9 <br /> Commissioner Rich asked if there is a protocol for determining a fee. <br /> John Roberts said fees would only apply to the business owners, and he saw fees <br /> across the State ranging from $100 to $1,500. <br /> Commissioner Rich asked if there are other businesses that are subject to fees. <br /> John Roberts said massage licenses have a fee of$50-75. <br /> Chair McKee asked John Roberts to bring back to the Board a list of fees charged and <br /> collected in counties of like size to Orange County. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Rich, seconded by Commissioner Price to adopt <br /> the sexually oriented business provisions into the Orange County Code of Ordinances; to <br /> authorize the Chair to sign the attached Resolution of Adoption; and authorized the County <br /> Attorney to make any minor non-substantive changes or corrections that may be necessary <br /> prior to submission of the amendment to Municode. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 8. Reports <br /> a. North-South Corridor Study Update — Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) <br /> The Board received an update on the North-South Corridor Study and provided <br /> comment as appropriate. <br /> Max Bushnell, Orange County Planner and Mila Vega, Chapel Hill Transit Service <br /> Planner, reviewed the following information: <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The study corridor runs along Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (Historic <br /> Airport Road/NC Hwy 86), South Columbia Street (including the portion of Pittsboro Street <br /> along <br /> the one-way pairing in this corridor through the UNC campus), and US 15-501 South. This <br /> corridor, which is approximately 7.3 miles long, has its northern terminus at Eubanks Road and <br /> Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and its southern terminus at US 15-501 near the Southern <br /> Village mixed-use development. <br /> The North-South Corridor study, funded through a combination of federal (Federal Transit <br /> Administration [FTA]) and local funds, identifies and evaluates a series of transit investment <br /> alternatives for implementation within the study corridor. It is managed by Chapel Hill Transit <br /> and guided by a Policy Committee, Technical Committee, Transit Partners Committee and a <br /> substantial public involvement process. The Technical Committee includes a representative <br /> from Orange County Planning. <br /> The study expands on previous planning work to identify a locally-preferred transit investment <br /> alternative that facilitates safe, efficient and expanded levels of mobility within the increasingly <br /> busy study corridor, and to improve connectivity between the corridor and the Research <br /> Triangle region. Additional reasons for this study include improving connections with other local <br /> and regional transit routes (including the planned Durham-Orange Light Rail line), supporting <br /> future development within the corridor, and increasing transit mode share and ridership to the <br /> UNC campus/hospital. The Orange County Bus Rail Investment Plan (OCBRIP) has this <br /> project identified in its adopted 2012 plan, including some assumed local funding from the <br /> mobility tax. <br />
