3 108 Perdita Holtz: I don’t think that provision is in EDH-1 but I’m not 100% sure. 109 110 Paul Guthrie: The area that we’re talking about borders the interstate, at least South side, and one of the things that 111 highways with that kind of traffic and in that type of terrain have a tendency to do is have lower air quality. Is there 112 any consideration in any of this in the permitting process check through that what proposes to be built there will not 113 aggravate the air quality standards in the area surrounding? 114 115 Perdita Holtz: There are performance standards in Article 6 of the UDO and air quality standards are one of the 116 performance standards that projects have to meet. So they would still have to meet those. 117 118 Perdita Holtz continued presentation. 119 120 Tony Blake: Is there a distinction between wholesale and retail? 121 122 Perdita Holtz: Yes. 123 124 Tony Blake: Is there a reason why wholesale is not included in the retail section here? 125 126 Perdita Holtz: It’s not included in the retail section because wholesale is a completely different use type. The 127 Hillsborough EDD uses what’s called NAICS numbers to classify uses, and that’s something that was done quite 128 some time ago now. 129 130 Tony Blake: I was just wondering why wholesale was excluded from EDH-4 and 5. 131 132 Perdita Holtz: Wholesale is on page 38 of the packet, it is being proposed for EDH-5. 133 134 Perdita Holtz continued presentation. 135 136 Craig Benedict: Just to add on, one of the things mentioned earlier, a discussion that we planned to bring public 137 water and sewer under the interstate and those monies for that come from Article 46 sales tax which is just allocated 138 for economic development purposes. So, part of what we’re doing here is to set up a land use program for, primarily, 139 non-residential uses so when we use the money for public water or sewer it matches that. We don’t want to spend 140 economic development monies for tax base and jobs and have it turned to single family residential which, in some 141 cases, the way the plan is now may allow that. We’re being a little bit more prescriptive, we know Hillsborough has 142 recently approved some large residential projects within their jurisdiction so it’s not like we’re excluding residential, 143 but in an area with interstate access and visibility we’re priming it for economic development uses. 144 145 Tony Blake: Is there a requirement for the property owners to connect to this water and sewer or is it just being kind 146 of laid in there? 147 148 Craig Benedict: Yeah, it’s just going to be laid in there. We’re not going to touch every parcel that’s in there. We’re 149 just going to get it under the interstate, which would take a developer a year and a half to two years and when we 150 show a piece of property on the south side of the interstate they say, “Where’s the sewer?” and just getting it to the 151 south side and having somebody be able to tie into that with their own sewer extension might take four to six months 152 - the time it would take them to build the building. 153 154 Tony Blake: Are you planning when you wrote this sewer in to run fiber optics and stuff? 155 156 Craig Benedict: Presently not. 157 158 Lydia Wegman: And this is all outside of the rural buffer, right? 159 160 Perdita Holtz: Yes. It’s all within the primary service area for water and sewer. 161
