Chair Pelissier said that the Planning Board will.deliberate and will see ifi they want to make any changes and if so, they will come to the Caunty Commissioners with revisions to the Board of Caunty Commissioners, but she was not asking that every question be addressed by the Planning Board or staff. The major then~es are the ones that need to be addressed Commissioner Vuhasz said that it is reasonable to ask the general questions. He thinks that it is important to understand that Conditional Zoning is different in some ways than Planneoi Developments, but not in a way that lessens the protection that is provided. He said that it is critical in approving any conditional zoning that the Board justify that. Part of the justification of the conditional zoning is that,it is compatible with the land use plan. Brian Crawford said that one ofi the things the Planning Board has done is that it has spent so much time on the comprehensive plan and it has always been the most important document. The Planning Board thought that the consolidation of the UDO was to help fulfill the purposes of the comprehensive plan. He said that there may be areas where there is not enough language about the comprehensive plan. He suggested having a statement that it is a goal of Orange Caunty that the camprehensive plan be fulfilled. He stressed the importance of following the camprehensive plan. He said that the Planning Board would not be able to answer every question. Larry Wright said that it would be good for the Planning Board to have a set of goals from~the Caunty Commissioners so that there can bean agenda rather than relying on staff to say what the County Commissioners want. Commissioner Foushee said that minimally what the Planning Board brings back in each of these areas of concern is a linkage between the UDO and the Comprehensive Plan. She said that an overarching fear is that people may be comfortable with what the current BOCC is going to do, but they may be uncomfortable with what a future Board composition might do. A motion was made by Commissioner Foushee, seconded by Chair Pelissier to send a formal response to the towns that will address the issues and concerns that were raised in the respective resolutions in a format of a QUA document that will also be posted on the County's website. VOTE: Uf11AN1MOUS Commissioner Gordon said that there are overriding issues that people have raised, and they are given in the concerns stated by both the towns' and by the public. She would like to see, in response to the overarching themes in the concerns raised at this hearing, a list ofi specific things that can be changed in the ordinance to address these concerns. The staff can help with this. Judith Wegner asked Commissioner Gordon to write these amendments because it seems thatthere are very specific things and it is not clearto her. She asked that these specifics be written up because she does not understand the Planning Board's role in this. Brian Crawford confirmed the request for Commissioner Gordan to provide her comments. Commissioner Gordan said that she has only stated her own view. In response to the request, she gill try to submit her comments byWednesday for the Planning Board meeting. A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Hemminger to:
