3 but it’s designed to try to give you an answer that you’re comfortable with. The other thing I want to remind everybody here is 109 that we basically have only two categories of land uses in this County. And those are the general land uses that get further 110 broken down and permitted by right, meaning staff review and approval or Special Use. Meaning they go to Board of 111 Adjustment or County Commissioners for Class A SUP. Then you have the conditional. Conditional districts know, as you 112 might recall from when we did Hearts Mill, list out their own individual uses as part of that development proposal, that 113 development application. There are activities shown in table 5.2.3., which we have in attachment 2 but primarily you also as 114 an applicant can negotiate with the County Commissioners about what those activities could be in certain circumstances. 115 Now, Rita… Everybody remember Rita of the rural economic development activity area, on the 57? That has a list of specific 116 uses. You rezone to Rita, you have to pick one of those uses. Master plan is a global conditioning-zoning district where you’re 117 picking and choosing and proposing to this Board to make a recommendation and the elected officials ultimately approved. 118 That was Hearts Mill, just to give you an example. So part of this is to ensure that when we’re talking about the general use 119 districts you all know and love, such as rural buffer, neighborhood commercial, general commercial, I’m not going to list them 120 all but you get the gist. And then the economic development districts, Buckhorn, Eno, and Hillsborough. You’re going to have 121 consistency in how each land use category is referenced, defined. Within the County you may have a difference in where 122 they’re allowed. For example, you may only allow an asphalt processing batch plant, and again this is just example, in the 123 heavy industrial, which is I-3 and the Hillsborough Economic Development district 5, and nowhere else. But those are the two 124 places where that land use category is going to be permitted. Is everybody with me so far? 125 126 Lisa Stuckey: Does this have to be so precise that you include indoor ski resorts and tesla reproduction manufacturing plants? 127 128 Michael Harvey: The direction I’m getting from the County Attorney’s Office is I have to be as explicit as humanly possible. 129 Now do I have to spell out a Nissan manufacturing plant or Tesla? It’s a good question. Do I have to spell that out implicitly? 130 No. I have to say automotive manufacturing and that can cover the gambit. 131 132 Tony Blake: But there may be a distinction between a gasoline powered manufacturing plan and an electric powered 133 manufacturing plant. 134 135 Michael Harvey: Well it’s still a car. 136 137 Tony Blake: Right but they have different materials and processes and hazards. 138 139 Michael Harvey: Well you may want to have a distinction from the standpoint of what district you allow them in but you don’t 140 necessarily point out and spell out unless you want to. If you want to get to that granular level you could conceivably do that 141 with this. We didn’t take it that way for this example, I think we have actually in there automotive manufacturer. And that’s the 142 category. So the other part of this and this goes back to Lisa’s question earlier, the NAICS code. We are using NAICS 143 because it is an exhaustive list. 144 145 Lisa Stuckey: Well, why reinvent the wheel? 146 147 Michael Harvey: Well that’s part of it. The other part of it is the Staff is still trying to determine if we want to keep references to 148 sector numbers and our initial response here is we’re probably not going to because it’s just going to confuse the issue. 149 150 Tony Blake: Well how do you enforce that granular area? 151 152 Michael Harvey: Well you define uses in your own UDO. And because you also can’t, and James Bryan would disagree with 153 me, I have a hard time saying that we’re going to reference an external document or an external table in terms of defining 154 what this is. It needs to be in our code. So this is the level of complexity we’re about to begin. 155 156 Craig Benedict: It helps with Economic Development. When I would say light manufacturing is allowed in economic 157 development Buckhorn they would say, “Are you sure? You just have it all under light manufacturing. I’d like to see that food 158 processing is allowed”. And under the NAICS code there is something, you know candy production is listed as a sub-category. 159 Also a device that we’re going to use to move through these things as fast as possible, as Michael said the general 160 categories, the RV’s, and the commercials, and the residential, and the economic development and conditional zoning, we’ll 161 put up a use somewhere and we’ll try to populate it as much as we can based on what’s in there. And then we’re going to say, 162 10
