Tony Blake: Doesn’t the library do a lot of that? Wouldn’t that make the library a school? 270 <br /> 271 <br />Michael Harvey: No. 272 <br /> 273 <br />Buddy Hartley: I think that would be about the same thing as the 21 year old that wants to learn how to drive. 274 <br /> 275 <br />Michael Harvey: Well it doesn’t make the school a driving school but you can’t have a private driving school. The library’s still 276 <br />a library if it’s offering a programmatic service. It’s like the government, and this is a really bad example but it’s the one I’m 277 <br />going to give. The government doesn’t become a movie theater because it has a community open house where they show a 278 <br />movie. A library doesn’t become a movie theater for the same reason. So you don’t lose that principal status. This building has 279 <br />language classes in it, as an example, so it doesn’t turn this into a school. It is a program service offered by the government in 280 <br />terms of its operational parameters to provide services to the public. I will clarify sir where adult literacy, adult education would 281 <br />go in this context so that it’s spelled out a little better. 282 <br /> 283 <br />Randy Marshall: Well, you know, some cases there were retired educators who want to try to help people who do not know 284 <br />how to read. 285 <br /> 286 <br />Michael Harvey: Right. So the other thing I want to call everyone’s attention to: schools; elementary, middle, and secondary; 287 <br />public or private. You’ll note under the Economic Development Eno 1 and I’ve got a footnote there, 15. Everybody see that? 288 <br />I’m going to pick on Kim for a second. What do you see with those land uses? School. 289 <br /> 290 <br />Kim Piracci: Schools, elementary, middle, and secondary. 291 <br /> 292 <br />Michael Harvey: Yes ma’am, that whole column. What I’m getting at is everywhere in the county it’s required to be a Class A 293 <br />SUP. Except for some reason Economic Development Eno zoning district. 294 <br /> 295 <br />Kim Piracci: And that’s the way it exists now? 296 <br /> 297 <br />Michael Harvey: Yes ma’am. 298 <br /> 299 <br />Kim Piracci: And so you’re trying to change it? 300 <br /> 301 <br />Michael Harvey: We’re going to change it to an A. So schools are treated the same in every zoning district. It doesn’t make 302 <br />any sense to us. We have other examples of that in the code. Cemeteries are another example. I’ll get to that in a few 303 <br />minutes. It’s a Class B SUP in every residential zoning district in the county with one notable exception. And I can’t for the life 304 <br />of me figure out why. 305 <br /> 306 <br />Tony Blake: Where was the last school built? Was that in Eno? 307 <br /> 308 <br />Craig Benedict: Probably Gravelly Hill. Inaudible in an economic development zone. 309 <br /> 310 <br />Michael Harvey: Buckhorn. And that went through a Class B SUP process. 311 <br /> 312 Inaudible 313 <br /> 314 <br />Michael Harvey: The charter’s in Hillsborough’s jurisdiction. And they went through; I think they went through a SUP process 315 <br />as well. 316 <br /> 317 <br />Craig Benedict: The only reason this in Eno is we were trying to match up to the Durham zoning code in case it was annexed. 318 <br />And so sometimes if it’s permitted by right over there maybe we permitted it by right, I’d have to check. That might have been 319 <br />some sort of inaudible. It doesn’t have to be that way. It could be a special use on our side and if it ever gets annexed that 320 <br />they fix the zoning inaudible. 321 <br /> 322 <br /> 10 <br />
