DRAFT 27 <br /> 55 Larry Wright: I raised the issue at the QPH because I wasn't clear where the county stood on the unresolved matter <br /> 56 and I wanted to seek clarification with Commissioners present and hear their comments. I think the Commissioners <br /> 57 were saying there isn't anything that prohibits drive-ins. If someone wants to build a drive-in, they can. So long ago <br /> 58 the issue was sent to the Economic Advisory Commission to consider the Carrboro example of restrictions on drive-in <br /> 59 and drive-throughs. Commissioners are aware the advisory board's discussions didn't go anywhere." <br /> 60 <br /> 61 Shannon Berry: We are proposing that a drive thru restaurant is not permitted by right but by conditional use. <br /> 62 <br /> 63 Buddy Hartley: No, I don't think we should go there. <br /> 64 <br /> 65 Michael Harvey: The Hillsborough Economic District has banned drive thrus. <br /> 66 <br /> 67 Craig Benedict: They can approve it in theirs but if they submit it through our process, it would be prohibited by our <br /> 68 zoning. If it is annexed by Hillsborough,they can throw what our joint discussion was and approve it. <br /> 69 <br /> 70 ' Lisa Stuckey: You are saying a drive thru would not be approved by the county;you have to have a conditional use. <br /> 71 <br /> 72 Michael Harvey: There is language in the Hillsborough EDD that specifically states drive thru facilities are not permitted. <br /> 73 In the Orange County Hillsborough EDD. <br /> 74 <br /> 75 Lisa Stuckey: Which is separate from the Town of Hillsborough. <br /> 76 <br /> 77 Perdita Holtz: Hillsborough is regulated differently. They are regulated by SIC codes but there is language in the Orange <br /> 78 County UDO development standards for the Hillsborough EDD that drive thrus are not permitted in the Hillsborough EDD <br /> 79 which is the purple area in the middle of the map. <br /> 80 <br /> 81 Pete Hallenbeck: This is perfectly reasonable. If we want to approve a restaurant that is a drive thru into the Buckhorn <br /> 82 area,'it is not permitted by right but you have to apply for it. <br /> 83 <br /> 84 MOTION made by Lisa Stuckey to accept staffs proposal and forward it to the BOCC. Buddy Hartley seconded. <br /> 85 VOTE: Unanimous <br /> 86 <br /> 87 <br /> 2 <br />
