ALTERNATIVE LEAVE AS IS): ISSUES PROS AND CONS The implications of not acting on any of the above would, in effect, leave the Rural Buffer as it is. The development standard would remain at 2.O acres per house, and none of the protection or open space techniques would be pursued. It should be noted that this alternative would, from all indications, continue the suburbanizing pattern currently seen in the Buffer that led to the Rural Character Study. .: ib. t ire +e,:::?►::+:: gc�t�+ct�C.;: .......a SUNKARY The Board of Commissioners are faced with a potentially difficult decision. A near consensus of board opinion recommends Alternative 2 ('the September 20 version of LUP- 4 -90). However, the Chapel Hill Town Council prefers a greatly scaled back set of amendments and a joint work group to resolve other policy issues. Conversely, the County Planning Board feels that adoption of the "Chapel Hill version" would remove the impetus for further discussion, potentially lead to an adopted strategy that will not include the most effective character - preserving elements, and destroy the chemistry= of the different ingredients that make up the recommendations. Each of the alternatives carry both benefits and risks, as outlined above.
