Zoning Atlas. Staff is currently evaluating whether revisions to the text of the Land Use Element and/or Zoning Ordinance will also be necessary. Property owners will be notified of the proposed map changes as required by Article 20 of the Zoning Ordinance. Additionally, staff will hold a public information session on the proposal the week before the public hearing to inform property owners regarding the effect of the proposed changes for their individual property. The public information session notice would be mailed along with the required public hearing notice to minimize postage and other resource costs. Planning Board Comments Staff presented the upcoming Planning Department work plan to the Planning Board at its October 7, 2009 regular meeting. The Planning Board commented that it would like to have early input into whether a future reservoir will be sited on Seven Mile Creek. Some Planning Board members expressed concern that not providing a future reservoir on Seven Mile Creek would negatively impact future water resources and potential growth. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Work required to achieve the amendments to the Water and Sewer Management, Planning, and Boundary Agreement and the revisions to the Upper Eno Critical Area boundary can be completed by existing staff. Required newspaper legal advertisements and mailed notification to property owners regarding changes to the Land Use Element Map and Zoning Atlas will be covered by the approved FY2009-10 Planning Department budget. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: 1) Authorize staff to begin the process of amending the Water and Sewer Management, Planning, and Boundary Agreement, as outlined above; and 2) Discuss proposed changes to the "Critical Area" of the Upper Eno watershed.
