A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner <br />Jacobs (if the County Attorney finds if consistent with his recommendation) to make the <br />effective date August 15tH <br />Geof Gledhill does not find that date consistent with his recommendation. <br />The motion failed. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner <br />Halkiotis to make the effective date at which all of the jurisdictions and parties have approved it. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />d. Legal Advertisement for August 25, 2003 Quarterly Public Hearing <br />The Board considered authorization to submit the Quarterly Public Hearing Legal <br />Advertisement for publication for the August 25, 2003 quarterly public hearing. <br />Craig Benedict explained the two primary issues in the abstract - a special use <br />process and creating overlay districts and the Buckhorn EDD. On August 19tH, prior to the <br />regularly scheduled meeting, there is consideration of a work session to discuss the issues on <br />the agenda. <br />Commissioner Jacobs asked about the first item and the derivation of the notion <br />that the Planning Board would approve subdivisions without the County Commissioners' <br />approval. Craig Benedict said that this is an incentive that the Planning Board could approve up <br />to 6-12 lots. This is a discussion point. <br />Commissioner Jacobs asked if the intent was that we are encouraging smaller <br />subdivisions, which seems to be the antithesis of what a planner would want. Craig Benedict <br />said smaller subdivisions are better in rural areas and then larger subdivisions in urban growth <br />areas. <br />Chair Brown asked if anything on this for the public hearing could be eliminated <br />and Geof Gledhill said that it is possible that the notice will be out there and then things could <br />be deleted on the 19tH <br />Commissioner Gordon agreed with Commissioner Jacobs about the 6-12 lots <br />approval by the Planning Board. She said that if the Board is not interested in this, it should not <br />be advertised. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said that if it can be deleted, he is open to talking about it. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Chair Brown to <br />change the public hearing notice to say, "6-12 lots approved by the Planning Board and/or the <br />Commissioners" and under major subdivisions, "6-20 lots approved by the Planning Board <br />and/or the Commissioners." <br />VOTE: Ayes, 2 (Chair Brown and Commissioner Gordon); Nays, 3 (Commissioner Halkiotis, <br />Commissioner Jacobs, and Commissioner Carey) <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner <br />Carey to approve the public hearing legal advertisement for item 1 -Orange County Zoning <br />and Subdivision Ordinance Text Amendments - as written. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon added to number 2, to change the <br />I-85 Buckhorn Area EDD from primary development area to secondary development area in a <br />specific portion south of I-85/I-40. <br />There was no second, so the motion failed. <br />A motion was made by Chair Brown, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to <br />approve item 2 -Amend the text of Article 6.29.3 of the Zoning Ordinance (Economic <br />Development Districts Design Manual) to make the changes as specified in the agenda abstract <br />
