5 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3. FISCAL IMPACT <br />Coordination and attendance at the information meeting by staff shall be handled <br />within existing budgetary outlays. The cost associated with the notification of the <br />information meeting shall be borne by the applicant. <br /> <br />Additional budgetary outlays to cover the costs of a mailing will be required by any <br />County department or applicable agency (i.e. volunteer fire department) proposing a <br />governmental land use. <br /> <br /> <br />D. AMENDMENT IMPLICATIONS <br /> <br /> <br />If approved, the development of a governmental use will require that a neighborhood <br />information meeting be held prior to the issuance of a permit. As previously indicated <br />this will likely extend the site plan review process by several weeks. <br /> <br /> <br />E. SPECIFIC AMENDMENT LANGUAGE <br /> <br />Please refer to Attachment 2. <br />Primary Staff Contact: <br />Michael D. Harvey <br />Planning <br />(919) 245-2597 <br />mharvey@orangecountync.gov <br />Responses from DEAPR and Solid Waste expressed concern over a <br />potential duplication of efforts as there is typically significant public <br />outreach on various projects (i.e. parks, solid waste convenience <br />centers, etc.) Staff added language to the proposed amendment <br />address this concern by eliminating the neighborhood information <br />meeting requirement in those instances where the project was part of <br />a ‘previous planning effort’ that included public outreach and review <br />of a proposed development. <br />An e-mail was sent on August 5, 2013 to all local volunteer fire chiefs <br />as well as public safety agencies throughout the County (i.e. Sheriff, <br />Town of Chapel Hill Police/Fire, Town of Carrboro Police/Fire, Town <br />of Hillsborough Police/Fire, etc.) requesting comments on the <br />proposed amendment. <br />To date no comments have been received. <br /> <br />47
