3 use of land and/or the preservation of natural resources, and/or development standards are being considered with which to implement such plans... ". Concurrent with the adoption of provisions permitting the establishment of interim development standards, Orange County adopted standards which applied in the University Lake Watershed portion of the Joint Planning Area (copy attached). The interim development standards and provisions applicable to the University Lake Watershed are based on an Appendix to the Joint Planning Agreement, adopted November 2, 1987 (copy attached). RECOMMENDATION: Given that there is a precedent for a temporary moratorium, the Board of Commissioners has the following options: • The Board may choose not to object to the proposed temporary moratorium, in which case no further action is necessary. If the Board does not object to the proposed amendment, there is still a need to resolve the "temporary moratoria" policy issue instead of dealing with similar requests on a case-by-case basis. This could be accomplished through an amendment to the Joint Planning Agreement presented at the April 1996 Joint Planning Area Public Hearing. • The Board of Commissioners may choose to object to the proposed temporary moratorium on the basis that the proposed amendment to the Carrboro Land Use Ordinance is inconsistent with the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan. In that case, the Carrboro Board of Aldermen will be notified of such objection on February 6, 1996, the public hearing date. The proposed amendment to the Joint Planning Agreement could then be scheduled for the April 1996 Joint Planning Area Public Hearing. If the three jurisdictions approve the temporary moratoria provisions, then the Carrboro provisions would become effective.
