3 would be able to incorporate the ideas that have been generated during this 2016 process into the 2017 work, essentially completing part of the discussions that are to occur. The proposed UDO amendments in Attachment 4 contain text amendments that have been previously presented/discussed but do not modify the Table of Permitted Uses at this time except to: 1. Remove single-family and two-family residential uses and "Temporary Use of a Residential Mobile Home" as permitted uses in the EDH-3 zoning district. 2. Add multi-family residential as a permitted use in the EDH-4 zoning district (subject to scope restrictions in Section 5.5.10). 3. Add Accessory Uses as permitted uses in all five EDH zoning districts (this corrects an apparent error). 4. Clarify in the header of the Table that the Hillsborough EDD utilizes NAICS Sector Numbers, 2012 version. Adoption of these amendments will allow an interlocal agreement with the Town of Hillsborough to proceed. The Agreement is in regards to provision of water and sewer services south of Interstate 40. The Planning Department and Economic Development Department have reviewed and discussed these amendments and find they further joint goals. 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. The Planning Board's signed Statement of Consistency was included in the November 1 BOCC meeting materials.
