Text pertaining to the 1-40/Old NC 86 District has not been amended since it <br />was originally adopted.

The proposed <br />amendment updates the status of these improvements. <br />COMMENTS AND/OR QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS: <br />Commissioner Gordon asked why the cost of extending the sewer main was included in this information. <br />Mary Willis indicated that they were included simply because they were included in the original document. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis asked if the 500,000 gallon elevated water storage tank mentioned in this <br />information was currently under construction. Mary Willis indicated that she did not believe so but that she would <br />find out for certain. <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 Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Carey, to refer this item to <br />the Planning Boarci to be retumed to the Board of Commissioners no sooner than August 4, 1997. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />5) Terms used for Permitted Uses <br />• Article 2.3 Land Use Intensity <br />• Article 2.4 Environmental Factors <br />• Article 3.2 Landscape Design <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 replace land use categories referenced in various text and tables in the <br />Design Manual to match those found in the Permitted Use Table. The Permitted Use Table in the ED Design <br />Manual categorizes permitted land uses according to the Standard Industrial Classification Manual (SIC) prepared <br />by the Federal Office of Budget and Management. Using the SIC allows staff to more cleariy determine the land <br />use category into which a specific proposed use would fall to determine whether or not that use is allowed. The <br />following SIC categories are used in the EDD Design Manual: Residential, Agricultural, Forestry and Fishing, <br />Construction, Manufacturing, Assembly and Processing, Transportation, Communication and Utilities, Finance, <br />Insurance and Real Estate, Services, Government. The Design Manual includes various tables and text which <br />specify the standards applicable to various land uses. However, the land uses listed in some of the tables do not <br />correspond with the land uses listed in the Permitted Use Table. It can be difficult to determine the category into <br />which a proposed use falls for the purpose of determining whether or not it is allowed in a specific EDD, and which <br />standards should be applied. <br />COMMENTS AND/OR QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS: <br />Commissioner Gordon asked that this information be presented to show a line by line comparison. She <br />suggested that the categories be aligned so that it was possible to cleariy understand the suggested changes. <br />Mary agreed to revise this information so that it was more Dearly comparable. <br />COMMENTS AND/OR QUESTIONS FROM THE PLANNING BOARD: None. <br />COMMENTS AND/OR QUESTIONS FROM CITIZENS: None. <br />A motion was made by Commission Carey, seconded by Commission Brown, to refer this item to the <br />Planning Board to be retumed to the Board of Commissioners no sooner than August 4, 1997. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />b) Setbacks for Parking <br />1) Article 10.3 Off-Street Parking <br />
