~a ttachment 3 Following for BOCC consideration are Planning Staff comments regarding Planning Board comments of June 4t". Staff recommendations regarding each comment are in bold italic text: 1. The Proposed Permitted Use Table included in Appendix A should be further reviewed, streamlined, and simplified to make it more compatible with existing Orange County Ordinances. Staff Comment: Planning Staff also believes the Permitted Use Table included in Appendix A should be reformatted. The opening paragraph of the Appendix indicates that the table is to be taken into account when future implementation measures (i.e., zoning text changes) are written. Staff included the Table in the plan because the Task Force spent several meetings discussing the various uses included in the Table and where such uses should be permitted. This Table was provided by Staff of the Department that was previously responsible for this Small Area Plan. Planning Staff agrees that a future review of the Table should be undertaken during the implementation phase. Staff recommends that the BOCC direct staff to conduct additional work on the Permitted Use Table during the future implementation phase when regulations are proposed for amendment. 2. The proposed definition for the proposed new land use category of "Eno Mixed Use" (page 49) should be further reviewed to define appropriate proportions of uses. Staff Comment: The Note included at the end of the definition on page 49 indicates that a limit on residential uses should be determined during the implementation phase. (The intent of the Mixed Use area is to encourage the development of primarily non-residential uses within the overall district). Staff recommends that the BOCC direct staff to include proportions for uses during the future implementation phase when new definitions are brought forward for adoption consideration. 3. The plan should say that the requirements of the EDD Design manual apply to properties zoned Economic Development. Staff Comment: The Zoning Ordinance, of which the EDD Design Manual is included as Section 6.29.3, specifies that properties to be developed under the ED (Economic Development) zoning classification are subject to all requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Planning Staff believes that to single out this particular aspect of County regulatory ordinances is unnecessary since all County Ordinances apply to actions taken in the County. Staff recommends that the Planning Board comment be acknowledged but does not recommend text changes to the draft plan in regards to this comment since the EDD Manual is still valid. 4. An Implementation Focus Group comprised of interested Task Force members and additional property owners should be appointed.
