17 <br /> 1 Commissioner Dorosin said he does not support approving payday lending businesses, <br /> 2 and feels these facilities pray on people and should be banned everywhere. <br /> 3 Commissioner Dorosin said the language of "stuff we use" is ambiguous and broad. <br /> 4 Commissioner Dorosin said he does not see himself supporting a private airfield, and <br /> 5 cannot understand how one would not adversely impact those living near by. <br /> 6 Commissioner Dorosin said the meat issue is more narrowly focused, but he would need <br /> 7 more information on some of the summarizations. <br /> 8 Chair Rich said she agreed with Commissioner Dorosin, and would want more <br /> 9 information before making a motion. <br /> 10 John Roberts said staff is working with Planning to look at other portions of the UDO <br /> 11 that can be streamlined, and planned to present it as an information item. He said this <br /> 12 evening's topics could also be added to that work. <br /> 13 Commissioner Greene agreed that she would not support some of these proposals, <br /> 14 especially the payday lending for sure. <br /> 15 Commissioner Marcoplos in regards to the "stuff we use," he would like to take it on a <br /> 16 case-by-case basis, such as meat processing plants.

He said the core issue is that he does not want to be a city sitting on a <br /> 20 hill while the core dirty work is being done somewhere else. <br /> 21 Michael Harvey said it is not a waste of staff time to look at other issues and report back <br /> 22 to the Board, once there is an updated TOPU. <br /> 23 Chair Rich said Anthony Carey sent the Board an email about his concerns about short- <br /> 24 term rentals, which is below: <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Good Morning Orange County Commissioners, <br /> 27 <br /> 28 On behalf of the Orange County hospitality industry and the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of <br /> 29 Commerce, I am writing to ask the Board to consider modifications to a text amendment being <br /> 30 considered in your public review and approval process at your April 16 meeting.
