Reclassification as Twenty-Year Transition would recognize the existence of water and sewer service as an indicator of transition to urban uses, and could potentially allow for rezoning to higher residential densities in the future. RECO)O1ENDATION: Applications for amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and/or Zoning Atlas by an individual or agency are treated in the same manner; e.g. , the public hearing is the time for the presentation of the Zoning Officer ' s analysis and recommendation concerning the requests. Such requests are also bound by the time limits contained in Article 20.7 of the Zoning Ordinance in terms of preparation of a Planning Board recommendation. Zoning Officer Recommendation The Zoning Officer has reviewed the application and all supporting documentation and has found that changed or changing conditions cited by the applicant would be addressed by the proposed amendment. Provided the Planning Board and County Commissioners find in the affirmative, the Zoning Officer recommends approval of the request. No decision on the application is made by either the Planning or Board or Board of Commissioners at the public hearing. Instead, the Planning Board has 60 days within which to prepare and submit a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners. Failure of the Planning Board to submit a recommendation within the required time shall be considered a favorable recommendation, without conditions. Administration Recommendation The Administration recommends that the Board of Commissioners adjourn the public hearing until 7:30 p.m. on August 17, 1993 at the OWASA Meeting Room in Carrboro, N.C. , to receive the Planning Board recommendation.
