Approved 12/3/14 <br />2 <br />Paul Guthrie: I would encourage you that before the next one comes up that a standard process be created for this. 54 <br />The communications from Chapel Hill for the County is minimal at best. I would say getting some sort of standing 55 <br />policy about how these are dealt with and how it is communicated would be a very good idea. 56 <br /> 57 <br />Andrea Rohrbacher: I agree with Paul about the communications but because of other issues with this area, they 58 <br />monitor very carefully and have been active participants, this has come up before. 59 <br /> 60 <br />Craig Benedict: The BOCC asked me to meet with ETJ and Joint Planning area representatives in Mebane, 61 <br />Hillsborough, Carrboro and Chapel Hill to see if they understand the role of being a representative in an area that 62 <br />does not vote. A meeting was held with Orange County representative on Tuesday, October 28, 2014. 63 <br /> 64 <br /> 65 AGENDA ITEM 3: APPROVAL OF MINUTES 66 <br />October 8, 2014 Regular Meeting 67 <br /> 68 MOTION by Bryant Warren to approve the minutes.

We have been working with the attorney’s office to 102 <br />develop what are also known as sexual oriented businesses. Regulations cannot be completely prohibited of such 103 <br />uses but you can regulate them. 104 <br /> 105 <br />Paul Guthrie: I assume that terminology as defined will not encroach upon other things you don’t have jurisdiction 106 <br />on. For instance, farming. 107
