Michael Harvey: You’ll note when we get down further with schools it used to read that school’s vocational. We’ve expanded 323 that list pretty dramatically so as to make sure that we’re not eliminating somebody’s concept of what a vocational school 324 would be. So it’s vocational, business, community, trade, junior college, and technical. 325 326 Randy Marshall: Should we add preschool to elementary, middle, and secondary? 327 328 Michael Harvey: Well that’s not a bad idea. My response to you though is that a preschool is technically a component of that 329 land use categories defined by the state. Preschools are typically the function, or used as a function in an elementary school. 330 331 Randy Marshall: Well there are preschools that stand-alone. 332 333 Michael Harvey: I’m not disagreeing with you, but it’s part of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro school system. 334 335 Randy Marshall: Well what I’m saying is that elementary doesn’t necessarily mean, doesn’t include preschool. 336 337 Michael Harvey: We can add it. Again, it’s not a bad idea, I’m giving you my reaction as well. We can add preschool, that’s not 338 a problem and obviously we’re going to be making sure we’re using a term that is recognized by the state for that so that 339 nobody can claim we’re doing… 340 341 Randy Marshall: Right now I think it’s mostly 3 and 4 year olds that come to preschool. 342 343 Craig Benedict: Randy, where would you think the inaudible 1:03:31 concept would fit now? It’s not really a junior college yet. 344 Is it like 11th/12th grade but not considered a secondary? Middle college? 345 346 Randy Marshall: I think they’re taking courses, inaudible or technical courses, but I think it’s still considered secondary. 347 348 Michael Harvey: And that would actually, Craig, go to the State definition and I would trust your view of that more than mine 349 because of your background, but I think it’s actually covered in the definition of the State component for what constituents an 350 allowable secondary school. 351 352 Randy Marshall: Well if you never received a high school diploma I think you’re probably still considered a high school student. 353 Secondary. 354 355 Michael Harvey: So again, school’s under vocational, we’ve expanded that use. Not only coupled components from NAICS but 356 also the APA list. So where we felt the need we obviously stole from both. Here’s a question and yeah, Tony’s correct, the 357 footnote for some reason is on the next page, I apologize, but universities, colleges, and institutes. I’m at a loss to explain why 358 we require Class A SUP for elementary, middle, and secondary and not require the same for universities, colleges, and 359 institutes. There is one caveat to that but in the State of North Carolina I can’t regulate it anyway. Do you all have any 360 thoughts about that? We were going to be recommending it become a SUP with the understanding that if it is UNC, if it is a 361 State institution, local zoning is more that likely preempted anyway. But for a private college or private institute we didn’t 362 necessarily believe going this permitted by right with no public involvement, no review was vile. 363 364 Lydia Wegman: I agree. 365 366 Michael Harvey: But everyone understands. Well, again, I’m not trying to insult your intelligence. Everyone understands the 367 conundrum I’m going to find myself in when UNC says we’re doing this here? 368 369 Lydia Wegman: We do. 370 371 Tony Blake: The question I had about that whole thing was sort of, UNC is so expansive they have an animal care facility for 372 research; does that fall in this category or does that fall under? 373 374 Michael Harvey: Craig? You and I, Frank Clifton, John Roberts... 375 376 11
