_i -'4- i►� r Zoning Atlas amendments will require notification of individual property owners. The notice must be mailed on or before May 8, 1992. A public hearing on a proposed system of school impact fees is required, because Orange County's enabling legislation was incorporated into the N.C. General Statutes as part of Article 18 of Chapter 153A. An ordinance establishing such impact fees must be adopted, and the ordinance must be advertised for public hearing in the same manner as the other planning items. The Planning Board considered the proposed ordinance text amendments at its April 20, 1992 meeting and recommended that they be presented at the May 26, 1992 public hearing for citizen comment. The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment does not comply with the provisions of Article 2.2.14 of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposal is considered a principal amendment, since it involves an addition to an existing Plan area of more than 100 acres. Principal amendments are to be considered once a year at the quarterly public hearing-in February. Because of time constraints associated with assembling multiple properties to form a unified project, the applicant is requesting that a special public hearing be set in conjunction with the May 26, 1992 meeting. While such requests are not common, they are not without precedent. Similar provisions exist for Zoning Ordinance text and Atlas amendments, including planned development applications and Special Use Permits. In 1990 and 1991, special rezoning hearings were conducted citizen's request. In 1989, a Special Use Permit application and Zoning ordinance text amendment were considered at special hearings. RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the Notice of Public Hearing for May 26, 1992. The Administration also recommends that application CP -1 -92 be included for consideration on the May 26, 1992 public hearing agenda.
