Request by RDP Management Consulting LLC and Houses BPR LLC to rezone 119.163 acres located in the southern right-of-way of Mills Road and Eastern Ride of Wave of Wolf Pitt Road and being 1,300 feet plus or minus east of Ivy Road from RA, rural agricultural Pitt County's jurisdiction, to R9S residential single family. Since the property is located in Pitt County's jurisdiction, an annexation petition has been submitted and will be considered by city council at the same time as this rezoning request. Staff presentation by Mr. Kelly. So again, this property is located southeast from the city. Currently, this property is located in Pitt County's jurisdiction. So the applicant has also petitioned for voluntary annexation. This is an image of the property taken on Wolf Pitt Road to your left would be Ivy Road. For the traffic volume report, the increase of 2,263 trips were split between the two adjacent roadways. 70% being on Mills Road and 30% being on Ivy Road. For Mills Road, an increase of 1,585 additional trips per day would represent an increase of 36%. For average daily trips with the current capacity of Mills Road being 28%. For Ivy Road, an increase of 678 additional trips per day would represent an increase of 26%. And with the current capacity of Avey Road being 18%. This is a survey of the RDP management consulting property, just over 98 acres. And this is a survey for the house's BPR property, just over 21 acres. The subject property was not included in the watershed master plan study area. The property drains through the Indian Wales swamp. If stormwater rules apply, it would require 10-year detention and nitrogen reduction. The property is not located in special flood hazard area, and there may be jurisdictional wetlands, streams, and buffers on the property. Under the current zoning, the property could accommodate 100 to 110 single family lots. Under the proposed zoning of R9S or residential single family, the property could accommodate 340 to 350 single family lots. The future land use and character map recommends traditional neighborhood low to medium density south of Mills Road and east of Ivy Road. And in staff's opinion, the requested zoning is in compliance with the future land use and character map, therefore staff recommends approval.
