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. Refer the matter to the Planning Board with a request that a recommendation be returned to <br />the Board of County Commissioners in time for the September 4, 2014 BOCC regular <br />meeting. <br />2.
