D R A F T <br />3 <br />Craig Benedict: Our economic development zones. There are areas around Hillsborough and the 109 <br />Efland/Buckhorn/Mebane corridor. 110 <br /> 111 <br />Paul Guthrie: Do you see this as a way to begin to bank potential sites that are quick to move or as a classification to 112 <br />ease individual requests? 113 <br /> 114 <br />Craig Benedict: Both. You do want to ease the development process but the first part of your question was if there 115 <br />are sites that would have a better retailability, you do need to preserve those sites for retail. 116 <br /> 117 <br />Tony Blake: I have been reading about form based codes and zoning. This sounds like you are leading up to that. 118 <br /> 119 <br />Craig Benedict: It is more of a mixed use with parameters of development. 120 <br /> 121 <br />Tony Blake: I would love to hear from Steve Brantley. To come and talk to us and give an overview. 122 <br /> 123 <br />Lisa Stuckey: When I came, we were talking about the implementation bridge. Have most of those things been 124 <br />ticked off or no longer relevant? 125 <br /> 126 <br />Tony Blake: Transportation, not so much. 127 <br /> 128 <br />Craig Benedict: There are still items that need to be implemented and are step by step like the Efland Mebane Small 129 <br />Area Plan. 130 <br /> 131 <br />Lisa Stuckey: This was a document that came out of the UDO process. Things they didn’t address. 132 <br /> 133 <br />Craig Benedict: We called it the bucket list. You can’t address all these things at once. 134 <br /> 135 <br />Perdita Holtz: The easy stuff has been done and now we have moved into the hard stuff like the public hearing 136 <br />process changes. 137 <br /> 138 <br />Lisa Stuckey: Sometimes things become irrelevant and sometimes things get forgotten. 139 <br /> 140 MOTION made to approve the report and work plan presented by Craig Benedict by Andrea Rohrbacher. Seconded 141 <br />by Laura Nicholson. 142 VOTE: Unanimous 143 <br /> 144 AGENDA ITEM 8: UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE (UDO) TEXT AMENDMENT: To continue discussion and 145 <br />provide input on government-initiated amendments to the text of the UDO to change the 146 <br />existing public hearing process for Comprehensive Plan-, UDO-, and Zoning Atlas-related 147 <br />items/amendments. This item was heard at the September 8, 2014 quarterly public hearing 148 <br />and was discussed at the October 8 Planning Board meeting. Discussion is expected to focus 149 <br />on the quasi-judicial process. 150 Presenter: Perdita Holtz, Planning Systems Coordinator 151 152 <br />Perdita Holtz reviewed PowerPoint Chart 153 <br /> 154 <br />Paul Guthrie: If there is a different presentation at the BOCC from what was given to this Board, what would 155 <br />happen? 156 <br /> 157 <br />Perdita Holtz: If it were significant, we could say this is a significant difference, you may wish to send it back to the 158 <br />Planning Board and the BOCC would decide. 159 <br /> 160 <br />Paul Guthrie: If you want to catch up to speed on what happened, where would you get that? 161 <br /> 162 <br />7
