Another concern identified at the Commissioners'December 21 meeting involved the lack of a cost-benefit analysis. A separate memorandum will be provided before the January lo meeting which addresses that concern. UPDAI ED SECTIONS - DESIGN MANUAL Includ with this memorandum are revised sections of the Design Manual which address the above mention 1t ion concerns. Section 2.3, Land Use Intensity, has also been revised to correct some "addition" errors d a new Table of Contents provided to reflect updated pap numbers.

Simply discard them as you insert the new sections and retain the light brown divider. Table o Permitted Uses The T e of Permitted Uses in Section 2.2 has been provided in a different format. It combines all districts one table so comparisons of permitted uses in one district versus another are possible.It also requires fewer pages. Old N. Highway 86 Setback Standards lihnit, PrOD001. The setback standards referred to in #3 above were suggested by Commissioner Willhoit a means of preserving the entranceway character of Old N.C. Highway 86. In applying the start to properties in the I-40/01d N.C. 86 district, 11 properties are rendered unusable because of the 100- t setback requirement alone or in combination with floodplain restrictions and MTC buffer However, five lots are remnants from the 1-40 construction and would be unbuddable anyway ess combined with adjoining lots. The lots i question are located in two areas,along the west side of Old N.C.86 between Cates Creek and the irate , and on the south side of the interchange on either side of Old N.C. 86. In dealing with such lots several options are available. C .The current proposal requires that an additional 20 feet on either side be dedicated for the dening of Old N.C.86.In addition,a 25-foot front yard setback is required from the new right-of- way line r buildings,while parking and storage areas must be set back 10 feet from the new right-of-way. ITIhough required, applicants are strongly encouraged to locate parking and stomp areas to the si a or rear of buildings for aesthetic as well as transit access reasons. In either cam, the 10-foot setback ea must be landscaped in such a manner to screen vehicles or storage areas from view. The t proposal stems in part from the setback requirements applicable in zoning districts associated with the inmercial.Industrud Activity Node land use category.Specifically,the front,rear,and aide yard setback uirements for Economic Development Districts are those of the Office&Institutional zoning district, they are approximately mid-range in comparison to other districts (see chart on following page). As was case with the Willhoit proposal described above,some lots are rendered unusable through the MTC req * meats as well as the construction of 1-40 (remnant parcels). Six lots on the south side of the in would be unbuildable because of size and/or the 100-foot buffer requirement adjacent to the 1'�right of-way. Alte es.Since both the Willhoit proposal as well as the current one result in a number of lots which would be Zbuildable, one solution is to utilize the Willhoit setback proposal and allow the Board of
