Michael Harvey said that this was submitted by Ben Lloyd to amend the Table of Permitted Uses to allow motor vehicle sales and rentals as a permitted use. This item was presented at the February Quarterly Public Hearing where the County Commissioners and the applicant suggested several amendments from the original petition that would limit this land use category from being developed only within certain commercial industrial and transition nodes. The Planning Board reviewed this item at its April 6th regular meeting and voted unanimously to recommend approval. Commissioner McKee said that there was a discrepancy in the documents on the number of vehicles that would be allowed. He thought that the number was 12 and the abstract says 11. Michael Harvey said that the original application was for no more than 12, but it was reduced to 11 by the Planning Board. Commissioner Gordon asked about the concern of the staff. Michael Harvey said that the concern was that this is a countywide change. The use would be allowed in specific land use element categories, which are the urban areas as designated on the growth management system along US 70. There was no public comment. A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Yuhasz to close the public hearing. VOTE: UNANIMOUS A motion was made by Commissioner McKee , seconded by Commissioner Yuhasz to receive the Planning Board recommendation and approve the ordinance amendment for the Table of Permitted Uses to allow the Motor Vehicle Sales & Rental (New and Used) use category within the Neighborhood Commercial (NC-2) general use zoning district as a permitted use, with the change back to 12 vehicles for the limit. VOTE: Ayes, 6; No, 1 (Commissioner Gordon) b. Review and Adoption of the Master Telecommunication Plan (MTP) Map The Board considered adopting the Master Telecommunication Plan Map and a resolution establishing a policy with respect to the development of telecommunication wireless support structures on County property. Craig Benedict showed a map on the screen with the 11 different sites. He said that the sites include county-owned properties, fire department, quasi-public properties, and private citizen properties. He said that when they opened up Orange County for sites, there were a variety of offers and the list was narrowed down. He said that each year they will be adding additional sites to the map at the public hearings. He said that the Board of County Commissioners asked in February for staff to come up with a set of standards and that is in Attachment 3. There was no public comment. Commissioner Jacobs asked to include a notice to the Board of County Commissioners of the schedule of ineetings when there are public meetings that they can attend. He made reference to page 6 and said to include presence of historical, cultural, or archaeological resources in site investigations. He said that this is not included in the document and it should be included. He also asked to add signs to a site that this site is undergoing review for a telecommunications site.
