ATTACHMENT 8 42 <br />DRAFT <br />366 Craig Benedict stated that if anyone wanted to put a project of a different zoning intensity in <br />367 those urbanized areas, even if it was 791ots, to increase the density, they would be required to go <br />368 through a PD rezoning process. Craig stated the discussion which is taking place is a strong <br />369 demarcation between an urban environment and a rural environment. In some cases, those lines <br />370 will be fixed. The blurred lines are the urban sprawl. <br />371 <br />372 Chair Nicole Gooding-Ray questioned pages 020 and 021. Robert Davis said those were put in a <br />373 table to help understand the breakdown in the categories and not the ordinance for consideration <br />374 <br />375 Craig Benedict stated the standards of evaluation are the same. In the rural areas, all these <br />376 standards will apply. <br />377 <br />378 b.l. Buckhorn EDD Proposed Amendments to Permitted Use Table <br />379 Craig Benedict stated the Planning Board heard this in August at the Public Hearing. The <br />380 Commissioners heard this at a work session on August 19, 2003 as a preview so when they went <br />381 into the Public Hearing meeting they were able to make comments. <br />382 <br />383 Ted Triebel asked about the word "urbanization" and why it was attached to Hillsborough and <br />384 Buckhorn but not to Chapel Hill. <br />385 <br />386 Craig Benedict answered by using an attached map and stated that growth boundaries already <br />387 have been agreed to around Chapel Hill and Carrboro.

He asked if this <br />394 was to get water and sewer there. <br />395 <br />396 Craig Benedict answered that it may prompt water and sewer to be brought to the area in a faster <br />397 time frame, which would support other economic development efforts. <br />398 <br />399 Renee Price asked if this was actually trying to change the original intent of the Economic <br />400 Development District. Was it to scale down to being more residential friendly? <br />401 <br />402 Craig Benedict answered that it was not intended for any residential use now. In the 2 other <br />403 development districts there was a primary and secondary areas but this Economic Development <br />404 District was the only one that did not have secondary. <br />405 <br />406 Jay Bryan asked about the uses that were eliminated. <br />407 <br />408 Craig Benedict repeated the eliminated parts. 1) Motor freight terminals were a permitted use by <br />409 right. 2) Storage and distribution of petroleum products. 3) Motor vehicle maintenance and <br />410 repair shop (body shop).
