Craig Benedict: It was actually a land use designation that was added to the plan so that a <br /> zoning overlay could be put on our zoning map, so that, to this day, there is a zoning overlay <br /> with a prerequisite land use basin area. <br /> Chair Jacobs: It seems to me that this is obsolete. For one thing, Hillsborough was going to <br /> provide water and sewer to it and now it's going outside its service area. <br /> Craig Benedict: This covers everything from the Waterstone development all the way out <br /> towards the Eno EDD. We can suggest amending the land use map and zoning designations to <br /> remove archaic plans. <br /> Commissioner Gordon: There was a reason to do the study, but this is not a generalized <br /> category like Rural Residential or something like that. Also, I didn't even remember we had an <br /> extracted use. I'd like to see that on a map. Is that a land use category, extracted use? <br /> Tom Altieri: There are a few land use categories that are included in text that have never been <br /> put on a map. <br /> Chair Jacobs: So you've flagged Stoney Creek Basin? <br /> Tom Altieri: Yes. <br /> Commissioner Gordon: I really think that's not a generalized category. If we handle it, we <br /> should handle it some other way. <br /> And then on the next page, certainly Watershed Critical Area is a generalized term, and then <br /> there is the New Hope Creek Corridor Open Space. We definitely have that; it just doesn't <br /> seem to be a general category. How is that handled? <br /> Tom Altieri: This section should have been taken verbatim out of that 1981 Land Use Plan <br /> because those categories were essentially copied and pasted. The direction by the consultant <br /> was that we would not change those categories as part of this project. <br /> Commissioner Gordon: I certainly want to keep the designation. I will be very clear about <br /> that. I'm just not sure the way it should be handled is as a generalized category. <br /> Chair Jacobs: I agree. If you look at New Hope Creek Corridor Open Space, it says it was <br /> completed in 1991, so it wasn't part of the 1981 plan. So it might be a good place to put it. <br /> Dave Stancil: It was incorporated into the land use element in 1991. I think it may in fact be <br /> listed as a classification. <br /> Commissioner Gordon: It may be we had these kind of specific things, but, I'll reemphasize <br /> I'm not saying we should do away with it, I'm just trying to figure out a way to place it. <br /> Jay Bryan: It's a combination of a resource protection area and a public interest area. <br /> Commissioner Gordon: We don't have to resolve it now. <br /> Craig Benedict: Sometimes these small area plans that are done are somehow incorporated <br /> into the land use element text. Sometimes they're never brought to a map change. I think both <br /> Stoney Creek and New Hope Corridor had a small area plan study, it was incorporated through <br />
