Reqular Aqenda a. Joint Planninq Land Use Plan and Aqreement Amendments —Aqricultural Support Enterprises Within the Rural Buffer Land Use Classification The Board considered County-initiated amendments to the Joint Planning Land Use Plan and Agreement to allow for the possibility of locating appropriate Agricultural Support Enterprises within the Rural Buffer land use classification. Perdita Holtz said in June 2014 the BOCC approved a version of these amendments. She said the Towns of Carrboro and Chapel Hill approved slightly different versions. She said all three local governments must approve the same thing. She said pages twenty eight through 32 of attachment 3 of the agenda materials show yellow highlighting to note changes from the version approved by the BOCC in June 2014. She said the differences were fairly minor. The differences were as follows: 1) On three occasions the words "low intensity" have been added in front of"agricultural support uses". 2) Changing the words "zoning and subdivision ordinance" to "unified development ordinance" to reflect the current title of Orange County's Land Use regulations. 3) On page thirty two it is stated that a joint public hearing and the approval of all three local governments before the County could materially change its UDO in regards to the agricultural support enterprises within the rural buffer in regards to the regulations that pertain to those. Perdita Holtz said amendments to the joint planning documents must be approved before the County can consider adoption of the UDO amendments. She said the abstracts indicated that the Towns made recommendations on the UDO amendments as is within their right to do as joint planning partners. She said the Towns' recommendations have been incorporated into the UDO amendments that the BOCC is scheduled to consider on May 5tn 2015. She said the recommendation for tonight is for the BOCC to deliberate as necessary on this proposed amendment to the joint planning documents and to decide accordingly. She said if the BOCC decides to adopt the amendments then the resolution to adopt is in attachment 1. Commissioner Rich referred to page 32 seeking affirmation of her understanding that if anything changes in the UDO there must be a public hearing on the specific ordinance.
