350 <br /> TOWN OF CARRBORO <br /> off` NORTH CAROLINA <br /> W W W.TOW NOFCARRBO RO.O RG <br /> � CA <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Perdita Holts,Planning Systems Coordinator <br /> FROM: Patricia McGuire,Planning Director <br /> Tina Moon,Planning Administrator <br /> DATE: March 29, 2021 <br /> SUBJECT: Joint Planning Review of Proposed Ordinance Amendments Required for Compliance <br /> with N.C.G.S. 160D <br /> Thank for you the opportunity to read through the County's proposed amendments to conform with <br /> N.C.G.S. Chapter 160D. The language in the new provisions is clear and understandable, and it <br /> represents a lot of work from the Planning Department and the Attorney's Office. <br /> Following our discussion the other day, we've reviewed the proposed amendments again paying <br /> close attention to the differences between the earlier materials and the final version dated February <br /> 26th, 2021. We've noted the proposal to establish two new conditional districts, R-CD and NR-CD, <br /> that would be applicable in the Rural Buffer as well as the removal of conditional use districts as a <br /> zoning mechanism. We find no inconsistency with the adopted Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan. <br /> As you finalize your materials, we've noted a couple of questions/comments below for your <br /> consideration. If you have any questions or need additional information,please let us know. <br /> • It's our understanding that 160D changes the standards associated with security bonds. We <br /> see you've noted these new standards in 6.14.10 for stormwater control measures but not for <br /> some of the other standards that are bonded such as landscaping(6.8.10). <br /> • There is a reference to architectural concept plans, under Section 6.7, Additional Standards <br /> for the MPD-CZD-CD and MPD-RB-CD districts. There is a note that excludes single- <br /> family residential subdivisions from the requirement but not two-family homes. Will this <br /> become voluntary for both types of housing? <br /> 301 WEST MAIN STREET,CARRBORO,NC 27510`(919)918-7325-FAX(919)9184465-TDD(800)826-7653 <br /> AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PROVIDER <br />
