Chair Jacobs said that the remaining items would be deferred to the next public hearing. <br /> He asked Craig Benedict to walk the Board through page 4 of the agenda abstract. <br /> Craig Benedict said that the staff received the application for Planned Development and <br /> Class A Special Use Permit. Part of the package was the Zoning Officer's assessment of the <br /> report. As part of that report, the staff also submits for evidence the County's existing zoning <br /> code or land use element and EDD Manual. The staff conducted at least part of the public <br /> hearing on the applications tonight. Item 4 is when the Board intends to adjourn this meeting to <br /> a time certain to hear additional public comment. The process timelines are on the bottom of <br /> page 4. The staff suggests that on March 5th some additional questions can come forward in <br /> writing so that the developer can answer those questions or staff can research in the short-term. <br /> Depending on when the Commissioners would like to decide on this item, there is a timeline that <br /> sets up when the various meetings can occur. It is recommended that this meeting be <br /> adjourned to a time certain where the Planning Board would have to come back and meet jointly <br /> with the County Commissioners at a regular meeting of the Board of County Commissioners. At <br /> that time, staff would be able to provide any additional information that they have uncovered. <br /> Also, it's very important to understand that the special use permit part of this — all of the <br /> evidence and all of the information that comes forward needs to be held very closely so that the <br /> information can be spread equally to all parties concerned (elected bodies, appointed bodies, <br /> developer, and the public). <br /> Chair Jacobs suggested trying to put this item back on the agenda on April 1st. The <br /> Board agreed. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to <br /> adjourn this meeting (1 1:08 p.m.) to April 1st at 7:30 p.m. at the F. Gordon Battle Courtroom in <br /> Hillsborough, North Carolina. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> The meeting was adjourned at this point, so the below items will be on the re-convened meeting <br /> on April 1st <br /> 2. Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments: <br /> a. Telecommunications Towers: Amendments to promote consistency with <br /> December 1 , 2007 revisions to NC General Statutes concerning Wireless <br /> Telecommunications Facilities. <br /> b. Planned Development: Amendments to address inconsistencies between <br /> existing ordinance requirements and NC General Statutes, specifically the <br /> requirement that imposed conditions be mutually agreed upon by the <br /> County and petitioner. <br /> Barry Jacobs, Chair <br /> Donna S. Baker, CMC <br /> Clerk to the Board <br />
