Commissioner Gordan did not understand why the whole area was being <br />considered for this. Craig Benedict said that they want some of the mixed use <br />development opportunities, and there are none in this EDD. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that the part that is near I-4011-$5 could remain <br />primary and then the part that is residential could be secondary. There are not very <br />many places in the County where you are allowed to have these uses. She would like to <br />think about it before eliminating the possibility. Craig Benedict said that they could look <br />at a step-down approach and came up with some more primary uses that would be <br />compatible with the secondary uses. <br />Commissioner Gordon does not want to cut this area in half and give upon it. <br />She would like to keep the I-4011-85 corridor a primary use. <br />Chair Jacobs referred to the permanent use chart and said that it seems that <br />the primary precludes mixed use. He said that no one could live and then walk to their <br />place of employment. He said that this is counter to what we are trying to achieve. He <br />thinks it needs more analysis. He agreed with Commissioner Gordon. <br />Commissioner Brown agreed with Commissioner Gordon. She does not <br />understand what the impetus is to change this. Craig Benedict said it came up three <br />years ago with a rezoning, and he, Paul Thames, and Dianne Reid have been working <br />on this to figure out what could be done in this area. He said that having one use in this <br />area was not beneficial. <br />Commissioner Brown asked why we would want this to be a condo or <br />apartment area. This is a huge switch from an economic development area. She recalls <br />that when this was approved, there was a notion that this had been set aside for long <br />term economic development. She said that when the Leture rezoning came up, there <br />became insecurity about why it was not being developed. She said that it was supposed <br />to be a set aside for long term economic development. She thinks there needs to be a <br />really good design. <br />Discussion ensued about the mixed use possibility in this area. <br />Commissioner Brown said that she has not bought into the idea that people <br />want to live where they work. She thinks that people want to take public transportation <br />to work. <br />Commissioner Carey said that he does buy into living and working in <br />proximity and he thinks we should consider mixed use options. An example of this is the <br />area around UNC-CH. He said that if density is placed here, then it can be prevented in <br />other areas that we want to preserve. He agrees with the step-down approach. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that there needs to be a lot of thinking about the <br />concept behind what we want in these economic development districts and how high- <br />density residential would fit in. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis said that there was a similar discussion when this <br />district was created. He remembers there being a split vote when the districts were <br />created. He would like to see the staff bring back as many options as possible. He is <br />not an advocate of the huge multi-family complexes. He has not had a 10-15 year vision <br />for this place because nothing has happened in this area for years. He is still upset <br />about the people that got left behind in the small mobile home park because they could <br />not connect to the sewer line that Hancor controlled that the County helped to finance. <br />There area some issues in this area with affordable housing and economic development. <br />He said that there needs to be a work session about this issue. <br />Chair Jacobs agreed with Commissioner Halkiotis. <br />This item was left open until the next quarterly public hearing. <br />
