<br />AGENDA ITEM #8: EFLAND-MEBANE SMALL AREA PLAN TASK FORCE REPORT
<br />Perdita Holtz: This Small Area Plan was presented at the May 22, 2006 Public Hearing, There
<br />were no public comments, and the BOCC referred the Plan back to the Planning Board for' its
<br />review and comment before their approval. As shown in the abstract, Staff is asking For a
<br />Planning Board recommendation to the BOCC no later than June 20, so that it can be on their
<br />June 27 action agenda, As shown in the Executive Summary of the report, the next step is to
<br />form a subgroup to develop implementation action strategies, which would be presented no
<br />earlier than the November 2006 public hearing. There was a discussion about how soon
<br />implementation measures might come before the Commissioners, and November is the target
<br />date.:
<br />Sam Lasris: Does this suggest that the actual commercial area will be more westerly than is
<br />currently recognized, such as the current Post Office location?
<br />Perdita Holtz: The recommendation in the plan is that non-residential use be allowed along US
<br />70 with design guidelines to be developed, It is not a commercial district per se, but appropriate
<br />commercial and non-residential uses, It is also allowed in the EDD areas.
<br />Sam Lasris: So development will be along 70, and not branching outwards of 70?
<br />Perdita Holtz: Non-residential will be contained along US 70.
<br />Jeff Schmitt: How does this relate to the County's Economic Development plan?
<br />Perdita Holtz: The current EDD will stay the same, with a slight expansion.
