Growth Management Svstem -Amendments to Zoning and Subdivision <br />Ordinances) <br />The Board was to consider closing the Public Hearing and making a decision on the <br />proposed Growth Management Amendments to the County's Zoning and Subdivision <br />Ordinances, a proposal which would require major subdivisions of property to follow either the <br />current process, a Planned Development process, or a Class A Special Use Permit process <br />depending upon location, (which is a product of transition areas and water and sewer <br />availability) and number of lots. <br />Recommendations: <br />Planning Board -The Planning Board, by majority vote (8-1, See Draft Minutes, Attachment 8) <br />on September 3, 2003, recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) <br />approve the proposed Growth Management System amendments with the following <br />specifications: <br />a. The use of the attached map (Option 1 presented at the August 25th Joint Public <br />Hearing) for designating Urban and Rural areas; and <br />b. In the Rural Designation area, a Planned Development zoning amendment requirement <br />for all subdivisions containing 20 or more lots (versus greater than 40 lots as proposed <br />by the Administration). <br />Administration -The Administration recommends the BOCC approve the proposed Growth <br />Management System amendments with the following specifications: <br />a. The use of the attached Growth Management System Map (Option 1 presented at <br />the August 25th Joint Public Hearing) for designation "Urban and Rural Designated" <br />areas; and <br />b. In the Rural Designation area, a Planned Development zoning amendment <br />requirement for all subdivisions containing greater than 40 lots. <br />The legal advertisement (Attachment 9) for the August 25, 2003 Joint Public Hearing does not <br />support, from a legal notification standpoint, the Planning Board's recommendation stated <br />above in Planning Board, Part "b". <br />Therefore, should the BOCC choose to consider the Growth Management System, including <br />the Planning Board's recommendation, it is suggested that the BOCC approve and adopt the <br />amendments as noted in "Administration" above and then direct Staff to proceed towards the <br />new lot number threshold (41 lots to 21 lots) through a new legal ad process and a November <br />2003 Public Hearing. <br />DEFERRED <br />d. APPOINTMENTS <br />(1) Human Relations Commission <br />The Board was to consider an appointment to the Human Relations Commission <br />(HRC) to Position #10, resident within Chapel Hill City Limits, for a term to expire June 30, <br />2004. <br />DEFERRED <br />
