The 10 'roposed amendment creates a commercial/service use category called"Temporary Events'. 11 This amendment was requested by Paul Tripod!of Tripodrs Catering to allow the hosting of 12 wedding receptions on their property.

She said that this is a large change to a residential district and suggested thet 15 specifications be added to require that all parking be on site and that there be minimal off-site noise 16 impacts. She would like the site plan to be to some scale to indicate specifics. She feels that the sign 17 should be smaNer--maybe 6 square feet. 18 Chair Crowther feels that parking on site is irnportant. 19 Commissioner Brown expressed several concems which she feels could be added to the 20 amendment. She feels that off-sits noise impacts should be minimum. Planner Mary Wiffis indicated 21 that this could be a condition attached to the Special Use Permit. 22 Commissioner Broom made reference to farm events and feels that it is not clear to the public 23 that there are no limitations to events on farms and she would like to see this included. An example of 24 this would be horse shows. She asked about the cost to the applicant for a Special Use Permit and 25 Mary Willis said that it is about$200. Commissioner Brown asked about notification to neighbors and 26 Mary Van said that with any Special Use Permit there is a notification of any property owner within 500 27 feet. in answer to Commissioner Brown's question about the inclusion of auctions, Mary"His said that 28 it is a mMw of looking at the activity to make a determination if it is a bons}ide farm use which would be 29 exempted from the zoning regulations. Commissioner Brown said that she could not support this 30 amendrixmt unless it specifically exempted auctions which are very traditional admt es in the County. 31 Commissioner Gordon asked about the courtesy review by Chapel Hill or Carrboro and Mary 32 Willis said she received no comments back from either one. 33 Mary Willis clarified that if a fame auction is a commercial activity it would fail under the 34 "Temporary Events"regulation.
