This is a zoning request from John Knox Porter, Jr., registered agent for Capital Development Partners, to zone the annexed parcels located at:

• 6305 Garrard Avenue Ext (PIN 10866 01001) from the M (Manufacturing) and PM (Planned Manufacturing) zoning districts in Chatham County to the M-CO (Manufacturing-County) and P-M-CO (Planned – Manufacturing – County) zoning districts in the City; and

• Buckhalter Road (PIN 10866 01022) from the M (Manufacturing) and P-M (Planned Manufacturing) zoning districts in Chatham County to the M-CO (Manufacturing – County) and P-M-CO (Planned Manufacturing- County) zoning districts in the City.

The property is currently vacant land and the owner plans to incorporate the approximately 19.3 acres into the Rockingham Farms Warehouse Development. Section 1.6 of the Zoning Ordinance states that property annexed into the City boundaries may by adoption retain and be incorporated into the City’s zoning map under the County’s zoning district applicable to the property at the time of annexation. This is accomplished by approving the zoning designation and adding the suffix “-CO” (for County) to the zoning district to show that the County’s zoning shall apply to the annexed property.

Recommend approval of the petition of John Knox Porter, Jr. to zone the annexed parcels located at 6305 Garrard Avenue Ext and Buckhalter Road (PINs 10866 01001 and 10866 01002) from the County's P-M (Planned Manufacturing) and M (Manufacturing) zoning districts to the P-M-CO (Planned Manufacturing–County) and M-CO (Manufacturing–County) zoning districts.
