6 Tony Blake: Doesn’t the library do a lot of that? Wouldn’t that make the library a school? 270 271 Michael Harvey: No. 272 273 Buddy Hartley: I think that would be about the same thing as the 21 year old that wants to learn how to drive. 274 275 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 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 going to give. The government doesn’t become a movie theater because it has a community open house where they show a 278 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 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 terms of its operational parameters to provide services to the public. I will clarify sir where adult literacy, adult education would 281 go in this context so that it’s spelled out a little better. 282 283 Randy Marshall: Well, you know, some cases there were retired educators who want to try to help people who do not know 284 how to read. 285 286 Michael Harvey: Right. So the other thing I want to call everyone’s attention to: schools; elementary, middle, and secondary; 287 public or private. You’ll note under the Economic Development Eno 1 and I’ve got a footnote there, 15. Everybody see that? 288 I’m going to pick on Kim for a second. What do you see with those land uses? School. 289 290 Kim Piracci: Schools, elementary, middle, and secondary. 291 292 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 SUP. Except for some reason Economic Development Eno zoning district. 294 295 Kim Piracci: And that’s the way it exists now? 296 297 Michael Harvey: Yes ma’am. 298 299 Kim Piracci: And so you’re trying to change it? 300 301 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 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 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 of me figure out why. 305 306 Tony Blake: Where was the last school built? Was that in Eno? 307 308 Craig Benedict: Probably Gravelly Hill. Inaudible in an economic development zone. 309 310 Michael Harvey: Buckhorn. And that went through a Class B SUP process. 311 312 Inaudible 313 314 Michael Harvey: The charter’s in Hillsborough’s jurisdiction. And they went through; I think they went through a SUP process 315 as well. 316 317 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 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 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 they fix the zoning inaudible. 321 322 10
