2 <br />Since the May 4 Commissioners meeting, the public <br />hearing on the proposed amendment to Article <br />2.2.14.3 has been held. Revisions to the proposal <br />have been suggested, however, to allow the <br />Commissioners to set special hearings on principal <br />amendments, but only at another quarterly public <br />hearing; e.g., May, August, and November. A Board of <br />Commissioners decision on the amendment is projected <br />for August 3. <br />Because of the revisions, discussions have been held <br />with the University Station applicants to determine <br />if an August 24 public hearing on the Comprehensive <br />Plan amendment, coupled with a November 24 hearing <br />on the Planned Development application, would be <br />workable in terms of satisfying option commitments <br />[see Option E]. The applicants have indicated that <br />the option is workable, provided a Board of <br />Commissioners decision could be expected before <br />Christmas of 1992. <br />Because of the projected approval date [August 3] <br />for the amendment to Article 2.2.14.3, the scheduled <br />public hearing date [June 29] for the University <br />Station project must be changed. The attached <br />schedule lists various public hearing options for <br />consideration of the University Station project by <br />the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners. In <br />each case, consideration of the Planned Development <br />application would be contingent upon the Board of <br />Commissioners approving the Comprehensive Plan <br />amendment. Also, the N.C. General Statutes require <br />that each public hearing be advertised, for the <br />first time, not less than 10 nor more than 25 days <br />before the date of the hearing. <br />RECOM ONDATION: As the Board decides. <br />
