b. A final recommendation needs to be made with respect to an applicant proposed condition limiting the percentage of retail operation(s) allowed in District 2 to 30% or 78,540 sq.ft. of total cumulative floor area. The Town of Hillsborough has suggested a limitation on retail of 20,000 sq.ft. of cumulative floor area, approximately 8%. c. A BOCC member suggested a condition on the potential to limit the hours of operations for non-residential land uses locating within the project. STAFF COMMENT: The applicant has responded to the suggestion as follows: At this time the developer would like to remain flexible with the potential hours of operation and address this possible condition during the Site Plan approval process. An operational restriction of this type during the early stage of approvals would infringe on the marketing potential for the project. At this time staff is not recommending the imposition of a condition on the hours of operation for non-residential land uses. d. BOCC members requested the applicant update and provide additional detail on the tax assessment information contained within the application outlining the anticipated tax benefits of the project for the County. There was a general concern there was insufficient information provided within the application supporting identified findings.
