z Points of Discussion 1. Retain the T -I - T -II distinction in the Carrboro Northern Transition Area which limits density in T -II to one unit per acre until development in T -I reaches 75 %, except that Village Mixed Use (VMU) and Office /Assembly (O /A) conditional use districts may be approved in T -II at densities greater than one unit per acre before the 75% development level in T -I is reached. 2. Change the definition of "developed" to include lots of any size that, by virtue of restrictive covenants or governmental regulations, cannot be further subdivided. 3. General, as well as conditional use rezonings in T -I and T -II require joint Town and County approval. Advantages • BOCC retains role in general rezonings • BOCC has role in VMU and O/A conditional use rezonings • Basic framework for Transition Area remains intact so general rezoning to higher density in T41 not possible until 75% development level reached in T -I • Creates mechanism to implement recommendations of Facilitated Small Area Plan • One of the prime areas for village -type developments is believed to be located in T -II • Retention of T-I - T -II does not appear to present a consistency problem with the SAP as long as the village rezonings are not subject to the T -II density limitations • No additional public hearings (joint or otherwise) required Disadvantages • Changing the definition of the "75% development" level in T -I has not received adequate public comment; its impact on the T -I - T -II concept are not known at this time (this item is not included in Resolution A, but is referenced in Resolution B, section II.d, as an item the Board may be willing to consider at an appropriate time in the future). RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends adoption of the attached Resolution A. The procedure by which that can be accomplished is as follows: (1) A commissioner who voted on the prevailing side must move to reconsider the commissioners' action of January 19, 1999. At that meeting, Commissioners Gordon, Halkiotis and Brown voted against the three -part resolution presented at that meeting. The motion failed by a three -two vote, Commissioners Gordon, Halkiotis, and Brown voting no; Commissioners Jacobs and Carey voting yes. (2) If the motion to reconsider passes, then the floor is open for a motion to adopt Resolution A. Resolution B is provided for use as the Board decides.
