural conditional zoning district. Staff recommends approval of the proposed zoning map amendment and it as it is reasonable and in the best interest of the public for the following reasons. The requested zoning map amendment is consistent with the 2040 community vision land use plan classification of rural residential. Number two, the requested zoning district support uh falls within the LUP's tier R3 controlled investment area per the 2040 LUP's recommendation policy 4.1 manage future growth and development in accordance with the priority infrastructure investment areas map. Number three, the requested zoning district supports LUP policy 4.3. Capitalize on strategic partnerships as the property is co-owned by the town of Fuwayina and the town of Holly Springs to strategically bring water to the area through the Sanford conveyance waterline project. And number four, the requested zoning district is complimentary to the existing uses in the general vicinity of the subject property and the pro proposed sight specific condition effectively manages future development of the site. The petitioner is here tonight and I am also available to answer any questions.

Does anybody have any questions for staff? No, I have just one. In the um the permitted uses, it says use of subject property is limited to those that serve a public purpose, which obviously makes some sense, but is there any more language that has to be in there? Like has to be owned by the town. So, I mean, you could interpret public purpose lots of different ways, but I assume this is for, you know, the the water expansion and the booster plant and it's going to be a townowned piece. Does that have to be specifically stated in there or does this kind of cover everything? This is a common condition that we've used on some of our public projects before. Okay. All right. Just want to make sure that that was we were good to go there.

Yeah. One of one of the things I liked about that is it does open it up for if we come up with another purpose for that property such as putting a greenway on it or something like that. It's still a public purpose. We don't have to re right. We and and for a lot of our projects we've especially these kind of water or sewer projects we've had other alternative uses and put a park on it depending on I mean I don't know know what the full plans are but gives us the option to do those down the road. Okay cool. Anybody have any questions for staff before we open the public hearing? Seeing none we will open the public hearing. Do we have anybody signed up to speak for this case? Um no we do not.

Okay. Is anybody in the audience that wishes to speak and speak in favor or against? Seeing none, we will close the public hearing and bring it back to the board for discussion. U questions, motions. I will make a motion to recommend approval of re 2025-06 zoning map amendment for 6305 Duncan Cook Road from the Wake County Conditional Use Residential 30 zoning district to the residential agriculture zoning district as it is reasonable and in the best interest of the public for the reasons identified by staff. Second. Um, I'd like to point out you you kind of reversed those. I don't know if you did that intent. Is it or is this is that dyslexia? Um,

why don't you read it again, Michelle? Just I'm sorry to put you through that again, but we don't have the attorney, so go ahead and just read it again. That way, we're all on the same we're all good. I'll make a motion to recommend approval of REZ 2025-6, a zoning map amendment for 6305 Duncan Cookook Road from the Wake County Conditional Use Residential 30 Zoning District to the Residential Agriculture Conditional Zoning District as it is reasonable and in the best interest of the public for the reasons identified by staff. Still second. Still second. No one. Just a clarification on that. That's different than what's in the recommended motion because I was looking at the one in our Oh, okay. And I was reading off the screen. Yeah, I think that's why we Your motion's still good. You read the big rotten.

Yeah, your motion's still good. All right, we have a motion in a second. Uh, everybody knows what we're voting on. Any questions before we vote? All in favor? All opposed? Motion carries.
