4 <br />members and staff can work together on the final form of the proposed amendments. Because <br />the process is expected to take several months, staff is recommending the public hearing be <br />continued again to a date /time certain (as is required by State statutes /case law). Because the <br />2015 meeting calendar has not yet been adopted, staff is recommending that the public hearing <br />be adjourned to the December 1, 2014 regular BOCC meeting at which time it is expected that <br />the public hearing will be re- adjourned to a meeting in March 2015. <br />The form in Attachment 1 contains additional information and analysis regarding these County <br />initiated amendments, which are consistent with the adopted Efland- Mebane Small Area Plan, <br />and has been updated to reflect the currently proposed process. <br />Because the proposed Comprehensive Plan /UDO amendments are lengthy and are not <br />expected to be directly discussed at the September 8 quarterly public hearing, they have not <br />been included as an attachment to this abstract. At this time, the amendment package has not <br />been changed (except to correct a cut - and -paste error) from the materials presented at the <br />February 24 hearing (link to materials above). <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: See Section C.3 of Attachment 1. <br />RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Director recommends the Board: <br />1. Open the public hearing that was adjourned at the February 24, 2014 quarterly public <br />hearing. <br />2. Accept any additional public, BOCC, and Planning Board comment on the proposed <br />amendments. <br />3. Adjourn the public hearing until December 1, 2014 at which time it is expected the public <br />hearing will be further adjourned until a March 2015 meeting date. <br />
