If I want to build and office, what can I do? <br />Shannon Berry: It doesn't impact office, it is applied to residential uses. It is one of our multiple layers of standards. When we <br />reviewed-this, the definition actually was inconsistent with how it was applied and how it is stated throughout the rest of the text <br />so that is-just a clean up. We are not changing anything just a typo on the definitions. <br />Craig Benedict: It didn't make sense to have the recreation space ratio based on floor area. It should be based on the gross <br />land area. <br />Shannon Berry: The point is that this is in the definition section and the definition is incorrect. <br />Maxine Mitchell: The chart on page 59 talks about the different uses within the Office/Institutional. If someone currently has a <br />mobile home, would they be able to continue using that? <br />Craig Benedict: If we had an area that was zoned Office/Institutional and had a mobile home, you can continue to use that for <br />the life of the mobile home but after that is removed, then the use will convert to the future land use, Commercial Industrial Use. <br />Larry Wright: On page 57, how does this compare to state standards? <br />Craig Benedict: State standards do not get into specific zoning for Orange County, you can set your own standard. There is <br />some relationship to what the state allows impervious area but we are within those standards as recommended by the state. <br />Commissioner Jacobs requested that Shannon come up with what does Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough and Mebane do and <br />I wouldn't say there is any consistency across the board but it is clear that you want these areas with public water and sewer and <br />the intensity similar to what is being suggested. <br />
