TO: Economic Development Eno High Intensity (EDE-2) and Lower Eno <br />Protected Watershed Protection Overlay. <br /> <br />4. Unified Development Ordinance Text Amendment request submitted by Mr. and Mrs. <br />Don and Donna Easterlin to amend Section 5.6.5 (A) (2) (b) Kennels (Class II) – <br />Standards of Evaluation to reduce required setbacks for Class II Kennels developed <br />within the EDE-2 zoning district. The current minimum setback is 150-feet. The text <br />amendment would reduce the required setback to 25-feet which is the minimum setback <br />for other structures developed in the EDE-2 zoning district. <br /> <br />County Initiated: <br /> <br />5. 2030 Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text <br />Amendments and Zoning Atlas Amendments to establish two new zoning overlay <br />districts in the Efland area (see map in Attachment 2 for locations). The proposed <br />overlay districts are measures to implement some of the recommendations contained in <br />the adopted Efland-Mebane Small Area Plan. This item was heard at the November 19, <br />2012 quarterly public hearing but was not adopted in 2013. <br /> <br />6. 2030 Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text <br />Amendments to establish the Agricultural Support Enterprises program outside of <br />the Rural Buffer land use classification. <br /> <br />7. 2030 Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text <br />Amendments to establish the Agricultural Support Enterprises program within the <br />Rural Buffer land use classification. <br /> <br />8. Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text Amendments to change the existing <br />public hearing process for Comprehensive Plan-, UDO-, and Zoning Atlas-related <br />projects/amendments. <br /> <br /> <br />The legal advertisement in Attachment 1 provides additional information regarding these items. <br />The BOCC approved the Amendment Outline Form for items 5 and 8 at its October 15, 2013 <br />meeting and approved the Amendment Outline Form for item 6 at its September 5, 2013 <br />meeting. Item 7 is an “umbrella” item under item 6; the amendments related to the Rural Buffer <br />were separated from the remainder of the county after the November 21, 2013 Assembly of <br />Governments meeting because it was determined amendments to the Joint Planning Area Land <br />Use Plan & Agreement would be necessary in order to apply the Agricultural Support <br />Enterprises program in the Rural Buffer. Because amendments to the Joint Planning Area <br />documents involve more steps and the staffs and elected officials of the joint planning partners, <br />County staff believed it would be prudent to separate the amendments that pertain to the Rural <br />Buffer for both timeliness and clarity purposes. <br /> <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Other than advertising costs, which are included in the FY 2013-14 <br />Budget, there are no direct financial impacts associated with the approval of this item. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Interim Manager recommends the Board approve the proposed <br />February 24, 2014 Quarterly Public Hearing legal advertisement. <br />6
