However, there is one project for which a Concept Plan of approximately 26 lots <br />has been submitted and the Planning Board has recommended for approval in April, 2002. The <br />property owner has not submitted for the preliminary plan approval process that will go to the <br />Planning Board and eventually to the BOCC. <br />JOINT PLANNING AREA (JPA) <br />It should be noted that subdivisions in the Rural Buffer that require a Planned Development <br />Zoning Amendment will entail a Courtesy Review per the Joint Planning Agreement with Chapel <br />Hill and Carrboro. <br />EXISTING PROCESS AND TIMEFRAME OUTLINE <br />(See Process and Timeframe Outline, Attachment 6) <br />VII REGULATION CHANGE PROCESS <br />1) Public Hearing held on August 25, 2003 (Comments and responses from the hearing have <br />been summarized and are attached as Growth Management System Comments and <br />Responses, Attachment 7. <br />2) Planning Board, on September 3, 2003, recommended the proposed amendments, with <br />changes noted herein, to the BOCC. <br />3) BOCC considers adopting the proposed amendments on October 21, 2003. <br />VIII FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />There is no public financial impact associated with this item.
