Staff is also suggesting that previous changes to the Upper Eno Critical Area be formalized. In 2005, staff redrew the original 1994 critical area boundary to be consistent with the text of the Zoning Ordinance. The revised boundary was placed on the Land Use Element map and the Zoning Atlas. Recent developments in other jurisdictions in the State have led staff to conclude that even though the boundary was drawn to reflect the pertinent text in the Zoning Ordinance, the map changes should go through the formal procedure to amend the Land Use Element Map and the Zoning Atlas. Attachment 5 depicts both the original 1994 Critical Area line and the revised 2005 Critical Area along with the various 1/4-mile buffers of the stream segments and impoundments. Staff is planning to place the Upper Eno Critical Area revisions on the February 2010 Quarterly Public Hearing agenda. The revisions will be to both the Land Use Element Map and the Zoning Atlas. Staff is currently evaluating whether revisions to the text of the Land Use Element and/or Zoning Ordinance will also be necessary. Property owners will be notified of the proposed map changes as required by Article 20 of the Zoning Ordinance. Additionally, staff will hold a public information session on the proposal the week before the public hearing to inform property owners regarding the effect of the proposed changes for their individual property. The public information session notice would be mailed along with the required public hearing notice to minimize postage and other resource costs.
