APPROVED 4/6/16 Michael Harvey: Correct. A suggestive silhouette will be legal once this gets adopted. 231 A more blatant depiction, if it violates obscenity rules is enforceable. I know that’s a lot 232 to digest, if you all have any other questions I’m more than happy to answer them. I’d 233 like to hear any other comments you have. But this is the direction we’re headed. 234 235 236 237 AGENDA ITEM 8: UPDATE AND DISCUSSION ON UPCOMING WORK PLAN 238 AND POPULATION AND EMPLOYMENT PROJECTIONS- To 239 hear an update on the Planning Board’s Work Plan which was 240 recently reviewed by the Board of County Commissioners and to 241 review prior Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) 242 population and employment projections. 243 244 Presenter: Craig Benedict, Planning Director 245 246 Craig Benedict reviewed abstract. 247 248 Paul Guthrie: Are you saying that in terms of how you’re interpreting this is that the 249 assumption is that there will be no change in the city limits? 250 251 Craig Benedict: We’re going to take a look at a county wide population and then we’ll 252 see if a city expands and goes into the county will be a minus there and a plus there. 253 But [the total growth] will be kind of maxed out, so something that we’re going to be 254 suggesting is cities should have an idea of how much their maximum density is going 255 to be. For Carrboro and Chapel Hill there’s only a little more, even though there’s 256 some re-development opportunities. But they still have an idea of what they put on 257 their maps, what densities it’s going to be re-zoned to. And even with Hillsborough, 258 they know how much available land, they know they have water and sewer limits. So 259 there’s going to be some finite, so we’re going to kind of add up what the cities think 260 they can do and we’re going to do… We know what some of our urban transition 261 zones where we have water and sewer what that can be, that might be a little higher 262 density. And we’re going to consider somewhat conservative what actually is has high 263 growth potential in the county from an undeveloped land standpoint, even though it’s 264 land holding capacity based. But still, the projections will be moderate out there. 265 266 Paul Guthrie: Another quick question. This assumes the existing services 267 infrastructure and not expansion of services infrastructure. 268 269 Craig Benedict: Yes, we’ll take a look at what water and sewer capacity is and make 270 sure we know Hillsborough has limitations with, primarily, the sewer side. The water 271 side is has some potential because they have the second phase of the reservoir. But 272 yes… 273 274 Craig Benedict continued to review abstract 275 276 Paul Guthrie: Do those projections include estimated birth rates? 277
