Approved 2/2/11 426 and one you don't. Let me go through Planned Development and Conditional Use Districts and page 22. This is in the existing 427 zoning code and I think there has been anxiety about this being something completely new. 428 429 Samantha Cabe: One thing that make is seem new is that looking at the Table of Permitted Uses, you don't see a planned 430 development but there is the new Conditional Use zones. 431 432 Shannon Bevy: The last three columns are CZDs not Conditional Use Districts, they are~Conditional Zoning Districts. 433 434 Samantha Cabe: How does in a Conditional Use District, someone would apply for that like they would apply now for a planned 435 development? 436 437 Craig Benedict: Correct. 438 439 Samantha Cabe: Regardless of what their current property is zoned, it could be anything on that list? It is really not different at 440 all. 441 442 Craig Benedict: It is not different at all. You can ask for PDs throughout the county. It is a legislative process that the 443 Commissioners can say it makes sense or not. We have been doing planning studies like the Efland Buckhom Mebane, the Eno 444 Economic Development District, in the Orange County Speedway area that says these areas may be more appropriate for more 445 intense growth and might be more opportunity for this creative flexible development. 446 447 Lany Wright: I understand the Permitted Uses as they are on the table but I don't understand what is on page 5-4, Exclusions. 448 449 Shannon Beny: If you would disregard the last three columns on the table when you talk about exclusions. The exclusions are 450 what you cannot ask for as far as Conditional Use District. 451 452 Samantha Cabe: If I own a big tract of land zoned Rural Residential and I wanted to do a Southem Ullage, I would go through 453 the Conditional Use process and I could not ask for any of these things to include in my project? 454 455 Shannon Berry: Yes. If you want a Conditional Use District but on the scale of Southem Ullage, you would probably go for the 456 MPD-CZ zoning district and rezone to that with the master plan concept because you would be phasing it. 457 458 Samantha Cabe: I would do a mini Southem Village. That is why the master plan wasn't used very often because it was either 459 rezoned or not. 460 461 Craig Benedict: If you have a specific project, you know what you are doing, you will be doing a CU. You are coming in with a 462 specific use or dance studio or karate studio. You can come in and ask for it and set your own standards, get it approved and a 463 site plan comes with it. 464 465 Samantha Cabe: That would be like a strip mall. 466 467 Shannon Berry: As far as the exclusions, on the list, they seem to be more intensive uses. The idea being that while you want to 468 have flexibility, these more intensive uses, you probably don't want someone to come in areas because they are very specific. 469 This give a little more leeway and approval work. 470 471 Larry Wright: In terms of the next person who comes through there, we might want to think about putting something with the 472 exclusions listed. 473 474 Shannon Berry: The footnote. 475 476 Lany Wright: It is ambiguous forme. 477 478 Shannon Berry: Excluded for a CU district. One difficulty is that the words are so similar. In the footnotes, it states CU district 479 but these are excluded from that old Planned Development stuff but not the new conditional use zoning. Anyone applying for this 480 will not do it alone. 481 482 Larry Wright: If you think about these exclusions and somehow how to wrap it around and help the reader a little more. That 483. would be helpful 484 485 May Becker: What is the standard for the planned development? Can the County Commissioners say they don't think it is a 486 good idea? 12 8
