November 22, 2010 Quarterly Public Hearina The Unified Development Ordinance was on the November 22, 2010 quarterly public hearing agenda. The abstract (and all attachments) for the November hearing are included in this packet as Attachment 8. The Minutes from the November hearing are included as Attachment 7. Nine of 10 speakers at the hearing we in favor of proceeding with Phase 1 of the UDO. E- mailed messages primarily from Chapel Hill residents requested more time to review the UDO (see Attachment 5). At the conclusion of the November hearing, the BOCC directed the Planning Board to recommend a revised UDO schedule which would allow for more review time but would complete this phase of the UDO process before May. The BOCC also directed staff to send letters to the municipalities. The Planning Board recommended a schedule which was approved by the BOCC at its December 14, 2010 meeting (see Attachment 1). Additional Planning Board Review of the Draft UD® and Planning Board Recommendation As part of the discussion pertaining to recommending a new review schedule to the BOCC, the Planning Board decided at its December 1, 2010 meeting to focus its additional review on two topics: conditional districts and stream buffers. The Planning Board discussed the conditional districts (Conditional Use and Conditional Zoning) contained in the draft UDO at its January 5, 2011 meeting. At the successful conclusion of the January 5 meeting, the Board decided to devote its January 19 special meeting to the topic of stream buffers as the vast majority of the Board seemed satisfied with the conditional districts discussion. The stream buffer provisions contained in the UDO were discussed extensively at the Planning Board's special meeting on January 19, 2011. Planning staff incorporated the Planning Board's recommendations and some additional staff- recommended revisions into a revision packet that was reviewed at the Planning Board's February 2, 2011 meeting. The Planning Board voted at its February 2 meeting to recommend approval of the adoption of the entire UDO with the revisions presented at the meeting. The revision packet is included as Attachment 2. Minutes for the January 5 and 19 and February 2 Planning Board meetings are included as Attachment 6. Planning staff concurs with the revisions recommended to date by the Planning Board. Additional Staff Recommended Revisions Subsequent to the February 2, 2011 Planning Board meeting, Planning staff discovered two additional clarifications to be incorporated into the adopted UDO. Attachment 3 contains these two revisions.
