Planning Board Recommendation • Considered at August 3, 2016 meeting • Voted 7-1 to recommend approval Perdita Holtz, Planning Systems Coordinator, presented the following background and PowerPoint presentation for Item D-2 2. Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text Amendment -To review government- initiated amendments to the text of the UDO that would modify existing regulations that pertain to the Hillsborough Economic Development District. BACKGROUND: In order to better promote economic development opportunities in the Hillsborough Economic Development District (EDD), the Planning Director is suggesting UDO text amendments to modify some development standards, types of permitted uses, and use standards. Plans for County investment in water and sewer infrastructure to parcels south of Interstate 40 and in the vicinity of Old Highway 86 are underway and these UDO text amendments focus on this geographic area in conjunction with a related, separate proposed rezoning action. Attachment 1 contains additional information and analysis regarding this amendment. Proposed text amendment language can be found in Attachment 3 within a "track changes" format. Attachment 4 contains information summarizing some aspects of the proposed amendments. The map in Attachment 5 shows the extent of the Hillsborough EDD. Attachment 8 is the NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) code list; it is included because uses only in the Hillsborough EDD are regulated by NAICS sectors. Planning and Attorney's office staffs will continue to analyze the unique use of the NAICS system for permitted use consistency and changes necessary due to judicial decisions. Planning staff held a Public Information Meeting on July 26 to explain the proposed amendments affecting the Hillsborough EDD. Five interested persons attended the meeting. The Planning Department and Economic Development Departments have reviewed and discussed these amendments and find they further joint goals.
