M <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 />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.orangecountVnc.gov /7.6.16 %20ORC ° /`20Notes.pdf <br />• August 3, 2016 Planning Board Minutes: <br />http:// www. orangecountync. gov /8.3.16 Plan ning Board Minutes.pdf <br />• September 7, 2016 Planning Board Minutes: <br />http:// www. orangecountync. gov /090716 Plan ning Board Minutes.pdf <br />• September 12, 2016 Quarterly Public Hearing Agenda Materials: <br />httD: / /server3.co.oranae.nc.us- 8088 /weblink8 /0 /doc /42565 /Paael .aSDX <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 />
