The annual report informs the BOCC of past year’s activities of advisory 74 <br />boards/commissions and assists in overall County work planning. 75 Presenter: Craig Benedict, Planning Director. 76 77 <br />Craig Benedict reviewed the annual report/work plan 78 <br /> 79 <br />Paul Guthrie: What is the definition of negative land use? 80 <br /> 81 <br />Craig Benedict: It could be an adult entertainment establishment. We have been working with the attorney’s office to 82 <br />develop what are also known as sexual oriented businesses. Regulations cannot be completely prohibited of such 83 <br />uses but you can regulate them. 84 <br /> 85 <br />Paul Guthrie: I assume that terminology as defined will not encroach upon other things you don’t have jurisdiction 86 <br />on. For instance, farming. 87 <br /> 88 <br />Craig Benedict: Farming will continue to be exempt from zoning law. 89 <br /> 90 <br />Lydia Wegman: The rural enterprise item, is this agricultural support enterprises already in the UDO? 91 <br /> 92 <br />Craig Benedict: It is in the UDO for areas in the rural part of the County outside the rural buffer. There is dialogue 93 <br />with Chapel Hill and Carrboro about any uses such as ag support enterprises being allowed in the rural buffer. There 94 <br />needs to be joint approval. 95 <br /> 96 <br />Lydia Wegman: Will that come to the Planning Board? 97 <br /> 98 <br />Craig Benedict: It has been to the Planning Board already as far as the abridged list of uses for the rural buffer. If 99 <br />Chapel Hill or Carrboro suggest a shorter list, we will bring it back to this Board. 100 <br /> 101 <br />Lydia Wegman: Is there a way to get more information in writing about the list and what is being considered? 102 <br /> 103 <br />Perdita Holtz: It is on the February 2014 quarterly public hearing materials, the one about the rural buffer. 104 <br /> 105 <br />Tony Blake: The new zoning you are talking about, what specific areas? Would it be the Efland area and the Eno 106 <br />area? 107 <br /> 108 <br />6
