It seems to be a consensus that t~4e <br />Committee incJ.ude 1 -- 2 County Gommissioners, 2 Planning Baard members, and <br />perhaps 1 Board of Adjustment member. The subject was discussed at the <br />.7anuary Planning Baard meeting and Dr. Bob Boaar requested volunteers. <br />The Planning Board could perhaps nominate for appointment their two members <br />by next meeting. <br />PRESENT ZONING ORDINANCE EXTENSION__ALONG N. C. 54 IN GINGHAM TOWNSHIP <br />Planning Staff has requested legal advice on certain matters about <br />the immediate extension. Our primary concern is how this temporary zoning <br />effort will relate to our land use plan, especially when it probably be- <br />comes necessary to zone the entire township in about one year. Another <br />major problem is the American Stone Rock quarry and its existance relative <br />to our extractive, use sections of the current zoning ordinance. Some of <br />the other problems are: <br />• 1. What are the legal problems with currently zoning everything along <br />N. C. 54 residential and after the land use plan has been adopted, <br />go back and zone it according to the land use plan? <br />2. If the Quarry is caned Residential and becomes a non--conforming <br />use does this mean, under section 12.2 of the zoning ordinance, the <br />extractive use would have to stop at the present location or could <br />it continue to its property line boundary? <br />3. Does the Quarry need to get an extractive use permit if it is <br />zoned residential and is this non-conforming? <br />G. If the Quarry i,s zoned Rural Industrial or Rural Processing, then <br />it wiJ1 need a special use permit. Will the Quarry need to comply <br />with section 8 or 9 of the Ordinance immediately after the <br />Commissioners pass the resolution to zone the area or can they <br />be given one or two years to come in compliance? <br />Nevertheless, as the tentative schedule indicates, staff feels this can <br />be accomplished easily by June, ox July, 1979. <br />4 <br />
