/a - '?P PWie I submit for your consideration the following compromise proposal on Item 9c, which I believe adequately addresses most concerns expressed by citizens of the affected area, the study group, and the Carrboro Board of Aldermen. Barry Jacobs - -The Board of Orange County Commissioners continues to support the principles of Joint Planning, and consistent with those principles and agreements adopts the proposals to amend the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan and Map, and the Joint Planning Agreement, in order to incorporate the Facilitated Small Area Plan for Carrboro's Northern Study Area, subject to the following conditions: - -That until Transition Area I reaches the 75 percent build -out stipulated in the Joint Planning agreement, the Board of County Commissioners retains with the Carrboro Board of Aldermen the right to approve "floating" conditional use zoning districts on properties located entirely in Transition Area II; - -That said zoning consideration be conducted at a joint public hearing based on the land use plan herein adopted for Carrboro's Northern Study Area, with the respective elected boards making their decisions following customary consultation with their planning boards and the Northern Transition Area Advisory Committee, with agreement by both elected boards necessary for approval; - -That when Transition Area I achieves the agreed upon build -out, the county will relinquish all jurisdiction over zoning in Carrboro's Northern Study Area, and be limited to courtesy review; =That among the first items for consideration by the Northern transition Area Advisory Committee be a workable definition of 75 percent build -out for Transition Area I, taking into account deed restrictions that may render lots built out despite low relative density; - -That the proposed definition of 75 percent build -out be submitted for approval by the Carrboro Board of Aldermen and the Board of County Commissioners; - -That after adoption of the definition of 75 percent build -out by both elected boards, the county will accept at the appropriate time, upon adequate presentation by Carrboro, that the threshold has been reached, and conclude the necessity for recognizing Transition Area II; - -That also among the first matters for recommendation by the Northern Transition Area Advisory Committee to the Carrboro Board of Aldermen be a suitable limitation on the number of "floating" village mixed use districts and office /assembly districts in the Northern Study Area, consistent with the concerns of residents in the area and the Board of County Commissioners; - -That the Northern Transition Area Advisory Committee submit regular reports to the Board of County Commissioners; - -That the Northern Transition Area Advisory Committee be composed of three members appointed by the Board of County Commissioners and two by the Carrboro Board of Aldermen.
