Amend Section 2.2 (Permitted Uses) to include the I-40/NC-86 Economic Development <br /> District, to specify the residential,office, retail,industrial, and other uses are allowed,and <br /> to note that the feasibility of some permitted uses may be limited. <br /> c.

Amend Section 2.4 (Environmental Factors) to establish a threshold of 30,000 gallons per <br /> day for high water usage. In addition, four options for water supply and sewage disposal <br /> are to be considered, including the following: <br /> (1) Limit public water and sewer service to the north side of I-40, delaying extensions <br /> to the area south of I-40 until specified development thresholds are met. As an <br /> example, extensions to the area south of I-40 might be delayed until at least <br /> seventy-five (75%) of the gross land area on the north side of I-40 consists of any <br /> combination of the following: <br /> (a) Residential areas in Secondary Development Areas are developed or site <br /> specific development plans(site plans or preliminary subdivision plans) are <br /> approved for development at a density of at one unit per acre or less; <br /> (b) Streets, roads, and utility easements located outside of lot boundaries; <br /> and/or <br /> (c) Lots or tracts used and/or site specific development plans (site plans or <br /> preliminary subdivision plans) are approved for permitted commercial, <br /> industrial, institutional or governmental purposes. <br /> (2) Limit public water and sewer service to the north side of I-40 for a two-year <br /> period during which county-wide issues related to open space,rural character,and <br /> • farmland preservation are resolved. In two years, the issue of water and sewer <br /> south of I-40 would be reconsidered.In the interim, allow alternative wastewater <br /> disposal systems. <br /> (3) Allow development to extend public water and sewer within the entirety of the <br /> EDD, including the area south of I-40. <br /> (4) Recognize that, under certain circumstances, any property within the EDD, <br /> including the area on the south side of I-40, could be annexed by the Town of <br /> Hillsborough, particularly if a developer proposed to extend water and sewer <br /> mains to serve the project. In that case, the property owner could request <br /> voluntary annexation, and the Hillsborough Town Board could approve the <br /> annexation. <br /> e. Amend Section 3.1 (Architectural Design) and Section 3.4 (Service & Storage) to allow <br /> communication towers and antennas as an accessory use, subject to screening <br /> requirements and height limitations. <br />
