1 Commissioner Jacobs said to flag this for later review because if there is a loophole, 2 someone could try and exploit it. 3 Commissioner Jacobs made reference to Section 6.3 and asked if there was a standard 4 definition of "custodial care." Craig Benedict said that in the past it has been for disabled and/or 5 senior citizens under the care of a family member. 6 Commissioner Gordon made reference to 6.2.5 (C) and the use of "unmanned". She 7 suggested that this say "unstaffed" so as to use gender neutral language. 8 Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to 6.3.1 under the Applicability section. He read, 9 "standards established in this Section shall be applicable to those districts and uses subject to 10 the Land Use Intensity system." He said that he has not found anything in the ordinance that 11 says what districts and uses are subject to the Land Use Intensity System. 12 Shannon Berry said that it is scattered throughout the text. Certain districts clearly apply 13 and some residential districts have different land use intensity measures such as open space 14 and recreation requirements. 15 Commissioner Yuhasz said to refer to those specific articles where these apply to make 16 it clearer. Craig Benedict said that a specific section or a table could be used for that purpose. 17 Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to page 6-10 and (D) where it says, "Land Use 18 Intensity Measures may apply," and said that it would be helpful to say where one could find out 19 whether they apply or not. 20 Craig Benedict said that everyone but the Hillsborough EDD area has these impervious 21 surface ratios. When the EDDs are readdressed, there will be recommendations about this. 22 Hillsborough does not have the site volume ratios and Eno and Buckhorn do. It is not too much 23 to add, "Impervious surface applies to all and the site volume ratios apply to two." 24 25 Commissioner Jacobs said that he found on 5-4.44 that it refers to, "necessity of direct 26 custodial care because of age or poor health." He suggested putting this in the glossary. 27 28 Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to page 6-13 and the last paragraph on the 29 page, which talks about calculating the volume of new plant material. He asked at what stage of 30 maturity is the size of the tree calculated. Michael Harvey said that it is at maturity and 31 Commissioner Yuhasz said that it should say this. 32 Commissioner Gordon said that she is not ready to change this. She suggested flagging 33 this. 34 Commissioner Hemminger, Chair Foushee, and Commissioner Pelissier agreed to 35 adding "at maturity." 36 Craig Benedict said that he could still provide the impacts or differences. 37 38 Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to page 6-21 (2) (a) (i) and said that there is a 39 missing `c' in "landscape." 40 Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to page 6-39, Manufactured Homes, and asked if 41 this section means that new mobile homes would be allowed in the special flood hazard area. 42 Craig Benedict said that it is ok to put something in this area if it is at a proper elevation. 43 Commissioner Yuhasz said that he thought that no new construction was going to be allowed in 44 the floodplain. 45 Frank Clifton said that FEMA allows construction in the floodplain and not the flood way. 46 Commissioner Yuhasz said that he understands that FEMA allows it, but Orange County does 47 not. 48 Commissioner Gordon agreed with Commissioner Yuhasz and said that this is a change 49 because it used to read "replacement" but now it reads, "new or replacement." 50 Commissioner Yuhasz said that he does not want to eliminate all changes if they make 51 sense, but he wants to flag this (page 6-39 3-a). \
