Approved 4/1/15 <br />2 <br />PUBLIC CHARGE 55 <br />The Planning Board pledges to the citizens of Orange County its respect. The Board asks its 56 <br />citizens to conduct themselves in a respectful, courteous manner, both with the Board and with 57 <br />fellow citizens. At any time, should any member of the Board or any citizen fail to observe this 58 <br />public charge, the Chair will ask the offending member to leave the meeting until that individual 59 <br />regains personal control. Should decorum fail to be restored, the Chair will recess the meet ing 60 <br />until such time that a genuine commitment to this public charge is observed. 61 <br /> 62 <br />AGENDA ITEM 6: CHAIR COMMENTS 63 <br /> 64 <br />AGENDA ITEM 7: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE, AND ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENTS: 65 <br />To make a recommendation to the BOCC on government-initiated amendments that would 66 <br />establish two new zoning overlay districts in the Efland area. This item was heard at the 67 <br />February 24, 2014 quarterly public hearing and the Planning Board received an update on the 68 <br />topic at its February 4, 2015 meeting. 69 <br />Presenter: Perdita Holts, Special Projects Coordinator 70 <br /> 71 <br />Perdita Holtz reviewed the item and background. 72 <br /> 73 <br />Paul Guthrie: On page 22 in the middle, second paragraph, what is your definition of “high quality development”? 74 <br /> 75 <br />Perdita Holtz: It was something talked about as part of the small area plan process and wanting to ensure that we 76 <br />didn’t end up with a preponderance of metal or cinderblock buildings and the regulations that pertain to internal 77 <br />pedestrian systems, etc. that all add up to what we would term “high quality development”. 78 <br /> 79 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: If you look at the proposed amendments, you talk about community character and the Planning 80 <br />Department will take pictures of buildings to have something to look back on when you are making that somewhat 81 <br />subjective call. Your point is well taken but there will be enough recorded for someone to look at that and say, “how 82 <br />did that happen?” 83 <br /> 84 <br />Craig Benedict: Some of the differences are that we had a lot more mandates about how development should occur 85 <br />very prescriptive but it did mention high quality development. That is subjective but we are creating a mandate and 86 <br />that didn’t go together so now we are creating something that is feasible. 87 <br /> 88 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: I am happy with the development and the community involvement. 89 <br /> 90 <br />MOTION by Laura Nicholson to approve amendments as presented by staff. Seconded by Lisa Stuckey. 91 <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS 92 <br /> 93 <br />Craig Benedict reviewed the history of this project for the new members. 94 <br /> 95 <br />Paul Guthrie: This is a good case study about how we deal with changes in this county. This whole county over the 96 <br />next 50 years will urbanize tremendously so this kind of issue will come up over time and some time when the 97 <br />planning staff catches their breath, they may want to strategize the process so we won’t have to reinvent the wheel 98 <br />each time. 99 <br /> 100 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: A lot of those steps are underway. The UDO is not perfect or light reading but a lot better. There 101 <br />is progress here. What happened in Efland will set a lot of precedence. 102 <br /> 103 <br />AGENDA ITEM 8 DISCUSSION ITEMS: Planning Staff will present information on the following items and receive 104 <br />feedback from the Planning Board: 105 <br />a. Impervious Surface Issues currently being discussed with the state 106 <br />b. Zoning Code Enforcement in and around the Economic Development Districts 107 <br />c. Sexually Oriented Businesses 108
