6. The applicant has proposed to allow for the development of a School elementary, secondary, and high school land use as a permitted use of property within the project. Section 5.2.2 Table of Permitted Uses Economic Development Districts would allow for a School elementary, secondary, and high school land use to be developed within: a. Economic Development Buckhorn Low and High Intensity (EDB-1 and EDB-2) with the review and approval of Class A Special Use Permit, and b. Economic Development Eno Low Intensity (EDE-1) as a permitted use (i.e. subject to staff review and approval of a site plan application only). Currently a School elementary, secondary, and high school land uses are not a permitted within the various Economic Development Hillsborough general use zoning districts (i.e. EDH-1, EDH-2, EDH-3, EDH-4, and EDH-5). While there is concern about allowing the aforementioned land use within this area, staff recommends a condition be imposed indicating that such a development shall abide by the development standards detailed within Section 5.8.4 of the UDO and obtain approval of a Class A Special Use Permit application prior to the commencement of earth disturbing activity.
