U32: Residential area that is appropriate for small scale industrial uses which do not require urban- type services. Comments were received from the Orange Rural Volunteer Fire Department and Orange County 911 stating that an I-1 Industrial zoning lot as described in the above can be served. Information from the Sheriff's Department is pending. Therefore, the proposed rezoning to I-1 Light Industrial would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. RECOMMENDATION: Article 20.3.3 of the Orange County Zoning Ordinance requires that the Zoning Officer's recommendation be presented to the Planning Board within 30 days of receipt of an application. The 30-day period may be extended up to 60 days with the written consent of the applicant. The public hearing is the time scheduled for presentation of the Zoning Officer's recommendation. Zoning Officer Recommendation The Zoning Officer has reviewed the application, the site plan, and all supporting documentation and has found that the proposed rezoning by the proposed amendment would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Provided the Planning Board and County Commissioners find in the affirmative, the Zoning Officer recommends approval of the request. No decision on the application is made by either the Planning Board or Board of Commissioners at the public hearing. Instead, the Planning Board has 60 days within which to prepare and submit a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners. Failure of the Planning Board to submit a recommendation within the required time shall be considered a favorable recommendation, without conditions. Administration Recommendation The Administration recommends that the proposed Zoning Atlas amendment be referred to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned no sooner than August 3, 1995.
