She referred to the amendment package, in article 5 and said any <br /> amendments in red are just adding RB to a few sections. She said the standards are the same, <br /> and there has been no re-write of standards to make it pertain to the rural buffer. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked how the Planning Board consideration interfaces with the <br /> joint planning consideration. <br /> Perdita Holtz said, within the rural buffer, the planning board will make a <br /> recommendation on the JPA amendments as well. She said the planning board will be briefed <br /> on this in April, and information will be shared from the public hearing, planned for March 27tH <br /> She said the UDO revisions being considered tonight will be on the April planning board agenda <br /> for them to make a recommendation as well. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said the recommendation will be made with just the hearing <br /> comments, but not with the comments from the jurisdictions. <br /> Perdita Holtz said the UDO amendments are not what are being heard at the March 27th <br /> joint public hearing; this is to hear amendments to the joint planning land use plan and <br /> agreement, and there are very few amendments that need to occur. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked for a memo listing those amendments. <br /> Perdita Holtz said this can be done. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked when the input on the UDO from the Chapel Hill and <br /> Carrboro public officials will come. <br /> Perdita Holtz said public officials don't comment on UDO amendments unless staff <br /> wants to bring something to their attention. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked when these comments are due. <br /> Perdita Holtz said these were due by tonight, but these will still be accepted while the <br /> public hearing process is going on. She said written comments can be submitted as part of the <br /> JPA process. <br /> Chair Jacobs asked if there are any items in this proposal that have the same issues that <br /> the attorney and staff had in the previous proposal. <br /> Perdita Holtz said this is not due to come back until September, so this is not an issue. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier to: <br /> 1.
