Chair Jacobs said that the remaining items would be deferred to the next public hearing. <br />He asked Craig Benedict to walk the Board through page 4 of the agenda abstract. <br />Craig Benedict said that the staff received the application for Planned Development and <br />Class A Special Use Permit. Part of the package was the Zoning Officer's assessment of the <br />report. As part of that report, the staff also submits for evidence the County's existing zoning <br />code or land use element and EDD Manual. The staff conducted at least part of the public <br />hearing on the applications tonight. Item 4 is when the Board intends to adjourn this meeting to <br />a time certain to hear additional public comment. The process timelines are on the bottom of <br />page 4. The staff suggests that on March 5'" some additional questions can come forward in <br />writing so that the developer can answer those questions or staff can research in the short-term. <br />Depending on when the Commissioners would like to decide on this item, there is a timeline that <br />sets up when the various meetings can occur. It is recommended that this meeting be <br />adjourned to a time certain where the Planning Board would have to come back and meet jointly <br />with the County Commissioners at a regular meeting of the Board of County Commissioners. At <br />that time, staff would be able to provide any additional information that they have uncovered. <br />Also, it's very important to understand that the special use permit part of this -all of the <br />evidence and all of the information that comes forward needs to be held very closely so that the <br />information can be spread equally to all parties concerned (elected bodies, appointed bodies, <br />developer, and the public). <br />Chair Jacobs suggested trying to put this item back on the agenda on April 1St. The <br />Board agreed. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to <br />adjourn this meeting (11:08 p.m.) to April 1St at 7:30 p.m. at the F. Gordon Battle Courtroom in <br />Hillsborough, North Carolina. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />The meeting was adjourned at this point, so the below items will be on the re-convened meeting <br />on April 1St <br />2. Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments: <br />a. Telecommunications Towers: Amendments to promote consistency with <br />December 1, 2007 revisions to NC General Statutes concerning Wireless <br />Telecommunications Facilities. <br />b. Planned Development: Amendments to address inconsistencies between <br />existing ordinance requirements and NC General Statutes, specifically the <br />requirement that imposed conditions be mutually agreed upon by the <br />County and petitioner. <br />Barry Jacobs, Chair <br />Donna S. Baker, CMC <br />Clerk to the Board <br />
