<br />In the summer of 2016 staff was directed to complete a review of allowable land <br />uses within the Economic Development Hillsborough general use zoning districts <br />(i.e. EDH 1 through 5). <br />BOCC members wanted to expand/modify allowable uses within these districts to <br />ensure consistency with: <br />a. Other Economic Development general use zoning districts, and <br />b. To ensure allowable land uses coincided within the overall purpose <br />and intent of the district as currently defined within the UDO. <br />These activities, which were reviewed and commented on by both the Planning <br />Board and the BOCC, resulted in the following: <br />i. Expand allowable research and manufacturing/light industrial land uses <br />within the EDH-5 general use zoning district consistent with its existing <br />intent and purpose. <br />ii. Allow for retail land uses in the EDH-4 general use zoning district <br />consistent with its existing intent and purpose. <br />If this project is not approved, the applicant will have to wait for the final <br />modification(s) of the table of permitted land uses to be adopted by the BOCC to <br />propose manufacturing/research/light industrial development activities within the <br />EDH-5 general use zoning district as well as retail within the EDH-4 general use <br />zoning district. As a reminder these modification(s) are consistent with the <br />direction and suggestion of both the Planning Board and BOCC members. <br />Pertinent Links to materials associated with this topic include: <br />• July 6, 2016 Ordinance Review Committee Meeting Notes: <br />http://www.orangecountync.gov/7.6.16%20ORC%20Notes.pdf <br /> <br />• August 3, 2016 Planning Board Minutes: <br />http://www.orangecountync.gov/8.3.16PlanningBoardMinutes.pdf <br /> <br />• September 7, 2016 Planning Board Minutes: <br />http://www.orangecountync.gov/090716PlanningBoardMinutes.pdf <br /> <br />• September 12, 2016 Quarterly Public Hearing Agenda Materials: <br />http://server3.co.orange.nc.us:8088/weblink8/0/doc/42565/Page1.aspx <br /> <br />• September 12, 2016 Quarterly Public Hearing Minutes: <br />http://server3.co.orange.nc.us:8088/weblink8/0/doc/43289/Page1.aspx <br />It was ultimately decided to incorporate these efforts into the table of permitted <br />use project, which has been reviewed at several Ordinance Review Committee <br />(ORC) and Planning Board meetings, which can be accessed at: <br />60
