ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: November 19, 2007 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No.j <br />SUBJECT: Economic Development Districts Orange County Zoning Ordinance Section 6.29 <br />DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspection PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />De artment <br />p <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />1) PowerPoint Craig Benedict, Planning Director, 245-2592 <br />Willie Best, Interim Economic Development <br />Director, 245-2308 <br />PURPOSE: To discuss possible amendments to the Economic Development District Manual <br />and add performance criteria for retail establishments and other uses, including an amended <br />review and approval process. In addition, a new threshold categorization classification of low- <br />intensity non-residential use is possible. <br />BACKGROUND: Economic Development District (EDD) land use designations were created <br />in 1994. Subsequently, Orange County amended the Zoning Ordinance Article 6.29 to <br />include `The Orange County Economic Development Districts Design Manual'. This <br />document sets forth the description and intent of three economic development zones; <br />^ I-85 Buckhorn Road, <br />^ I-40/Old NC 86 (now known as the Hillsborough Area EDD) and the <br />^ I-85/US Hwy 70 (now known as Eno Township EDD) <br />SMALL AREA PLAN AND INFRASTRUCTURE ACTIVITY <br />These areas are in varying degree of planning and infrastructure research, analysis and <br />Small Area Plan Implementation. <br />Portions of these areas have received or are in the process of receiving water and sewer <br />infrastructure and therefore additional planning is underway to ensure compatible uses and a <br />pattern of development that will support existing uses as well as future uses. Other planning <br />efforts regarding these areas are the Efland-Mebane Small Area Plan Implementation Focus <br />Group, Waterstone Area Planned Development and Eno EDD Task Force. <br />REEVALUATION OF PERMITTED USES, PROCESSES, AND STANDARDS <br />The manual and table employs different sets of approval processes, i.e. administrative, Class <br />A or B Special Use Permit (SUP) or Planned Development (PD) rezoning. Although, this is a <br />classic zoning mechanism that can be effective, other methods can be used to promote <br />compatibility. In fact, the two other EDD zones used other methods such as placing <br />compatible uses in a prescriptive large zone (either Primary or Secondary EDD) so the <br />potentially conflicting land uses of retail and light industrial or residential would not occur. <br />
