4 <br />3. Some Board members indicated support for the proposed amendment while indicating <br />that they did not believe there was anything from an aesthetic point of view to preserve <br />within the Old NC Highway 86 corridor given recent construction activities within the area. <br />4. There was general concern over the potential impact any reduction in required <br />landscaping might have on stormwater runoff within the area. <br />The Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the amendment as <br />presented by staff. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: This request has been reviewed by various County departments who <br />have determined the approval of the request will not create the need for additional funding for <br />the provision of County services. <br />ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends the BOCC take <br />the following actions: <br />1. Receive the Planning Board recommendation, <br />2. Deliberate further on the proposed amendment, <br />3. Close the public hearing, and <br />4. Approve the proposed zoning ordinance amendment allowing for a reduction of required <br />landscaping and buffer yards within the Hillsborough Economic Development District in <br />instances where an applicant proposes the adaptive reuse of an existing single-family <br />residential structure as a professional office space. <br />
