J .. <br />3 <br />June Haas, a resident of this area, indicated that the residents of this neighborhood have worked hard to <br />have the Economic Development District established and to have the proper zoning applied. They thought that <br />this change had already occurred. She requested that the Board of Commissioners adopt this change. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commission Brown, to refer this item to the <br />Planning Board to be returned to the Board of Commissioners no sooner than August 4, 1997. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />2) Allowing Existing Residential Uses <br />• ArtiGe 2.2 Permitted Uses <br />The item was presented by Emily Cameron in order to receive citizen <br />comment on a proposed amendment to allow existing residences as a permitted use in all Economic Development <br />Districts. According to the permitted use table in the Economic Development Districts (EDD) Design Manual, <br />residential uses are not permitted in the Primary Development Area, except for the Primary Overiay in the I-40/Old <br />86 EDD. The purpose of the Economic Development Districts is to provide locations for a wide range of non- <br />residential uses, including light industrial, distribution, office, service and retail. Residential use is allowed in <br />Secondary Development Areas and the Primary Overiay, which serve to buffer the EDDs from adjacent residential <br />districts. <br />COMMENTS AND/OR QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS: None. <br />COMMENTS AND/OR QUESTIONS FROM THE PLANNING BOARD: None. <br />COMMENTS AND/OR QUESTIONS FROM CITIZENS: None. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Brown, to refer this item to the <br />Planning Boarci to be returned to the Board of Commissioners no sooner than August 4, 1997. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />3) NC Highway 751 Connector <br />Article 2.1 Development Areas <br />Article 3.3. Circulation and Parking <br />This item was presented by Planner Mary Willis in order to receive citizen <br />comment on a proposed amendment to eliminate all references to an extension of NC 751 between U.S. 70 and I- <br />85 in the Economic Development District Design Manual. On March 18, 1997, the Board of Commissioners <br />adopted a Resolution requesting deletion of the NC 751 connector between US 70 and I-85 from the Durham- <br />Chapel Hill-Carrboro (DCHC) Urban Area Thoroughfare Plan. The connector is referenced in maps and text <br />pertaining to the 1-85/U.S. Hwy 70 Economic Development District (EDD). The proposed amendment eliminates <br />all references to the NC 751 connector in the EDD Design Manual. <br />COMMENTS AND/OR QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS: <br />Commission Gordon asked for clarification as to whether this also deletes reference to Eno Drive. Mary <br />indicated that it did because without the connector Eno Drive is not relevant. Deleting the reference is not a <br />statement about Eno Drive but rather addresses the fact that without the connector it is not relevant. <br />Commissioner Gordon felt that the Board of Commissioners might choose to make a more current <br />statement about Eno Drive sometime in the near future. <br />COMMENTS AND/OR QUESTIONS FROM THE PLANNING BOARD: None. <br />COMMENTS AND/OR QUESTIONS FROM CITIZENS: None. <br />A motion was made by Chair Carey, seconded by Commissioner Gordon, to refer this item to the Planning <br />Board to be returned to the Board of Commissioners no sooner than August 4, 1997. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />4) Water & Sewer Service (update) <br />• Article 2.4 Environmental Factors <br />The item was presented by Mary Willis in order to receive citizen comment on a proposed amendment to update <br />information related to water supply and sewage disposal in the I-40/Old NC 86 Economic Development District <br />
