8 Attachment 1 contains additional information and analysis regarding this amendment. The staff recommended proposed text amendment language can be found in Attachment 4 within a "track changes" format. Planning Director's Recommendation: The Planning Director recommends approval of the Statement of Consistency, indicating the amendments are reasonable and in the public interest, contained in Attachment 2 and in the proposed amendment package contained in Attachment 4. Planning Board Recommendation: Prior to the public hearing, the Planning Board twice considered the proposed amendments. At its August 3, 2016 meeting, the Board voted 7-1 to recommend approval of the Statement of Consistency and the amendment package. The Planning Board conducted a second review on September 7 to consider edits made by the County Attorney's office after the August 3 Planning Board meeting. At the September 7 meeting, the Board voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the proposed amendments. Subsequent to the September 12 public hearing, the Planning Board considered the amendments at a special meeting on October 17 (the October 5 regular meeting had to be canceled due to quorum issues). At the October 17 meeting, the Board voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the proposed amendments. John Roberts said this is a continuation of the public hearing, and there are five options for the Board's consideration. He said he and staff are recommending for the Board of County Commissioners to go with Option 4, which states Adopt the amendments regarding residential use restrictions only and instruct staff to incorporate the proposed new EDD uses into other current text amendments. The proposed amendments may be adopted restricting certain residential uses within the EDD. The Board would not adopt the proposed new EDD uses but instructed staff to incorporate those uses into the reorganization of the Table of Permitted Uses that the BOCC will consider in 2017 (UDO/Zoning matter 2016-05 "Amendments to permitted use tables clarifying permitted and prohibited land uses"). Commissioner McKee asked if the adoption of this recommendation would prevent moving forward with other aspects of the planning process. John Roberts said part of this recommendation is that the staff will proceed with the uses for consideration in the amendments to the table of permitted uses that is coming in 2017. Commissioner Dorosin clarified that there was some concern about proceeding with the Hillsborough EDD, and creating inconsistencies with the other EDDs. He said it will take more time to do a comprehensive review the table of permitted uses in the other EDDs. He asked if it is recommended to do those amendments all at one time. John Roberts said making all the amendments at once would avoid potential liability and risk. Commissioner Jacobs said he had some questions at the last public hearing, and asked if these had been answered. Craig Benedict, Planning Director, said staff has made a matrix of all of the Board's questions, and will be answering them as related to the NICS code. Chair Dorosin said the draft matrix was reviewed at agenda review, and it will be placed on an upcoming work session. He said there were many overlapping questions between Commissioners. Chair Dorosin asked if there was any public comment, and there was none.
